Introduction
Goose Island is an artificial island formed by the North Branch of the Chicago River on the west and the North Branch Canal on the east. Goose Island has been a site of redevelopment of former industrial locations similar to the River North, Fulton Market and Pilsen neighborhoods of Chicago.
Transportation
Goose Island is accessible by the Chicago “L” Blue and Red Lines, the METRA Electric District and North Central Service Trains, as well as Busses #132, #70, and #8.
Residents also have access to Lyft/Uber rideshare and water taxi services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
The population of Goose Island is approximately 13,348 residents with a median age of 33. The median household income according to the most recent U.S. Census is $87,186.
Education
The Goose Island area is primarily serviced by Chicago Public Schools, charter schools, and private schools, which include:
- International Student Leadership
- Chicago Academy of the Arts
- Skinner North Classical School
- Fusion Academy Lincoln Park
When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, playground injuries, college accidents, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Goose Island is home to some activities and attractions, which include:
- The iO Theater
- Royal George Theater
- The Second City
While most of the time spent at these attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
