GNMAA has been informed by the Chicago Department of Tourism (CDOT) that-
  • Beginning the week of April 1, CTA Station construction will begin resulting in full-time lane reductions on both Grand Avenue and State Street.  These lane reductions will occur through October 2008. (see attached map)
  • Local businesses and residents with questions should call CDOT at (312) 744-8061 or e-mail cdotnews@cityofchicago.org. To learn more about the project, visit CDOT's website at www.cityofchicago.org/transportation.


Construction Alert


Beginning the week of May 5, Children’s Memorial Hospital will start construction on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago at 225 E. Chicago Ave. (next to Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital).

In preparation, our contractor will be installing a pedestrian canopy on Chicago Avenue beginning today, Wednesday, April 30, through the end of this week. Per the City of Chicago permit, the work hours will be 7pm - 6am. There will not be any heavy machinery utilized for this installation, so we expect minimal noise.

Throughout May, the following will occur at the site: barricades installed, site cleared, site pre-trenched for sheeting installation, begin establishing earth retention system, start sheeting installation and commence site excavation.

During the rest of 2008, the following will occur: complete earth retention system, install caissons and continue site excavation.

The construction team will typically work 6 days a week from 8am to 6pm. However, in the event of unanticipated delays (e.g. inclement weather), and for timely completion of construction, work may be done on Sundays. All work will be done within the 8am to 8pm timeframe of the City of Chicago noise ordinance.

This and other construction information was presented at Children’s Memorial Hospital’s Community Pre-Construction Meeting on Thursday, April 24. If you would like to see the presentation, fact sheet and other information about our new hospital, go to www.childrensmemorial.org/newhospital/construction.

We will continue to update you on our construction progress. If you have any questions or to be added to our email database, please contact Nahlah Daddino, Director of Community Relations, at ndaddino@childrensmemorial.org or 312-975-8733. Thank you.
