Want To Shape Recreation Along The Chicago River? Go To This Workshop

If you want to see more recreation, better water quality and job opportunities along the Chicago River, you’ll soon have a chance to say something about it.

Great Rivers Chicago — a partnership between the City of Chicago, Metropolitan Planning Council, Friends of the Chicago River and others — will host a workshop for organizations, groups and neighborhood folks on Feb. 16 from 9 a.m.-noon at the Chicago Maritime Museum, 1200 W. 35th St.

The workshop — “Transform Your Riverfront: Ideas to Action” — is where neighborhood folks will have an opportunity to share feedback, brainstorm ideas and shape a long-term vision for the Chicago River, as well as the Calumet and Des Plaines rivers.
