Jewelers Row, known to hold some of the finest items of a girl’s best friend, may not have such a bright future. With CTA construction plans on the Green Line’s Morgan Station located on Washington-Wabash set to start this fall and the city’s new plan to turn car lanes into bus and bike lanes, Jewelers Row business owners are worried.
