Community meeting for shoreline project in Hyde Park

Wednesday, January 21
7pm
47th Street Coop grocery store
 --2 blocks west of South Lake Shore Drive


Here is your chance to urge the City to build wetlands along Lake Shore Drive.


The City of Chicago and its many governmental partners are finalizing plans 
for the restoration of the shoreline from 45th to 51st Street (AKA the Morgan 
Shoals project).

This is one of the last community meetings that will influence how the 
shoreline area will be used.  The City's designers have presented many options 
ranging from a recreation focus to plans with wetlands and nature areas.  You can 
see the current choices at http://www.hydepark.org .  (The link is in the 
orange box on the right side.) 

The governmental officials have expressed a desire to have a wetlands focus  
---the DOE Commissioner said she would like to recreate IL Beach State Park--- 
but they need citizens to support their efforts.  It is likely that there 
will be community participants who attend this meeting to express their strong 
support for a large, heavy recreational beaches.  (They have attend the previous 
community meeting.) 

You do not have live in the neighborhood to attend the meeting -- all 
Chicagoans are welcomed.
