First District Commander David Harris announced the launch of a new task force aimed at addressing these issues.Major topics of discussion included the upcoming NASCAR Chicago Street Race slated for July.
Furthermore, Chicago is poised to welcome 5,000 delegates, 12,000 volunteers, and over 50,000 visitors for the Democratic National Convention over four days in August.
