CHICAGO (CBS) -- A "people plaza" reopened on Thursday in the Loop, just in time for summer gatherings.

Officially dubbed "The Gateway," it's located on the median space on State Street between Lake Street and Wacker Drive.

First opened in 2013, the plaza features seating and tables, shade umbrellas, planters, trees, and public artwork.

The Chicago Loop Alliance hopes The Gateway can serve as a gathering place for workers, residents, and visitors as warmer weather arrives in Chicago.
