Mobile Workshop

Community Policing in Hospitality Zones

The Mobile tour will end at the Excalibur night club, an historic landmark built in 1892 as the Chicago Historical Society Building.

The Division Street-River North neighborhoods will be the focus of the day's final roundtable discussion as representatives from the area's stakeholder groups describe the challenges and opportunities as more dense housing is added to an already vibrant night life district, and the implementation of a pilot program and its application to the other districts.

Discussion Topics

• History of the neighborhood

• Hospitality zones

• Transition to dense residential

• Interaction among residents, businesses and law enforcement

• Best practices of developers

• Avoiding conflicts through proper orientation of urban life to new residents

• Improving communication
