Dear Building Managers, Businesses and Residents of the LaSalle Street Area,

As most of you hopefully know, Paramount Pictures is planning to film scenes for their upcoming motion picture, Transformers 4, along LaSalle Street. This is the second letter of notification being sent out; please take note of the following DATE CHANGES. Again, working closely with Alderman Reilly's office, we want to maintain strong lines of communication with the community. We are also working with the Chicago Police Department and the Chicago Film Office to ensure a smooth and cooperative filming event. Below you will find a NEW SCHEDULE of activity that could affect you. Please find details of proposed filming below:

  • LaSalle and Clark Street, within these closures, will also have 10 to 15 minute delays.
  • Traffic on Wells and Dearborn St. will not be affected.

We operate with highly trained professionals and will be working closely with the necessary officials to ensure the safety of everyone and everything involved.
