This weekend: Getting around the area will present some challenges

Bus and Blue Line passengers may experience travel time delays, while bicyclists, walkers and auto drivers may experience their own delays.

As festival season returns, bus travel around West Town is being impacted and the Blue Line has ongoing repairs.

Whether it is East Village, Ukrainian Village, Wicker Park of any of the other neighborhoods in the West Town Community, street disruptions due to various destruction and reconstruction work coupled with resurfacing projects challenge all who wish to traverse area streets.
