The trail is named 606 as an homage to all Chicagoans, who share the 606 zipcode.

The city of Chicago announced the future opening of the Bloomingdale Trail; a nearly three-mile long elevated trail, will be linked to five ground-level neighborhood parks, as well as an observatory, wheel-friendly event plaza and various art installations.

This will form the park and trail system known as The 606.

The 606 name is an homage to the 606 zip code prefix all Chicagoans share.

The Bloomingdale Trail, will open to the public in the fall of 2014.
