Merchants dealwith aftermathof heavy storms

CLEANUP continues after a derecho or a system of stormsproducing damaging winds roared through the NorthwestSide at about 4 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, according to theNational Weather Service. Pictures show some damage in thearea after winds reached more than 75 miles per hour in someplaces, the weather service said.

do what is necessary to stabilize any structural damage thatposes an imminent threat to safety but repair of damagedstructures, roofs, windows, or other elements likely requires

a building permit. For damaged trees, fallen limbs may be removed. However,

the further trimming or removal of trees may require a treemanagement permit.

Local School Council at its Aug. 4meeting voted to discontinue theschool’s “Indians” name and sym-bol, which currently features aNative-American man wearing afeathered headdress.

LSC parent member Benjamin

Wong, who graduated from LaneTech, said that the issue has “frac-tured” friendships among alumnibut that the school’s current sym-bol does not honor Native-American heritage and needs to bechanged. A new symbol would not“change how great of a school LaneTech is,” he said.

The school plans to work on cre-ating a new symbol this fall and itis not known what will happen tothe school’s existing artwork,including an outdoor statue thatdepicts its longtime symbol wear-ing a headdress and shooting whatused to be a bow.

LSC chairwoman Emily Haitesaid that the Chicago PublicSchools’ Office of Equity had askedthe council to hold a public forumon the issue and to conduct a ques-tionnaire, which received 9,135responses.

About 52.5 percent of the respon-dents voted to remove the school’ssymbol, and 47.5 percent voiced

THE LANE Tech Prep High SchoolLSC recently voted to discontinueusing its “Indians” name and symbol.

It’s unclear if a statue titled “Shootingthe Stars” by artist John Szaton thathas been in the school’s courtyardsince the 1940s commemorating gradu-ates who died in WWII would also beremoved. The statue encourages stu-

dents to “aim high” in academics andathletics and “shoot for the sky.”

The school has numerous murals andlogos featuring a Native-American manwearing a feathered headdress.

The school plans to come up with anew logo and mascot.

by JASON MERELThis week’s derecho storm system

on Aug 10 caused widespread damageacross the Northwest Side and someEdgebrook restaurants had to thinkfast about what to do with perishablefood after they lost power.

Dakota 94, 5304 W. Devon Ave.,said in a Facebook post that it choseto donate its perishable food to resi-dents after the restaurant lost powerand backup generators could notpower the coolers.

“Since the ComEd estimate isshowing power won’t be on anytimesoon, we have a freezer full of foodthat we have no space for if anyonewants to come by and take some ofthis off our hands,” an Aug. 11Facebook post said. “We don’t want tothrow out food that someone elsecould use.”

Dakota 94 owner Kayla Lardakissaid that food was individually sealedand people could pick and choosewhat they wanted. She said $8,000worth of food was given away.

Lardakis said that three 5-poundpackages of chorizo, two-and-a-half

cases of chicken tenders, one case ofcorn, five pounds of ground pork, fivecases of cheese curds, four cases of therestaurant’s potato medley, two casesof burgers and six salmon fillets werepicked up.

The power was restored the follow-ing day and the restaurant reopenedfor dinner Wednesday, Aug. 12, shesaid.

“Wednesday is trivia night so it’sone of our busier nights. This was thelast week of a 6-week tournament sowe had a nice crowd. The neighbor-hood has been so supportive through-out the shutdown and we’re just verygrateful,” Lardakis said.

“Everybody just came togetherfrom our staff and they were reallythere for us during this.”

City’s Edge, 5310 W. Devon Ave.,faced a similar problem, according tomanager Blake Baum. He said thebusiness had to throw some preparedfood away but another local restau-rant owner allowed him to temporar-ily store meat in their refrigeratorsand freezers.

State Senator Ram Vil-livalam (D-8) has an-nounced that a new tempo-rary COVID-19 testing sitewas set up at the BernardHorwich Jewish Com-munity Center, 3003 W.Touhy Ave.

“Due to the increasingpositivity rate in Chicago,we need to continue ourstrong testing and contacttracing operations to stayahead of the virus and pre-vent a big outbreak,”Villivalam said. “Not only isthis temporary testing sitea way to make it easierthan ever to get a fast, easyand free test, but it’s alsokey to being able to safely

reopen our state and econo-my. Testing and contacttracing are vital to beingable to put people back towork without compromisingtheir health or that of theircoworkers.”

