Officials · Ward 42
Brendan Reilly
Alderman, 42nd Ward — in office since 2007
The eastern edge of the West Loop along the Chicago River — the area between the river and the Kennedy Expressway, including buildings facing the river along Wacker Drive and slivers north of Madison.
About
The 42nd Ward's primary geography is the Loop business district downtown, but the boundary crosses the river to include a narrow strip of the West Loop's east edge. Riverside Plaza, the Ogilvie Transportation Center area, and some buildings along South Wacker fall in 42.
