Drops in office human occupancy were seen nationwide as the Delta variant contributed to a surge of COVID-19 cases. More workers may also have taken long-awaited summer vacations, contributing to lower office attendance.<\/li>\n<li>Along with office occupancy rates, parking garage occupancy rates fell slightly to 58 percent of 2019 levels, from 61 percent in July. Digital parking bookings have been over 100 percent of normal levels for seven weeks, showing that the Loop continues to attract visitors to the many open venues and experiences downtown.<\/li>\n<li>Preliminary CTA data suggests that ridership remained in the 40-50 percent range in August.<\/li>\n<li>Hotel occupancy in July rose dramatically, hitting the highest rate recorded since the pandemic began, at 62 percent of normal, likely due to Lollapalooza\u2019s impact. This hotel data is always provided one month behind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were concerned that the COVID-19 surge driven by the Delta variant would have a severe impact on Loop activity, but mitigation measures like continued vaccinations, vaccine mandates or requirements, and a reinstated mask mandate have worked well in avoiding another lockdown,\u201d said Chicago Loop Alliance President and CEO Michael Edwards. \u201cLooking ahead, we\u2019re optimistic for improved metrics as COVID-19 cases and the city\u2019s positivity rate gradually decline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">Sundays on State, which has significantly boosted pedestrian activity during each event, wrapped up on Sept. 12.
