Neighborhood Description Garfield Ridge is located north of Clearing, between I-55, the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad train tracks, 55th Street, Cicero and Harlem Avenue. Many firefighters and policemen live in this community. There is quite a bit of construction in the area as real estate developers are building new homes seemingly everywhere. Midway is between 55th and 63rd Streets, and Cicero and Central avenues. Clearing took its name from the railroad “clearing yards,” the place that trains were taken apart or put together. Germans and Dutch originally settled the area between 65th Street to Cicero Avenue and the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad train tracks to Harlem Avenue. Due to its close proximity to Midway airport, Clearing has a respectable number of businesses, dining establishments, and shopping in the community. The members of the community are very active, with a neighborhood watch group called the Clearing Night Force which patrols the neighborhood to keep it safe and clean.
