About 100 activists protested outside Ald. Cappleman's office, promising to wage war for the homeless. 

The three-minute limit will be tracked by two giant digital shot clocks in the Council Chambers.

The clock was derided as "tacky" by one aldermen. Activists criticized the 3-minute proposed limit.

Rehab of the Lawrence Avenue and Wilson Avenue viaducts is expected to start in August or September.

A judge ruled that city officials must allow members of the public to weigh in at Council meetings.

The new policy was announced by the city after a loss in court.

Protesters held dueling demonstrations over housing proposals outside Ald. John Arena's (45th) office.

Circuit Judge Diane J. Larsen did not say Council actions should be voided in her December order.

Ald. James Cappleman (46th) said the shelter will remain open for "years to come."

The suit was sparked by the Council's decision to give a city subsidy to an Uptown development.

The three were arrested for occupying Ald. James Cappleman's office at 4544 N. Broadway Monday night.

The march will begin at 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Lake Shore Drive.

A group of more than 100 activists rallied and marched through Bronzeville to protest police violence.

Keeping Uptown activists from chamber stifled criticism of a Clarendon Avenue project, lawsuit says.

"We'll always be here for you," Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson told the crowd gathered in Boystown.
