EDGEWATER — An Edgewater intersection that has long attracted neighbors’ concerns over being unsafe for pedestrians could be getting a new type of crosswalk infrastructure. Chicago Department of Transportation officials are proposing a “pedestrian hybrid beacon” for the five-way intersection of Ridge, Hollywood and Wayne avenues, which currently does not have any stop signs or traffic lights.

ROGERS PARK — One of Loyola’s buildings on Sheridan Road is going to be torn down this summer to make room for a building for its nursing program. Campion Hall, 6551 N. Sheridan Road, is one of Loyola’s few buildings outside of its main campus to the south, and it’s also the university’s oldest residence hall, built in 1954, according to the school. It needs to be torn down because the upkeep of its “deteriorating condition” is costly, according to the university.
