- A major milestone in the Bloomingdale Trail project is happening this weekend. Weather permitting, on Saturday is the planned installation of arches over a bridge that crosses Milwaukee Avenue. A portion of the street will be closed, so plan accordingly. [DNAinfo Chicago]
- Mayoral challenger Bob Fioretti has called for five debates before early voting for the mayoral election begins, including three televised debates. Fioretti’s plan would include all candidates with at least 5 percent of the vote in public opinion polls. [Sun-Times]
- IDOT is sticking by their choice of operation in removing graffiti from a key inbound Kennedy Expressway sign earlier this morning. The graffiti removal caused some major traffic delays during rush hour. [Sun-Times]
- Remember the iconic "Z" Frank Chevrolet sign that we mentioned yesterday was up for grabs for free, otherwise it would end up getting scrapped? Looks like the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society is here to help. [DNAinfo Chicago]
- Here's something you don't see every day; an owl swimming in Lake Michigan. Even with all those feathers, we bet it was still a pretty chilly dip. [Huffington Post Chicago]
