  • Questions and Answers (.Pdf)
    QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT - RESPONSE FROM PROJECT TEAM 1 On what authority can you dismiss proposed measures outside of the resolve Avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures are considered throughout the project development adverse effects process? process. Avoidance measures are considered early in the project development process and are implemented when feasible and reasonable. If an avoidance measure cannot be implemented, it is usually dismissed before reaching the "resolve adverse effects" stage of the section 106 process. Unless there is a change in circumstances, avoidance alternatives that are dismissed are not re-evaluated. The Section 106 process does not prohibit Federal agencies from considering avoidance and minimization efforts earlier in the process than the "resolve adverse effects" stage. 2 Why was there no Section 106 review for either the Skating Rink or Midway Federal review was not triggered for those projectssince they did not need any federal Lighting? Both were considered adverse effects on the Midway Plaisance permits/approvals and did not receive any federal funding, therefore an analysis of effects was not assessment performed. 3 Isn't there already a Frederick Douglass marker in Jackson Park? Preliminary research shows an article from the 2009 Hyde Park Historical Society that shows a picture of the Frederick Douglass boulder and states that it is near the Bowling Green. Note that this has not been visually confirmed. 4 Who pays for and maintains the agreed upon Mitigation measures. This issue will be resolved through the MOA negotiation process and that the MOA will set forth who is responsible for funding each mitigation measure.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2014 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL, CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT CELEBRATE COMPLETION OF FIVE PLAYGROUNDS AS PART OF CHICAGO PLAYS! PROGRAM Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Chicago Park District General Superintendent Michael Kelly, Alderman Anthony Beale, Aldermen Will Burns, Alderman Leslie Hairston, Alderman Emma Mitts and community leaders celebrated the completion of refurbished playgrounds with ribbon cutting ceremonies today as part of Mayor Emanuel’s Chicago Plays! program. “These playgrounds provide Chicago kids with a safe place to play and be active, but they also help form the foundation for a stronger community,” said Mayor Emanuel. “As part of the Chicago Plays! initiative, we aren’t just building playgrounds – we’re building a new Chicago, community by community.” Ribbons were cut at five rehabbed playgrounds at parks in neighborhoods across the City: Jackson Park in Woodlawn, Carver Park in Altgeld, Touhy Park in Rogers Park, Harold Washington Park in Hyde Park and Davis Park in Austin. Of the 103 playgrounds to be built or rehabbed this year, 20 have already been completed. “Mayor Emanuel’s Chicago Plays! plan was established to provide vibrant, accessible playgrounds to children across the city,” said Chicago Park District General Superintendent Michael. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to renovate more playgrounds and impact more communities than expected this year.” In March, 2013, Mayor Emanuel announced that over a five year period, the Chicago Park District will rebuild, repair and/or refurbish 325 playgrounds in communities across Chicago. Last year, 50 playgrounds were completely rehabilitated as part of Mayor Emanuel’s Chicago Plays! playground renovation program.

Chair McGarry welcomed the community guests. Minutes. Minutes for February 18, 2015, were approved as circulated. SSA District as “Downtown Hyde Park.” Director Reaves presented the banner design modifications provided by Otherwise, Inc., in response to requests from the Commissioners last month. Additional tag lines suggested by Otherwise, Inc., are “embrace the uncommon” and “deep roots new vibe.” Banners need to be approved prior to the April meeting in order for there to be enough time to issue an RFP and produce the banners to coincide with the hanging of the flower baskets in April, at which time a kickoff is planned throughout the district. Banners will be changed twice a year, instead of quarterly, as originally planned. Banners will be saved for reuse or sold after they are taken down. Commissioners Rumsey moved that Commissioners Hanson, Hartman, and Hennessy work with Director Reaves on the cost, number, and location of the banners, and that they have authorization to approve up to $10,000 in expenditures (which is half of the budget for this line item). The resolution was seconded by Commissioner Guttman and approved unanimously. Branding. “Downtown Hyde Park” is part of Phase 1 of the branding project.
