who we are



The Gateway to Midway Committee was established March 15, 2017 as a collaborative alliance of local businesses, organizations and residents to revitalize and improve the decrepit appearance of Cicero Avenue, the Gateway to Midway and the Greater Southwest Side of Chicago.



Gateway to Midway



gateway to midway



Cicero Avenue is a main thoroughfare used by most visitors and Chicagoans to get to/from Midway airport, Downtown and O’Hare Airport. The abysmal condition of the buildings and vacant lots along Cicero Avenue creates a very negative perception of our City to first time travelers and is not indicative of the well kept residential area just east or west of this Avenue, nor is Cicero reflective of the thriving restaurants, delis, and commercial business that line the cross-streets of Archer Avenue, 55th, 59th and 63rd Streets.
.



AS PART OF OUR MISSION THE GATEWAY TO MIDWAY COMMITTEE WAS FORMED TO HELP BRING TOGETHER THE COLLECTIVE RESOURCES OF OUR ALDERMEN, MAYOR, STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO ADDRESS THE MANY CONCERNS OF THE BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS OF THE GREATER SOUTHWEST SIDE. IT IS OUR INTENTION TO WORK PROACTIVELY WITH ALL OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS TO BRING COMMON SENSE POSITIVE CHANGE TO THIS SEVERELY UNDERUTILIZED CRUCIAL CORRIDOR
