There are two competing visions: one from the mayor and the other from a bloc of alderpeople. Host Jacoby Cochran and creative producer Michelle Navarro are discussing the key differences between the two proposals. Plus, e-scooters are being restricted in Edgewater, and Lollapalooza weekend is back in Chicago.
