The River of Traffic On Ridge/Hollywood Hurts Edgewater’s Livability
The Edgewater neighborhood along the north lakefront should be a pleasant place to walk. It's the second-densest community area in the city, with 56,521 residents in an area just 1.5 miles across, and boasts lively commercial areas like Andersonville.