Testing will be availablefrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.through Aug. 16. Simplenasal swabs will be used,and both drive-through andwalk-up testing will beavailable.

but can still get a test with-out insurance, the pressrelease said.

“Part of why this virusis so dangerous is theasymptomatic cases thatspread silently throughcommunities,” Villivalamsaid. “Most asymptomaticcases won’t know theyhave the virus unlessthey get tested. This sitewill allow anyone whomay be worried aboutupcoming travel, visitingfamily, going to work orcaring for children to geta test to make sure theydon’t have COVID-19 andhopefully bring them alittle peace of mind.”

TaftTaft High School principal

Mark Grishaber said thatwhen Chicago Public Schoolsshare its “Reopening Frame-work 2.0” in the upcomingweeks the administrationwill meet to discuss the newplan.

Grishaber said all classeswill be online at least duringthe first quarter. The Taftleadership team, includingthe department chairs, willbe meeting this week to dis-cuss instructional prioritiesfor the 2020 to 2021 schoolyear.

He said staff would alsodiscuss a new common syl-labus for each of the courses,which would provide uniformprinciples and standards insuch areas as grading,acceptable time to turn inmissed assignments andonline learning expectationsand norms.

“Each of the past 6 years Ihave been principal hasbrought with it challengesand struggles,” Grishabersaid. “This past June to Julyfor a myriad of reasons ourenrollment increased at anexponential rate. Whenschool starts in Septemberwe are expecting close to4,000 students. To put this inperspective we will now bethe fifth largest high schoolin Illinois and we might pos-sibly edge out LyonsTownship for fourth place.”

Grishaber said that LyonsTownship has 4,052 studentsand added that Taft is largerthan 32 other CPS schoolscombined.

“In terms of CPS we arestill the second largest school

and the largest neighbor-hood school by far,”Grishaber said. “I believelarge schools have their ownchallenges but the opportu-nities they provide our stu-dents far exceed any prob-lems.”

He said the school is nowfacing an obstacle becauseCPS did not fund the schoolfor the increase in enroll-ment. This left Taft with a1.2 million dollar shortfalland about 50 days untilschool starts.

In terms of teachers andstaff, Grishaber said Taftneeded to find the funds tohire 12 to 14 new teachers.He said that after meetingwith CPS budget staff, chiefof schools for CPS Network14 Dr. Laura LeMone wasable to help the school securean additional $460,000 infunds.

With these funds theschool was able to hire five ofthe teachers.

Grishaber said that fivemembers of staff were reas-signed to teaching or admin-istrative positions to help fillthe gaps. The school’s athlet-ic director will transition to ateaching role, Grishabersaid. Taft’s head librarianwill transition to a teachingrole with either the DiverseLearner Department or theIndividuals and SocietiesDepartment, he said. Oneadministrator will transitionto teach the dual enrollmentscience classes, anotheradministrator will transitionto teach in the Individualsand Societies Departmentand a third administratorwill transition to help reducethe counseling department’s

caseload.“Trust me when I say I did

not want to start off the yearby having to move 5 teacherswho were all doing outstand-ing jobs, but I can only workwith the budget that is givento me,” Grishaber said. “Thebottom line is, no currentpositions were cut and every-one will be coming back inthe fall.”

Lightfoot dismisses calls for National Guard helpby RAYMON TRONCOSOCapitol News IllinoisSPRINGFIELD – Chicago

Mayor Lori Lightfoot saidshe remained opposed tocalling the Illinois NationalGuard into her city after anight of looting and unrestthat led to more than 100arrests early on Aug. 10.

At a joint news conferenceon Aug. 10 with Gov. J.B.Pritzker, Lightfoot shutdown the idea after takingquestions on PresidentTrump’s repeated offer tosend in federal troops.

“Both of us believe this isnot an incident thatrequires the NationalGuard,” she said of herselfand the governor.

In line with her previousstatements on federalinvolvement in the city,Lightfoot said she wouldwelcome resources and leg-islation at the federal levelthat would help Chicagolaw enforcement fightcrime. Those include guncontrol legislation to pre-vent weapons from beingbrought into Illinois fromother states; funding for theBureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,Firearms and Explosives, orATF, to prevent the sale ofguns to straw purchasers;and stronger federal over-sight of licensed gun deal-ers.

“We need that help fromthe federal government. I’veasked for that repeatedly.I’ve never heard an answerfrom the president,”Lightfoot said.

