Description of Program and Relief
Chicago Expanded Outdoor Dining
Chicago’s “Our Streets” plan will open up portions of streets in commercial corridors for expanded outdoor dining. Six pilot streets include:
-
Chatham: 75th Street from Calumet Avenue to Indiana Avenue
-
Lakeview: Broadway from Belmont Avenue to Diversey Parkway
-
Little Village: 26th Street from Central Park to Harding Avenue
-
Rush & Division: Rush Street from Oak Street to Cedar Street
-
Near West Side: Taylor Street from Loomis Street to Ashland Avenue
-
West Loop: Randolph Street from Expressway no further than Elizabeth Street
Chambers of commerce, Special Service Areas (SSAs), business associations, and restaurants in groups of three or more can submit an application for Expanded Outdoor Dining, which would allow fully licensed retail food establishments to temporarily use streets or private property for outdoor dining until 11:00 p.m. A single restaurant can apply individually to operate on private property (such as a parking lot).
