If it seems like Chicago is looking a bit more polished, it’s not just your imagination.
With the Democratic National Convention just days away, city and state cleanup crews have been working overtime to prepare the city for the national spotlight. Street sweepers have been spotted along Madison Street near Kedzie, more than a mile west of the United Center.On Monday, about two dozen Streets and Sanitation workers were busy trimming trees, cleaning sidewalks, and removing graffiti from areas of the West Side that usually don’t receive this level of attention.
In a statement, a Streets and Sanitation spokesperson said, "With thousands of visitors expected to arrive for the Democratic National Convention, our staff will be out all week removing debris and graffiti, as well as street sweeping and tree trimming to help showcase our world-class city."34th Ward Alderman Bill Conway, whose ward lies just east of the United Center, supports the effort.
