I have the honor and pleasure of presenting Folio, which T celebrates excellence in the field of landscape architecture.T hese award-winning projects exemplify the high quality of professional practice in Illinois, and the broad spectrum of work in which landscape architects demonstrate leadership in design and environmental planning. Difficult economic times continue to challenge our profession. I can think of no better time than right now for us, as landscape architects, to applaud our accomplishments and, in turn, raise our visibility. The CELEBRATION event is exactly one of those opportunities. But an annual event is simply not enough to mark our endeavors. We are visionaries—creative, sustainable, influential, and inspiring—and leaders in environmental design and planning. To further this point, ASLA launched a year-long initiative to promote, at the local level, what it is that landscape architects truly do. The Chapter also has access to a comprehensive video that depicts not just what landscape architects do; it envisions what we could do. It captures the talents of practitioners, from the technical skills of land and waterway analysis, to the artistry of sketches and plans that communicate design intent. The video depicts how landscape architects plan, construct, and shape the world we live in. It also showcases the breadth of places influenced by our profession: public parks and gardens; golf courses; streetscapes and waterfronts; housing and commercial developments; schools; memorials and cemeteries; and nature preserves. In short, this effort will communicate that landscape architecture professionals are trained and ready to respond to the needs of our communities and the world. FOLIO 2011 2 WE ARE VISIONARIES—creATIVE, SUSTAINABLE, INFLUENTIAL, AND Another tremendous visibility opportunity presents itself in the coming year. The Village of ILASLA Riverside, Illinois, a community planned by the “father of landscape architecture,” Frederick Law Olmsted, will embark on a nearly year-long event to celebrate his legacy. The Chapter’s Education and External Communications Committees will work closely with the Village and the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association to publicize and participate in a variety of public events throughout the year. We encourage members to participate both during the events, and behind the scenes. Issues and opportunities that affect landscape architects, our profession, and the environment are abundant at both the state and national level. Federal and state budgets are constantly under scrutiny with attempts to cut or reduce spending. Many of these attempts attack funding for significant environmental initiatives that, ultimately, impact our profession. To challenge such impacts, we must speak out. The Advocacy Network available to us through ASLA is a phenomenal tool for our voice to be heard. This legislative communication tool gives us the opportunity to weigh-in on significant environmental issues such as the amendments P.O. BOX 4566 | OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS | 60522 that attempted to cut programs associated with the Transportation Enhancement Program. The ILASLA contingency responded quickly and in-mass which, when combined with the responses of chapters across the country, helped defeat the proposed amendment. The ability for us to promptly and effectively respond is critical to the profession, both at the state and national level. Landscape architecture can be a life-long profession. In Illinois, we are extremely fortunate to have exceptional practitioners with national and international expertise. This year, the Chapter looks to celebrate the achievements of these seasoned professionals. A number of individuals will be nominated for Fellowship in the Society in recognition of their significant contributions to the profession. We hope the Society’s Class of 2012 has a substantial Illinois flavor! While the profession relies heavily on these seasoned practitioners, we must not overlook those just entering the field. The profession, the Chapter, and the Society need these emerging professionals to survive and grow. Each of us must challenge ourselves to reach out, encourage, support, and engage these individuals as they begin their professional careers. With a focus on professional qualifications, the Chapter and the Illinois Landscape Architecture Registration Board continue to work on the rules for the Illinois Landscape Architecture License Law. The ASLA Board of Trustees has endorsed a Professional Landscape Architect (PLA) title designation. The implications of this change are being evaluated for the ramifications of this new designation on the status of our current legislation. Additionally, the continuing education unit (CEU) requirements are being refined. Please stay tuned to Chapter communications for status updates and what the changes will mean to practitioners. FOLIO 2011 INSPIRIng—AND LEADERS IN ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN AND PLANNING. 3 From events to public relations to advocacy, none of these ILASLA endeavors could be accomplished without the tremendous support of our sponsors. On behalf of the entire ILASLA landscape architecture community, I thank you for your time, enthusiasm, energies, and, most of all, financial support. As we embark on another year, the Chapter will once again need your support to sustain the momentum gained through past efforts.

  • CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan
    CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the District’s comprehensive multi-year plan for land acquisition and park development, new building construction, building and facility management, park site improvements, and technology and major equipment. The CIP outlines the projects that are expected to take place over the next five years. Capital projects typically have costs of over $10,000, have a life expectancy of at least 5 years, and may result in the creation of a capital asset. The Capital Improvement Plan is a dynamic and evolving guide for spending over a five-year period. The CIP outlines spending priorities and expected schedules and is formed to allow for adjustment over the five-year period. The CIP allows for flexibility, for instance, if actual project expenses are above (or below) a projected budget in the CIP, as new outside funding is granted for specific projects or programs, or as new district priorities develop. The CIP is published annually to reflect the growth of the Plan each year. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN IMPROVEMENT CAPITAL Capital Improvement Plan Process Throughout the year, the Park District compiles requests for capital improvements from numerous sources. External requests generally come from annual budget hearings, letters, emails, website inquiries, legislators, advisory councils, board meetings, community groups, city agencies, new laws, unfunded mandates, and other similar sources. Internal requests are typically derived from park inspections, facility assessments, the work order system, framework plans, policy initiatives, strategic objectives, and needs identified by recreation, culture, service, planning, construction, and maintenance departments. The requests are bundled into programs and sub- Capital projects range from building new or programs that reflect a shared project type.

  • May 2019 Dear Third Ward Resident
    Third Ward Newsletter May 2019 Dear Third Ward Resident, On Monday, May 20th at Wintrust Arena in the 3rd Ward, we are In This Issue inaugurating Lori Lightfoot as the new Mayor for the City of Chicago and welcoming a new City Council. This is truly a historic day for our City and I am so proud our ward is hosting Third Ward Update 2-5 such an important event.

Events in and Around the Ward 6-8 I know my priorities of increased public safety, better police Important Announcements 9-10 accountability and transparency, equitable neighborhood development, and fair educational opportunities for all children in Chicago are shared by Mayor Lightfoot. In the 3rd Ward specifically, continued housing development (at all price points), Employment & Training 11 new retail development, improved neighborhood infrastructure, increased transparency on decisions that affect the community, May CAPS/ 12 and meeting the specific educational needs of each neighborhood Third Ward Star are items I am encouraged we can address with the help of Mayor Lightfoot and the new City Council.

These are things we as Chicago residents can all be proud of. It's a new day for our City, one filled with hope for all of Chicago's neighborhoods.
