Near West Side Walking Tour
Please meet in the atrium at City Hall promptly at 6:00 p.m.
From City Hall we will walk to W 6th St and N Rogers St, where we will enter the Near Westside Neighborhood. We will stop at seven locations along the way, where HAND staff will discuss specific programs and services performed by the department, and neighborhood representatives will provide some historical context and discuss ways that the HAND department has collaborated with local residents to support their community building efforts. We will make our way back to City Hall via the B-Line Trail from the north.
