Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot 's $3.7-billion, five-year capital spending plan was approved through the Chicago City Council's finance committee Nov. 18 by a 22-10 vote of aldermen. From decaying bridges to bumpy roads and an eroding Lake Michigan shoreline, repairing a decades-old backlog of Chicago’s aging infrastructure is the focus of the plan.
The 26-page capital plan is scheduled to be voted on by the full city council on Monday.
