“The recommendations of the ULI TAP provide a reasonable phased approach to return activity to LaSalle. Many of the recommendations to activate the street; fill vacant storefronts; expand the uses of the street are all consistent with the work of Chicago Loop Alliance and reflective of urban revitalization efforts across the country,” said Michael Edwards, Chicago Loop Alliance President and CEO. “These efforts are also inclusive of affordable housing, university, arts and culture, bring surprise and delight to a historic financial district, and Chicago looks forward to being an active participant to the implementation of the program.”
