Protest Overnight Parking Charges in Lakefront Lots
Posted: 6/9/2009
Dear Neighbor,
Three weeks ago, I informed you of a Chicago Park District proposal to charge for overnight parking at the Loyola Park and Leone Park parking lots at the rate of 25 cents an hour, which would result in a cost to neighborhood residents of over $100.00 a month to park overnight in an uncovered PUBLICLY OWNED parking lot. I expressed strong opposition to the plan and scores of 49th Ward residents sent letters and e-mails of protest to Park District officials.
Unfortunately, the Park District has not backed off on their plan. It's time to take our opposition to the entire Park District Board.
Please join me TOMORROW, Wednesday, June 10th, 4:00 p.m., at the next meeting of the Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners where we will call upon the Park District Board to rescind this outrageous plan. The meeting will be held at Park District Headquarters, 541 N. Fairbanks, 8th floor. Please try to arrive early.