Her reluctance to acceptfederal aid stands in con-trast to a statement fromIllinois House RepublicanLeader Jim Durkin, whodecried the situation inChicago Monday morning.

“Once again, Illinois gov-

ernment has failed to pro-tect its residents and busi-nesses. It is time to bring inthe National Guard andaccept any and all federalassistance to stop the chaosthat is destroying our state.No more excuses. No morefailures,” the WesternSprings Republican said inthe e-mail statement.

In a series of tweets,Illinois Senate RepublicanLeader Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, also called thelooting in Chicago “unac-ceptable.”

“I implore our leaders atthe city, state and federallevels to do everything theycan to ensure those whoperpetrated these crimesare prosecuted to the fullestextent of the law, and thatall measures are taken toensure our residents andbusinesses remain safe,”Brady wrote.

Both Lightfoot andPritzker said the state andcity were cooperating andemphasized the need forcriminal charges.

“These were criminals.People who broke in, whowere shooting at people,”Pritzker said. “We had 13, Ibelieve 13 Chicago police offi-cers who were injured lastnight. This was criminalactivity, those criminals needto be held accountable.”

Cook County State’sAttorney Kim Foxx, whoseoffice is in charge of prose-cuting criminals in the areathat includes Chicago, hasbeen criticized for being toolenient on individualsarrested for allegedly loot-ing and rioting during sum-mer protests against policebrutality related to thedeath of George Floyd.

A report released by theChicago Tribune showed

that in her first three yearsas a state’s attorney, Foxx’soffice dropped all chargesagainst nearly 30 percent offelony defendants, or morethan 25,000 total. The vastmajority of charges droppedwere for “narcotics offens-es,” or drug crimes, whichwas a policy choice as partof the criminal justicereform platform Foxxexplicitly ran on in her raceto be elected top prosecutorin Cook County.

When it came to violentcrime, Foxx’s office droppedcharges at a similar rate toher predecessor.

During a press conferencewith Chicago PoliceDepartment superintendentDavid Brown, Lightfoot saidthere weren’t enough conse-quences for people whoengaged in illegal and vio-lent activity during theGeorge Floyd protests.Despite Foxx’s office beingresponsible for prosecutingthose crimes, Lightfoot, whoendorsed Foxx in her elec-tion, became agitated whenasked by a reporter if thestate’s attorney was toblame.

“Don’t try to bait us, mis-characterize, pit oneagainst the other - we’re notplaying that,” Lightfootsaid.

At her own press confer-ence on Aug. 10, Foxx notedthat in 2017, 2018 and 2019- the three years analyzedby the Tribune - violentcrime, shootings and homi-cide rates dropped inChicago.

“In the wake of 2016’s vio-lence, we saw communitiescome together... We cannottalk about ‘all hands ondeck’ and seek simple solu-tions to complex problems,we must continue to work

together,” Foxx said.Foxx acknowledged her

office enacted a policy not toprosecute peaceful protest-ers arrested in May andJune, but said conflatingpeaceful protesters withrioters and looters, whomher office has prosecuted,was wrong and disingenu-ous. According to Foxx, themajority of charges filed inCook County during thoseprotests were misde-meanors and municipal vio-lations.

“Last night was not anextension of a peacefulprotest. Last night was notan extension of righteousanger. Last night was a bla-tant display of criminalbehavior,” Foxx said.

In 2020, murders haverisen nationally even whilecrime and violent crimehave both fallen comparedto previous years. Based onthese statistics, Foxx saidthat what happened down-town on a “random Sundaynight, looting in the middleof Michigan Avenue” wasindicative of a trend thathas no simple solution.

by RUSS STEWARTThe worst fate that can befall

Donald Trump is to be reelectedpresident. And the worst fate thatcan befall Joe Biden is to be electedpresident. And the worst fate thatcan and will befall the Americanpeople is that 2020 will end with-out any significant economic, pan-demic or social respite, and that2021 will be even more miserable.

There are certain 2020 politicalrealities. First, there is enormousTrump fatigue. People are reallytired — and increasingly irritated— of seeing him and listening tohis platitudes. A majority ofAmerican voters clearly want thepresident to do one thing, which isto go away. Four more years is justunthinkable.

Second, there is equally enor-mous Biden apprehension. His sup-porters cringe every time “SleepyJoe” starts blinking before answer-ing a question. Will there be agaffe? Or a senior moment? Amajority of American voters want apresident who doesn’t need amonthly cognition competence test.Can Biden be trusted to fix ourcountry’s mess? It’s either Trumpor him. Polls show it’s Biden.

