Chicago authorities are limiting access to the city’s Central Business District and Loop after businesses suffered widespread damage during protests on Saturday night. The city announced Sunday that various streets and transportation routes to the business district will be temporarily reduced.
The Chicago Police Department and other city agencies will reduce access to the Central Business District and Loop “to only employees whose businesses are located within the designated boundaries, individuals who reside in the surrounding area and residents engaged in essential activities,” reported Chicago Tribune, citing a news release from the mayor’s office.
