Mayors bold plan for Chicago growth aims and projects
Mayor Busse outlines a broad agenda to start electrifying steam railway terminals, build a large city hall, reform revenue systems, and advance harbor and subway plans. He seeks up to a dozen projects next year, with emphasis on street cleaning, water and sewer renewals, and a high pressure downtown system, tied to city finances and bond measures.