And third, there will be a social-ist experiment in America in thevery near future. What the COVID-19 crisis has proven is that the fed-eral government has the power totell citizens what to do and how tothink. That it can print and spendtrillions of dollars in an instant.That the capitalistic creation ofwealth through work has beensuperseded by the government’screation of dependency throughdebt. That fiscal responsibility,either personal or governmental, isso passé. Who needs a “work ethic”when one can live just swell by notworking? And that victimhood isnot only endemic and institutional,but also virtuous and monetarilybeneficial, and a pretext for indis-criminate law-breaking, street-rioting, culture-canceling and stat-ue-toppling. The concept that gov-ernment can solve everything andpay everybody has firmly takenroot. A politically correct Utopiaawaits.

The idea that “democratic social-ism” is America’s panacea will per-sist until it is proven that it cannot.Which means it must be tried andit must fail. There are several polit-ical scenarios:

SCENARIO NUMBER ONE:Trump wins, but with fewer popu-lar votes than Biden (like in 2016).Biden is blamed, and accused ofbeing insufficiently “progressive.”

No old moderate White guy in2024. Democrats keep the U.S.House and take the Senate. Streetprotests ensue. Political chaosreigns until 2024. The economydoes not robustly rebound,although 42 percent of jobs losthave been reclaimed, and Trump isblamed. COVID-19 vaccines proveto be of spotty effectiveness. Cityand state governments drown indeficits, and demand federalbailouts, which Trump resists.Evictions and foreclosures explode,unemployment remains over 10percent, crime skyrockets, big-citypolice are “defunded,” street

protests about everything persist,and Trump’s U.S. Supreme Courtpicks are stalled. With no quickCOVID-19 cure and no economicturnabout, the stock marketplunges to under 20,000, and then15,000, wiping-out vast retireewealth. And with foreclosuresstarting to glut the housing marketand property taxes soaring, homeprices — especially for multi-unitapartment buildings — collapse.And the airlines, with UnitedAirlines first in line, start Chapter13 bankruptcies. It’s Depressiontime.

Democrats win lopsided Houseand Senate majorities in 2022. Anew generation of progressives, notincluding Bernie Sanders orElizabeth Warren, embarks on aquest for the presidency in 2024,and one wins, defeating MikePence. The “socialist experiment”is underway: Green New Deal,open borders, amnesty for undocu-mented immigrants, Medicare forall, defund the military, free collegetuition, reparations for slavery, for-giveness of student loans, infra-structure upgrades, and aGuaranteed Annual Income($10,000) for everybody. Democratswill have 4 years (2025-28) to doreal damage.

SCENARIO NUMBER TWO:Biden wins, Democrats take theSenate, no “protests” ensue, andBiden’s promise to be “the mostprogressive president in history” isput to the test. He fails. TheDemocrats’ “wish list,” as set forth

above, is not enacted because thereis no money, but there will be plen-ty of new regulations, especially onenergy producers, and proposedmilitary cuts and proposed taxhikes on “the wealthy.” That’s the$1 trillion needed to fund theirplan. The consequences of theDepression, as set forth above, willoccur under Biden (as they wouldunder Trump).

Trump-free Republicans willmake a roaring comeback in 2022,retaking the House and Senate andstalemating the nascent “socialistexperiment.” There will be noBiden “cure,” because there are noquick and easy solutions to ourintractable problems. Everythingis much worse in 2024 than in2020.

SCENARIO NUMBER THREE:Biden wins but Republicans keep aSenate majority. That definitelystalls not only the “wish list” butany 2022 Republican comeback.Republicans will be blamed for allills, and Democrats will retake theSenate. But then the “socialistexperiment” can proceed unimped-ed during 2023-24. Again, if every-thing is still much worse in 2024than in 2020, Republicans win. Ifthings are somewhat better in 2024than 2020, Democrats win.

And there is one further reality:America’s electorate is becomingmuch younger and progressive.Maintenance of the status quo isthe paramount issue: Does itchange incrementally, as always?Or does it change monumentally,right now?

Mitt Romney caught a lot of flakin 2012 when he claimed that 47percent of the U.S. population issupported by the taxes paid by theother 53 percent. In COVID-19America that ratio is now some-thing like 60 percent payees and 40percent payers. That is not sustain-able in a capitalistic society. Nor isa COVID-19-caused national debtuptick to $26 trillion, which meansthe annual under-1.2 percent inter-est paid on the U.S. Treasury’sbills, bonds and notes would nowbe somewhere around $2 trillion.The whole U.S. budget, at least in2019, was $4.3 trillion.

