Here we go again!

It has come to my attention that Chicago Park District personnel are working 
with citizens to create a new dog friendly area right along the Chicago River. 
 This is despite the fact that some park staffers think that the master plan 
for the river calls for all areas to be natural habitat.  Below is all I know 
- it's all I could find on the web. 

Hopefully Leslie Borns is on this list.  I've been told she may know more.
