Advocates of abandoning Evanston s policy of charging for beach access describe it as racist and exclusionary. (Jonah Meadows/Patch)
EVANSTON, IL The Evanston City Council voted Monday to phase out the city s policy of charging its residents for access to public beaches.
Starting this week, Evanston residents will no longer need a pass or a token on Saturdays, Sundays or Mondays to visit one of the six public swimming beaches operated by the city.
Aldermen also directed staff to come up with a plan for free beach access to all Evanston residents every day for the 2022 season. Previously, only Clark Street Beach was free to Evanston residents and only on Mondays in June and July.
Several former city leaders had plans to hold a Zoom meeting Wednesday to “discuss strategy” in combating “anti-incumbency” efforts they alleged rooted in community organizations like the Organization for Positive Action and Leadership ahead of the April 6 general election.
The meeting was organized by former aldermen Jane Grover (7th) and Delores Holmes (5th), along with former Evanston Chief Equity Officer Patricia Efiom and residents Kelly Marcelle and Dick Peach. An email invite to the meeting that was obtained by the Daily was sent Tuesday evening to over 60 people, including Mayor Steve Hagerty, former Evanston Director of Finance William Stafford, and Northwestern Executive Director of Neighborhood and Community Relations Dave Davis.