Imagine the U.S. budget as fourpillars of $1 trillion each: (1) Socialsecurity, Medicare/healthcare andthe disabled. (2) Active military,pensions and VA benefits. (3)Interest on the national debt. And(4) all other ongoing federal opera-tions and pensions, including rev-enue sharing and education.Because the Fed has kept the

support for keeping it. About 60percent of the respondents werealumni, and support for retainingthe symbol declined sharply withyounger alumni. The other 40 per-cent of the respondents consisted ofstudents, faculty and communitymembers, and most of them sup-ported the symbol’s removal.

Most of the speakers at the Aug.4 meeting expressed concernsabout the symbol and called for itsremoval.

Lane Tech graduate JayneBlacker said that as a Native-American she would “cut school” onpep rally days due to the offensiveimages on shirts and the wearingof a headdress by some students.She said that the school’s focusshould be on “the students oftoday” and that it is time for a newsymbol.

Student Maxwell Jenkins saidthat there is “nothing respectful”about the school’s current symboland that the school now has anopportunity to enhance its “richtradition,” similar to when theschool decades ago made the deci-sion to change its enrollment policyto allow female students to attendthe school.

2010 Lane Tech graduate JetziCalvin said that the school’s sym-bol is “oppressive” and “racist” and

that “there is no need for furtherdiscussion.”

1976 graduate Michael Plan-thaber said that the school’s sym-bol and name motivated studentsto achieve success not only while atschool but in their future career.“Warriors shoot for the stars,” hesaid. “It’s a tradition of Lane.”

Alum Raymond Roschmann saidthat the symbol represented “a pos-itive value of the school” and thathe believes “there is an educationalalternative” to changing the sym-bol.

One of the speakers said that thesymbol was not a mascot becausethe school did not have an official“Indian mascot” performing atsporting events, similar to how theUniversity of Illinois once had atthe halftime of football games.

2020 graduate Jude Greiner saidthat while many alumni may takepride in the school’s symbol, theschool needs a new symbol whichcurrent students can “have pridein.”

An online petition at www.change.org calling for a new symbolwas created by a group of Lane Techstudents, and more than 6,200 peo-ple have signed it. “We all want toshow our pride in being Lane Techstudents by proudly wearing ourschool apparel in public, but it is dif-

ficult to proudly wear apparel that issynonymous with the use of offen-sive and antiquated stereotypes,”the petition states.

The Facebook page for the LaneTech Alumni Association includes avariety of comments on the issue.

“You can’t change history, but youcan learn from it. We all had pridein the Indian mascot, not preju-dice,” one poster said.

Another wrote, “There shouldn’thave to be a vote. Just change themascot (because) it’s the rightthing to do. I’m a proud Nativewoman. I graduated from Lane in1989. Never did I feel honored bythe mascot. Never.”

“It’s 2020, time to modernize. Lookto the future, not be stuck in thepast. The future students deservethat much. I voted (in a school sur-vey), but honestly asking alum fromdecades ago is not prudent. We arenot your target audience. Yourfuture students should be yourfocus. Given them an inspiringname they can be proud of, be moti-vated by,” another poster said.

That comment prompted thefollowing response: “It’s an honorto go to Lane Tech, and ‘Shootingfor the Stars’ and the proudIndian pulling back on the bow isnot a slur of any kind, but a signof excellence and aspiration.”

Baum said the major loss at City’sEdge is that the new beer tap systemthat was recently installed was dis-abled by the storm. He said draft beerwill be temporarily unavailable.

“Knock on wood, hopefully we canget through it,” Baum said.

Edgebrook-Sauganash Chamber ofCommerce executive director Jen-nifer Herren said that the power out-age primarily affected the 5300 blockof Devon Avenue and power wasrestored.

Elsewhere, a large sign at MikeAnderson Chevrolet of Chicago, 5333W. Irving Park Road, fell onto theroadway and struck a vehicle.Several trees were also felled inPortage Park, including one thatblocked the gateway entrance.Residents were also busy cleaning updebris and tree branches. The 3500block of North Oak Park Avenue hadnumerous fallen trees from eyewit-ness reports. The streets and sanita-tion department reported more than2,000 emergency calls citywide.

