Coalition wants a new map for Chicago’s elected school board districts that better represents the rich diversity of Chicago Public Schools
Lonette Sims, chair of People’s Response Network, announced Thursday that the group had drafted an ordinance calling for greater funding for community-based public health programs.
In the 43rd, 46th and 48th wards, outside money is playing a role as candidates differ while vying for the three City Council seats.
They want the city to deny permits for the project and instead provide more affordable housing for the area or expand the hospital.
The lot at the corner of Wilson Avenue and Marine Drive was formerly owned by Weiss Memorial Hospital. It was subsequently sold and is now owned by Lincoln Property Company, which aims to build a 314-unit apartment building on the site. But just eight of those units will qualify as affordable.
