If I recall correctly Uncle Phil's suit was settled, which cleared
up a rat's nest of title issues.
Thereafter a plan was made by the City to redevelop Springwood.
People hated it. They complained that the community was not
involved, particulary people on and around Springwood.
So the City did what I thought was a great job responding to the
people.
The City got rid of their own plans. To heed to the wishes of those
who wanted community involvement, they advertised a series of events
held on Springwood for the community to come out and tell them
exactly what they wanted on Springwood. Many, many different ideas
were recorded at those events.
Anyone at those meetings was encouraged to be part of the Springwood
Avenue Advisory Committee, so that the community itself would be
devising the plan.
>From there the committee was formed. It has been meeting for
several months now. We are debating the issues, inviting experts to
guide us and will at the end make a recommendation to the City
Council as to how to best redevelop Springwood Avenue (and yes we
are interfacing with Neptune to tie into their redevelopment).
The City will then have a formal redevelopment plan drafted, based
upon the Committee's recommendations.
Certainly I intend to heed the wishes of those I've read here to
make the case for competitive bidding for development of the plan.
Nation-wide advertising is what I will try to convince the board
should be the policy.
I like the process because as you can see it has been from the grass
roots up. The committee is dominated by West Side people or people
with West Side roots.
It is in the stage where we are deciding what to recommend to the
council, which is why I'm reaching out to this board for your
comments, which I obviously intend to take quite seriously, and use
your thoughts at the meetings.
Keep them coming.
Thanks.
