Miss Blankner seeks three judge federal panel over urban renewal
Frederika Blankner, in a reply to Chicago objections, seeks a three judge federal court to rule on the constitutionality of the Illinois Urban Renewal Consolidation Act. She contests the 1968 condemnation of her 6043 Woodlawn building and cites alleged due process violations and improper blight findings by city agencies. The case highlights prior appeals to the Illinois Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court, with new federal suit and rehearing requests pending.
