Dear 6th Ward Residents,


We are at a pivotal moment in shaping the future of our community.


The upcoming “Road to Red Line Development” Community Meetings are not just informational sessions—they are an opportunity for you to directly influence how growth, investment, and opportunity take shape in the 6th Ward.


This is about more than transportation. It’s about economic development, jobs, housing, safety, and long-term stability for our neighborhoods. The Red Line expansion presents a once-in-a-generation chance to ensure that development reflects the needs, voices, and priorities of the people who live here.


That’s why your participation is critical.


We have structured these meetings to focus on key areas:


April 14 at 6PM – Community Innovation 

 Help shape new ideas for development, business growth, and infrastructure.


April 21 at 6PM – Community Integration 

 Discuss how development connects with our neighborhoods, culture, and existing assets.


April 28 at 6PM – Community Benefit Agreement 

 Ensure that development delivers real, measurable benefits to residents.


Location: 8000 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60619


These meetings are designed to build together—not for the community, but with the community.


Your voice will help guide decisions that impact generations to come. If you care about how our ward grows, who benefits, and what we protect, then you need to be in the room.


Let’s move the 6th Ward forward—together.


Sincerely, 


Alderman William Hall 

6th Ward – City of Chicago
