STOP THE LANDFILL

ANY landfill of Lake MI done to satisfy the desires of the FOTP would ultimately change many Chicago tax payers' proximity and relationship to the lake shore, impact their property taxes negatively, and affect the lake's fragile ecosystem.

These seven segments of video give you a tour of Osterman Beach (Hollywood Beach), George Lane Park (Thorndale Beach), the start of the beach Bike Path and illustrate some important aspects of the FOTP's landfill idea.

 

This segment of video shows the boat launch ramp near Montrose harbor, the currently LOW water level and the massive structures that would be needed to secure any landfill project on our lakeshore. 

 

This segment of video shows what poor condition Lake Shore Drive is in and where some of our tax dollars really should go. 


These three segments of video give you a tour of the new park on Sheridan Road at the Southwest corner Thorndale and Sheridan, Berger Park and the new park in the process of development in the 6100 block of Sheridan.

These two segments of video show you the crumbling Red Line Elevated train bridge infrastructure in Edgewater.  There are MANY other aspects of Edgewater's infrastructure that are in disrepair but these videos will give you just ONE very good idea about how tax spending should be prioritized.
