Leaders are scrambling to find a way to curb the downtown chaos caused by large groups of kids – which resulted in a 16-year-old boy being shot and killed in Millennium Park this past Saturday.
– fights were seen outside the Chase Tower, at Dearborn and Adams streets, and numerous other sites.
The Near North District starts just the other side of the Chicago River and extends north to Fullerton Avenue, bounded by Lake Michigan on the east and the North Branch of the Chicago River on the west. Hopkins is not the only alderman concerned about what diverting officers downtown will do to overall city safety – especially now that Mayor Lightfoot has announced the new rules with regard to minors in Millennium Park and the earlier weekend curfew.
Lightfoot says the park ban is a legal time, place, and manner restriction allowed by U.S. Supreme Court precedent. The curfew change is not as clear.
