  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 5, 2021
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 5, 2021 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR LIGHTFOOT JOINS ALDERMAN JASON ERVIN, GARFIELD PARK RITE TO WELLNESS COLLABORATIVE MEMBERS, AND LOCAL RESIDENTS TO BREAK GROUND AT COMMUNITY PLAZA AND ROLLER RINK IN WEST GARFIELD PARK New Plaza represents City’s first major infrastructure investment under the Neighborhood Activation Initiative Chicago- Today, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot joined Alderman Jason Ervin (28th Ward), City departments and agencies, and members of the Garfield Park Rite to Wellness Collaborative to break ground on a vacant lot that is being transformed into a new Community Plaza and Roller Rink in West Garfield Park as part of the Mayor’s new Neighborhood Activation initiative. Neighborhood Activation is a focused violence prevention and community investment initiative that combines community direction and aspirations and City services and assets to implement programs, social services, and changes to the built environment at a hyperlocal block level. "Neighborhood Activation serves as my administration's latest commitment to enhancing public safety and builds on our comprehensive summer safety strategy," said Mayor Lightfoot. "By making investments at the block level in communities that are facing high levels of violence, we are able to give our most vulnerable residents the resources they need to stay engaged and stay safe. Only by driving resources where they are needed most, with input from community members, can we truly eliminate the scourge of violence from our city." According to statistics, West Garfield Park ranks seven out of the top 15 neighborhoods experiencing gun violence, and from January 1 – May 31, 2021, West Garfield Park had the highest rate of fatal and non-fatal shootings relative to the population of all community areas in the city.

Central Park Ave. Final Landmark recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, September 3, 2009. CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Zoning and Planning Patricia A. Scudiero, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose ten members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommend- ing to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final.
