An article in Crain’s from earlier this week described a new plan by the Chicago Loop Alliance to rework a stretch of Michigan Avenue between Wacker Drive and Randolph Street to “improve the pedestrian experience along this important gateway.”
The article referenced the Chicago Loop Alliance’s findings (due out today), which will likely call for a special tax for property owners along the strip to fund the $165 million improvement.
In conjunction with the article, Crain’s produced this slideshow (narrated by Eddie Baeb) showing the current state of the avenue and how the Alliance’s proposal might improve it. The image above is a screenshot from the slideshow.

At one time I worked in Illinois Center and later on in the 233 N. Michigan Avenue building. This looks to be a vast improvement on a mostly desultory streetscape.
A complete waste of money. Do you think this short block is going to deter anyone from walking down Michigan?
