Mayor Lightfoot ordered Chicago’s iconic lakefront and other high-profile public areas closed off, a day after crowds flouted social distancing rules to pack beaches and parks on a warm afternoon.

After warning Wednesday that the closures could be coming, on Thursday Lightfoot said they were effective immediately. Chicago police would aggressively be ramping up patrols around trails, bike paths, green spaces, facilities and parks adjacent to the lakefront, and violators would be subject to a single warning before a ticket and possible arrest if they don’t listen, the mayor said.

At an unrelated news conference, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said she had no immediate plans to close the forest preserves, "and there has been no crowding to my knowledge.”
