SELVN is continuing to work on creation of a landmark district.  With the same goal of preserving the character of the neighborhood, we are seeking further down-zoning to R-4 of various residential streets.  SELVN's policy of insisting on a rebuilt limestone step revetment with water access in the stretch of lakefront north of Fullerton is shared by BHN, LVCC and other groups.  The issue is not yet settled since the Park District has not built the demonstration model which the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency requires before clearing any further construction.  Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.'s bill with-holding federal money for anything other than a limestone revetment may yet receive support from Senator Obama and become federal law.

 
Join SELVN President York Chan at 7PM at Wellington Avenue Church Sanctuary Area.  Please enter through the main doors of the church.
