Gay Travel: This Year's Chicago Pride Rerouted Through Uptown |
|
|
|
 With attendance continuing to rise, Chicago's Gay Pride Parade organizers have rerouted Sunday's celebration to include the Uptown neighborhood. Organizers say the parade route has also been extended by five blocks for safety and crowd control.
Ald. Tom Tunney, 44th, said the organizers knew changes were necessary when last year's parade drew 750,000 people, up from 200,000 just five years earlier.
"We knew the previous year's route, which trapped many constituents in my ward between Halsted and Broadway for nearly the whole day, would no longer work," Tunney said. "Last year, we had too much congestion in the central Lakeview neighborhood."
