South West Hyde Park plan seeks 60 percent consent
A Chicago redevelopment push in Hyde Park seeks 60 percent owner consent to proceed with a two phase plan by the Redevelopment Corporation. The proposal targets an acquisition area from 55th to 56th streets and Cottage Grove to Ellis, with demolitions and housing for University of Chicago married students, plus zoning enforcement in a broader southwest area. University needs housing and opponents cite deterioration, while officials defend the plan as preventing blight with outside appraisers and eminent domain only after failed negotiations.
