Belmont Harbor Neighbors (BHN)
Belmont Harbor Neighbors (BHN) is the branch of the Lake View Citizens' Council whose boundaries run from Addison Street to Belmont Avenue, and from Lake Michigan to Halsted Street. BHN provides a public forum for issues that affect the quality of life in the BHN area. Some of these issues include zoning, review of proposed developments, neighborhood protection for Cubs games, crime, outdoor café permits and the Bird Sanctuary and Harbor in Lincoln Park.
Belmont Harbor Neighbors had a very active year. Several of our board members
were very active participants on the 44th Ward Community Directed Development
Council. Belmont Harbor Neighbors also hosted Alderman Shiller for a very
informative question and answer session. We also put in place specific
guidelines and checklists for developers to follow who wish to get Belmont
Harbor Neighbors' support for their projects. Finally, we finished the year
with a record number of people on our e-mail distribution list and are in the
process of releasing a new version of the Belmont Harbor Neighbors web site.
Last year BHN Directors Ron Baker and Diane Kuta surveyed the entire BHN
area in the 44th Ward and made recommendations for zoning changes. After much
study, we voted to back a new zoning map developed by Alderman Tunney for the
areas between Belmont, Roscoe, Broadway and Halsted. We actively backed
the re-construction of the children's play lot at Roscoe and Lake Shore Drive.
With the increase in the number of Cubs night games, neighborhood protections were strengthened through community participation in the decision-making process. Outdoor café permits were reviewed for problems. The Chicago Transit Authority presented their plans to improve public transportation. In November, we held our annual food drive for the Lake View Pantry at Treasure Island.
