Chicago Park District, Grant Park Advisory Council , Grant Park Conservancy public meeting : North Grant Park Renovation Plans.
Wednesday, November 17, 2010 - 6:30 p.m. at Columbia College Chicago, Stage Two Center, 618 S Michigan Avenue , 2nd Floor.

Columbia College Chicago has graciously agreed to host us! Come out and review the concept plans for the North Grant Park Renovation Project. The landscape architecture firm, MVVA, will present plans and gather input. We have worked with them and the Chicago Park District on what are very exciting plans. A large-scale model and images will be presented. This plan was created after the Chicago Park District and GPC/GPAC organized a large public input meeting attended by over 200 people as well as input taken via the internet and several other public meetings.

We need your input to further refine the plans. They include many very interesting and innovative concepts with all-season design andactivities as well as other creative outdoor spaces connecting Millennium Park to the Lake. The plans are very green.
Thank you for your participation!

NEAR gave the park district and the architect until today to advise of any changes made to their September 16th plan. They provided no updates, so we can assume that no changes were made. The park district may be planning to ignore their 50-year Agreement and attempt to relocate the Cancer Survivors Plaza. It will be inconvenient, however it is important for you to plan to attend the November 17th meeting at Columbia at 618 S. Michigan. Before the meeting, please carefully review the architect's initial plan presented to the park district on September 16th MPtoNavyPier5

Thank you, Richard