The Shabbona Park fieldhouse,6935 W. Addison St., sustained heavydamage after much of the roof wastorn off and debris was scatteredaround the area.

“The deputy superintendent of thepark district came out and inspectedit,” Alderman Nicholas Sposato (38th)said. “But the roof won’t be fixedovernight.” See picture on Page 3.

Sposato said that the Departmentof Streets and Sanitation’s Bureau ofForestry received about 130 treeemergency requests and 142 treedebris removal requests in the ward.

Alderman Jim Gardiner (45th) saidhe and his ward superintendent wentthrough the ward with an axe and achain saw to clear sidewalks androadways but no major structuraldamage was reported in the ward.

Alderman Samantha Nugent(39th) said her office received about50 calls within an hour after thestorm and had two response teamsworking the night of the storm, inaddition to the streets and sanitationteams to assess the damage. Much ofthe damage in the 39th Ward wascaused by falling tree limbs and therewere only a few instances of structur-al damage.

Local School Council at its Aug. 10meeting voted 9 to 3 to discontinuethe resource officer program at theschool.

“There is a real big problem ofracism in the school, and it’s exac-erbated with ... police in thisschool,” music teacher JavierPayano told the LSC prior to thevote. “The presence of a police offi-cer is traumatizing.”

Principal Brian Tennison alsovoiced support for removing offi-cers from the school, whose enroll-ment is more than 4,000 students.“One student who feels uncomfort-able is one too many,” he said.

All but a few of the 30 speakersat the meeting spoke in favor ofending the SRO program at LaneTech, although an earlier surveyby the LSC showed that 62.2 per-cent of the 1,327 respondentsvoiced support to retain the policeofficers. About 60 percent of therespondents were parents, whooverwhelmingly supported keep-ing police on campus.

LSC chairwoman Emily Haite,who voted to remove the SROs,said at the start of the meetingthat the officers have not made anarrest at Lane Tech since Tennisonbecame its principal in 2016. Sheadded that removing the officerswould not result in additionalfunds for other resources at theschool.

LSC parent member Patricia

O’Keefe voted to retain the offi-cers, adding that some studentsmay feel less safe without theSROs. “The key is to having(police) inside the building,” shesaid in the event of an active shoot-er. “Why not have a police officerwith a bullet proof vest take thebullet from a shooter.”

Several speakers said that stud-ies have shown that SROs are notan effective deterrent to shootings.

In addition, several alumnirecalled that they felt uncomfort-able seeing armed officers whenthey entered or exited the school,and another graduate said that see-ing an officer at the school madehim uncomfortable due to hisundocumented status.

Teacher Miles Comiskey saidthat “guns do not need to be in ourschool” and that for many studentsseeing armed officers is “morereminders” of the “difficult thingsthat happen in our city, (and) Idon’t think we need more of that.”

Parent Bob Vanna, who works asa police officer, said that he sup-port keeping the SROs and saidthat the school can always requesta new officer if one is not workingout.

On the survey, 59 percent of thestudents said that they have nothad an interaction with an SRO,while 22 percent said their interac-tion was positive. In addition, 13percent described their interactionas neutral, and 5 percent said itwas negative.

Lane also votes to getrid of officers in school

Eleven aldermen have signed onas co-sponsors of the proposed ordi-nance, Napolitano said.

“We have also been in discussionswith the Metropolitan PlanningCouncil and the Metropolitan WaterReclamation District who are bothvery interested in assisting with theprogram,” he said.

The proposed ordinance calls forthe city departments of WaterManagement and Buildings to workon a cost-sharing program in whichthe city and property owners wouldeach pay a portion of the costs offlood control measures for homesand other structures.

It also calls for the departments toexplore “additional flood reliefmeasures for new developments toease the flow of storm water to thecity’s sewer system, including greeninfrastructure installations.”

The virtual hearing is scheduledto begin at 10 a.m. and will be avail-able to view online at https://chicityclerk.com/.

In addition, the committee willaccept written public comments onthe proposal through 5 p.m. Mon-day, Aug. 17, via e-mail at ectd@cityofchicago.org.

Apartments planned on parking lot siteby BRIAN NADIG

Alderman Nicholas Sposato (38th)held a community meeting Wednes-day, Aug. 12, on a proposal to buildnine market rate apartments on thesite of a parking lot at 4420 N.Austin Ave.

