The City Council of Chicago passed an ordinance amending Municipal Code sections 4-60-022 and 4-60-023 to remove the prohibition on additional alcoholic liquor licenses for consumption and package goods licenses on the portion of Wells Street between Oak Street and Division Street. By deleting subsections 28.28 from both code sections, the ordinance enables new on-premise consumption and off-premise sales in this downtown corridor. Introduced by Alderman Walter Burnett Jr., the measure was referred to the Committee on License and Consumer Protection on March 12, 2025, received a favorable recommendation on April 8, and passed City Council on April 16, 2025. The ordinance takes effect upon passage and approval, signaling immediate eligibility for new licenses. This change aims to support commercial diversity, improve access for local establishments, and encourage economic activity along Wells Street.
