An eleventh-hour parliamentary maneuver today derailed for now a controversial plan to rename Outer Lake Shore Drive in honor of Jean Baptiste Point DuSable.
Any two aldermen can move to “defer and publish,” which delays consideration of any matter for one meeting without explanation.
The parliamentary maneuver was executed by Aldermen Brian Hopkins (2nd) and Ariel Reboyras (30th).
