Overall safety on the avenue has improved, but the problems—carjackings, robberies and muggings—are real, says Peter Hanig, president of Hanig's Footwear at 875 N. Michigan Ave.

He adds the project on Michigan Avenue is more than halfway done. Construction will resume in spring of 2025 with the project expected to be completed later in the year.
