| Description | Mayor Rahm Emanuel said today that he agreed with the decision Monday by Chicago police to close North Avenue Beach after several people began showing signs of heat-related sickness.
The beach was closed at about 6 p.m. after Chicago Fire Department paramedics were called to the beach to deal with several people who required medical attention.
At least four people were taken to area hospitals from the beach including one 18-year-old who was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital during the Memorial Day holiday.
Emanuel said today he was not consulted before the shutdown, and promised a review of the decision-making process behind the closure. But at first blush he thinks police "took the appropriate steps" so paramedics could get to people in distress.
