  • The Bureau of Bridges and Transit of the Chicago Department of Transportation
    Executive Summary This report documents recent efforts to examine the vessel traffic conditions on the Chicago River and to develop recommendations to the City of Chicago, Department of Transportation for establishing a River Management Plan. Interviews were held with numerous stakeholders from city, state and federal governmental personnel as well as individuals representing commercial, private and environmental concerns. Historical data on river usage by industrial and commercial interests as well as private recreational craft (power and human-powered) were examined. There are two general issue areas and four more specific issues that are discussed in this paper. The general issues refer to overall data collection, storage, and analysis and the potential terrorist threats in a post-9/11 era. The specific issue categories are Operations, River Banks, Capital Projects, and Programming. In order for a river management plan to be effective it is essential that there be a centralized site for the collation, analysis, and dissemination of river-related data and information. With the numerous agencies currently involved in construction, permitting, safety, licensing, and special events it is often the case that important information required by someone gets lost and the process can be confusing. By establishing a central analysis repository for all such data, total river operations can be managed much more efficiently. It is recommended that this office be located within the Chicago Department of Transportation. Operations. This category is subdivided into two sub-groups: River Operation Issues and Waterway Zones. The former deals largely with issues related to safe operation on the river in terms of licensing, regulations and education.

  • Garfield Park Fieldhouse (Originally the West Park Commission Administration Building) 100 N
    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Garfield Park Fieldhouse (Originally the West Park Commission Administration Building) 100 N. 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. GARFIELD PARK FIELDHOUSE (Originally West Park Commission Administration Building) 100 N. Central Park Ave. Built: 1928 Architects: Michaelsen & Rognstad Chicago’s distinctive park buildings, with their exceptional architectural designs and fine craftsmanship, are notable structures in the City’s neighborhoods. The Garfield Park Fieldhouse—known to thousands of Chicagoans as the “Gold Dome Building” for its distinctive gold-leaf dome towering over Garfield Park—is a dramatic visual landmark for the surrounding Garfield Park neighborhood.
