Washington DC, June 14, 2024: A study by authors from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), published today in Nature Sustainability, reaffirms the world’s growing dependence on depleting groundwater systems. Although efforts to slow down groundwater depletion need to be urgently accelerated, this study indicates that such efforts – in the absence of other accompanying measures – would likely lead to significant food security impacts.

More than 20 million face acute food insecurity.

As part of public way restoration work, the RPM contractor will install expansion joints in the pavement. There will be no through access in the alley, though garages/parking will remain accessible during this period.

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) today proposed a $2.16 billion operating budget that keeps fares at current levels, delivers more bus and rail service hours than provided in 2019, and fuels new and ongoing investments to either expand or modernize existing infrastructure, while also evolving current systems to meet modern transit riding needs.

Access to garages in alleys between W Ardmore and W Thorndale by the CTA tracks will be maintained during this work.
