Chicago City Council is considering a new proposal for a citywide teen curfew aimed at addressing disruptive gatherings during the summer. The initiative, originally focused on imposing an 8 p.m. curfew on unaccompanied minors in downtown Chicago, faced potential contention but was averted through a last-minute compromise. The revised plan would empower the Chicago Police Superintendent and local district commanders to declare temporary, localized teen curfews as needed across the city. Alderman Brian Hopkins, who represents part of downtown Chicago, has been negotiating with Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration on the proposal. The mayor has expressed openness to negotiations, and curfew violations have reportedly declined recently. The City Council vote on the curfew plan was initially scheduled for Wednesday but may see further adjustments before final approval.
