Lakefront Protection Ordinance vs Lakefront Car Tower

"Consider....This photo is looking Northeast from south of the intersection. Note the Building on the North East corner of the intersection which takes the entire block, North to Jarvis. Consider....If the Parking Tower monstrosity is allowed to be built, inspire what the community wants, the trees you see to the right in the photo will be replaced with a 50 foot + high brick wall. Consider....Then, basically from Chase North to Jarvis, the entire East side of Sheridan will consist of a massive, towering wall of bricks. Not exactly what the Rogers Park Community Council had in mind with it's "Lakefront Protection Ordinance"".
