The City of Chicago plans to improve Congress Parkway from Michigan Avenue to Wells Street starting in 2010. The $10-20 million project will realign the roadway, reduce lanes to widen sidewalks, add landscaping, and interconnect traffic signals to improve safety and mobility for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. Construction is scheduled from 2010-2012 and will coincide with other area improvement projects by the state and city to minimize disruption.
