City officials on Wednesday unveiled their safety plan for downtown New Year's Eve celebrations happening in Chicago this weekend.
"If you're going to come downtown, you've got to do so with the right spirit, to have fun but not to cause mischief or worse, commit crimes," Lightfoot said. "As my mother would tell me, 'if you go out in public and you act a fool, there's going to be accountability.'"
At 4 p.m., the Chicago Riverwalk will close east of State Street to all pedestrian traffic. The remainder of the Riverwalk west of State Street will close based on public safety. Viewing will not be allowed from the Chicago Riverwalk.
