On Saturday, April 25, 2009, Mayor Daley joined CCIL’s Landscape Services team, Gateway Green and 140 volunteers from Bank of America in planting more than 100 trees in celebration of Earth Day (April 22, 2009) and Arbor Day (April 24, 2009). A majority of trees were planted in a vacant lot donated by the City located along the I55 expressway near the Chinatown. Gateway Green, in conjunction with the City of Chicago and state of Illinois, works to beautify the expressways.
