Belden Avenue

Ald. Timmy Knudsen is considering new restrictions on late-night bars near Lincoln and Belden avenues in Chicago after a shooting injured a woman. Residents and business owners have long complained about noise, littering, and safety issues in the area. Knudsen's office is coordinating with city departments to impose stricter regulations on businesses, including limiting late-night licenses and increasing parking enforcement.

Lincoln Park residents in Chicago are protesting a proposed expansion of Francis W. Parker School, fearing displacement and community disruption. The school plans to build a new educational facility on Belden Avenue, add infrastructure, and convert an administrative building into affordable housing, while residents argue the project lacks community support and prioritizes private interests over public needs.
