Yes, some kind of what looks like a locust tree is all over the Chicago area and I've seen it up in southern Wisconsin very close to the 4-5 boarder. I'm not sure what it's exact name is but it's all over the place and planted by many cities in this area.Are there any trees that have double compound leaves that are cold hardy?
Those are Honey Locust. Very common city street tree in the mid-west, and native. Black Locust have larger leaves, nice fragrant flowers, more raggedy, shaggy bark, but are very upright, stiff, prone to breakage from ice, snow, and wind, and wire poorly. They grow upland on drier ground. They look very dark green in summer, groves look black from a distance. There is a pink flowered cultivar, and two contorted, 'Twisty Baby' & 'Lace Lady' neither of which is dwarf. They all look like Halloween trees in winter.Yes, some kind of what looks like a locust tree is all over the Chicago area and I've seen it up in southern Wisconsin very close to the 4-5 boarder.

I've been trying to get a air layer off my mt ash for a couple years. Going to try a different tree this spring.What about Mountain ash cultivars(Sorbus spp) - very cold hardy with colourful fruit and great autumn colours?
Never heard of Idaho Locust. I have seen the bristly one called ~sticky? locust? Safe to say that would be cut & grow, wiring would be a challenge.@Forsoothe! Have you seen Idaho locust? They have pink flowers and bloom multiple times during the summer.
I had a stunted and deformed one by the house until DH ran it over with the ATV. It came back as a clump, they do sucker though. They pop up all over the yard.
Edit: I actually have a bristly locust, one of the parent trees of the idaho.

You have a sucker you want to trade?
