This morning, Comed roped off a portion of area that has been boarded up for the past week or so, that is in the new “Lakeshore East” (or whatever they will call it) park. The park will be turned over to the Chicago Park District for maintanence in the coming years, not sure yet changes that may entail for park users.

At the last NEAR meeting Natarus ranted/talked for a while about dogs on leashes and picking up after them. I hope the dogs on leashes idea never gets enforced in the new park, I love to see 5 to 8 tiny dogs running around in circles and my daughter playing with them in the open field.

The larger or problematic dogs (or just dogs with cautious owners) can go to the fenced in area. :-P
