What’s Happening on Lincoln Ave?
Construction crews are continuing their work along N. Lincoln Avenue, with extended road closures due to emergency ComEd utility repairs. This has delayed reopening the road, and now two closures are in place—including in front of our ENJOY Lincoln Square store at 4723 N Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625.
The street is closed to vehicles between W. Lawrence Ave and W. Leland Ave. Despite this, ENJOY, AN URBAN GENERAL STORE and other neighboring businesses are OPEN!
In-store pickup is available, and pedestrian/foot traffic remains welcome.

As this construction closure made part of Lincoln Square car-free—it started a debate that gained a bit of media attention.
