Obama Presidential Center alternative proposed by Protect Our Parks

A rendering of a structure proposed as an alternative to the Obama Presidential Center. In a last-minute bid to derail a project that finally appears to have a lot of momentum, opponents of the proposed Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park have released some flashy schematics of how a reimagined center might instead be built elsewhere on the South Side. The artist’s renditions, based on rough designs by South Side architect Grahm Balkany, are only a concept for how the center and an adjacent parking structure could be built just east of Washington Park, on land mostly owned by the city and University of Chicago that earlier had been pitched to the Obama Foundation.

Coastal access: CRMC deems Public Street in Providence as right-of-way

From its name, you d assume that Public Street was intended for the public.  But before the attorney general s office intervened last winter, fences blocked off the road s eastern terminus where it meets the Providence River. People from low-income neighborhoods in South Providence and Washington Park were cut off from one of the few places where they could walk to the waterfront and fish.  Now, the long-overlooked stretch of gravel and asphalt, which attorneys say should have been open all along, will be permanently protected as a public access point. The Coastal Resources Management Council voted unanimously on Tuesday night to designate Public Street as a shoreline right-of-way, a move that will prevent it from falling into private hands and becoming off-limits forever. 

City Hall: Six Council Members Want Tougher Pandemic Rules

The city allowed its emergency health order to expire on June 1st, eliminating the associated mask mandate. Barrett has repeatedly said Milwaukee’s approach is to “follow the science.” The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued updated guidance Tuesday that even vaccinated people should wear masks in areas where COVID-19 is spreading at “substantial” or “high” rates. More than 46% of U.S. counties fall into that classification, including Milwaukee. The City of Milwaukee reported a rate of 50.7 cases per 100,000 residents last week, putting the city back into the “substantial” category. “We certainly have the hope that Milwaukeeans will embrace masks once more,” said Barrett during a media briefing Tuesday, but he also said he did not expect Johnson to use her authority to issue a new mandate.
