Roadblocks were set up on State Street between Lake and Randolph streets and many other stretches of pavement throughout the city and suburbs. But the roadblocks were not meant to keep people out—quite the opposite, they were meant to invite people in.
"It's a great event where the community and the police come together unified, strengthen our partnership—standing together united as one around crime issues," said Chicago Police Near North (18th) District Sgt. Chris Shank.