The 4,660-square-foot parcel wasonce an extra parking lot for the for-mer Byline Bank at the northwest cor-ner of Montrose and Austin avenues.

In 2018 opposition stopped a planto build a 7-Eleven convenience storeand a gas station at the corner. Thatproject would have included use ofthe parking lot on Austin.

Sposato said that it is his under-standing that the owner of a Shellgas station at 5959 W. MontroseAve. ended up buying the proper-ties in an effort to help preventanother gas station from opening atthe intersection and that he is nowtrying to sell the land. There also isa restrictive covenant attached tothe property’s deed which prohibitsa new bank at the corner, he said.

Under the proposal the site of theparking lot would be rezoned fromRS-2 to B2-3.

There would be one parkingspace for each apartment, with a

projected monthly rent of about$2,000, Sposato said. The project isnot large enough to be subject tothe city’s affordable housingrequirements.

“We’ll see what the communitythinks (of the proposal),” Sposatosaid, adding that the lot has becomean eyesore with trucks often parkedthere. “You didn’t want the 7-Eleven.What do we put there?”

The proposed three-story height ofthe project would not be much differ-ent than the height of a 2 1/2-story“modern-looking” home on the block,Sposato said.

Several speakers said that stud-ies have shown that SROs are notan effective deterrent to shootings.

In addition, several alumnirecalled that they felt uncomfort-able seeing armed officers whenthey entered or exited the school,and another graduate said that see-ing an officer at the school madehim uncomfortable due to hisundocumented status.

Teacher Miles Comiskey saidthat “guns do not need to be in ourschool” and that for many studentsseeing armed officers is “morereminders” of the “difficult thingsthat happen in our city, (and) Idon’t think we need more of that.”

Parent Bob Vanna, who works asa police officer, said that he sup-port keeping the SROs and saidthat the school can always requesta new officer if one is not workingout.

On the survey, 59 percent of thestudents said that they have nothad an interaction with an SRO,while 22 percent said their interac-tion was positive. In addition, 13percent described their interactionas neutral, and 5 percent said itwas negative.

Lane also votes to getrid of officers in school

Eleven aldermen have signed onas co-sponsors of the proposed ordi-nance, Napolitano said.

“We have also been in discussionswith the Metropolitan PlanningCouncil and the Metropolitan WaterReclamation District who are bothvery interested in assisting with theprogram,” he said.

The proposed ordinance calls forthe city departments of WaterManagement and Buildings to workon a cost-sharing program in whichthe city and property owners wouldeach pay a portion of the costs offlood control measures for homesand other structures.

It also calls for the departments toexplore “additional flood reliefmeasures for new developments toease the flow of storm water to thecity’s sewer system, including greeninfrastructure installations.”

The virtual hearing is scheduledto begin at 10 a.m. and will be avail-able to view online at https://chicityclerk.com/.

In addition, the committee willaccept written public comments onthe proposal through 5 p.m. Mon-day, Aug. 17, via e-mail at ectd@cityofchicago.org.

Apartments planned on parking lot siteby BRIAN NADIG

Alderman Nicholas Sposato (38th)held a community meeting Wednes-day, Aug. 12, on a proposal to buildnine market rate apartments on thesite of a parking lot at 4420 N.Austin Ave.

The 4,660-square-foot parcel wasonce an extra parking lot for the for-mer Byline Bank at the northwest cor-ner of Montrose and Austin avenues.

In 2018 opposition stopped a planto build a 7-Eleven convenience storeand a gas station at the corner. Thatproject would have included use ofthe parking lot on Austin.

Sposato said that it is his under-standing that the owner of a Shellgas station at 5959 W. MontroseAve. ended up buying the proper-ties in an effort to help preventanother gas station from opening atthe intersection and that he is nowtrying to sell the land. There also isa restrictive covenant attached tothe property’s deed which prohibitsa new bank at the corner, he said.

Under the proposal the site of theparking lot would be rezoned fromRS-2 to B2-3.

There would be one parkingspace for each apartment, with a

projected monthly rent of about$2,000, Sposato said. The project isnot large enough to be subject tothe city’s affordable housingrequirements.

“We’ll see what the communitythinks (of the proposal),” Sposatosaid, adding that the lot has becomean eyesore with trucks often parkedthere. “You didn’t want the 7-Eleven.What do we put there?”

The proposed three-story height ofthe project would not be much differ-ent than the height of a 2 1/2-story“modern-looking” home on the block,Sposato said.
