On June 18, 2025, the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance to amend sections 4-60-022 (25.203) and 4-60-023 (25.202) of the Municipal Code. This amendment effectively lifts previous restrictions on the issuance of new alcoholic liquor licenses for on-premise consumption and package goods licenses within a specific area of the 25th Ward. The affected area is on Blue Island Avenue, spanning from 14th Street to 16th Street. Introduced by Alderman Byron Sigcho-López, the ordinance was favorably recommended by the Committee on License and Consumer Protection, chaired by Alderman Debra Silverstein, on June 11, 2025, before its final passage by the full City Council.
