You now have more storefronts to choose from to locate your bar, brewpub, or packaged goods store on parts of Milwaukee Ave. in Avondale.
Or, if you already have a café or restaurant you can now apply for a liquor license.
Alder Ariel Reboyras (30th Ward) removed arbitrary restrictions against businesses selling or serving alcohol on Milwaukee Ave. between Ridgeway Ave. and Springfield Ave. on January 25, 2017. He has also introduced legislation to remove those restrictions from Hamlin Ave. to Central Park Ave.
The two sections are continuous, and the restriction continues north on Milwaukee Ave. from Springfield to Kedvale Ave.
I can’t tell yet if this is for a specific business or group of businesses. It could also result from the general awareness that fewer restrictions on businesses means more businesses.
