Clip: 10/16/2016 | 4m 53sVideo has Closed Captions
A look at one alderman’s very ambitious plan to extend Chicago’s popular 606 trail.
The nearly 3-mile path was deemed a design and greenway success when it opened last year. But if one alderman’s vision comes to light, The 606 could further connect it to the heart of the city. His plan, however, faces some significant funding, engineering and logistical challenges.
