  • Report and Opinion
    Report and Opinion Concerning the Impact of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Cultural Landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois Including the Project’s Compatibility with Basic Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance By: Malcolm D. Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.

  • 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.
