Fundraising efforts to improve the Major Taylor Trail and others in the south suburbs are underway as officials envision "a complete [bike] network" on the South Side.
Share Town s new fire station is expected to be ready for crews to live and work by late May.
The town’s new fire station is nearing completion with features and facilities never offered before to first responders on the island.
During a tour of the site at 2162 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Fire Chief Paul Dezzi said the plan is to open around the third week of May.
“Seeing what we forecasted or what we wanted coming to what it is today, here it is, a thing on a piece of paper is now becoming a reality,” Dezzi said.
Since the demolition of the old fire station in June 2020, south-side firefighters have operated out of a temporary trailer directly north of the new station getting built.
