Beautification Awards

The Winter/Holiday 2018/2019 Magnificent Mile® Beautification Walk was held on December 12th by the Planning and Advocacy Division’s Public Way Committee. Once again, members of the Committee graded each property on North Michigan Avenue between the Chicago River and Oak Street and acknowledged those properties that provided the most festive and visually exciting parkway gardens for the long winter season lasting from November through May when the tulips will start poking through the dirt.

The Public Way Committee would like to thank all of the property owners and their landscape contractors who worked so diligently in preparing their beautiful garden designs and maintaining outstanding public way conditions along The Magnificent Mile. We would also like to thank the Woman’s Athletic Club of Chicago, 626 N. Michigan Avenue, for graciously hosting a luncheon and committee review meeting after the December Winter/Holiday Beautification Walk.

 

Congratulations to the 2018 Winners!
