We collected nearly 20 interesting news stories in the last 7 days to include in this weekly roundup, including in-depth articles that weren’t on traditional news sites, background on Chicago’s Transit TIF law, and a review of buildings demolished in 2016.
This list includes just half of those articles. We’ll start with a group of two NIMBY stories wherein residents rejected housing proposals:
- 41st Ward Alderman Anthony Napolitano and Democratic Committeeman Tim Heneghan agree that “No matter how it was designed, a four-story housing complex just wouldn’t fly in Edison Park” (DNAinfo) — we listed what the developer of the property could build without permission
- A group of residents in Wicker Park informally voted to reject a zoning change in order for a developer to build a 4-story six flat of condos on the block of Winchester Ave. north of North Ave. that only allows single unit houses despite there being many multi-unit buildings. (DNAinfo)
