Protest urged as McCormick Place expansion faces hearing
Hyde Park residents and many groups mobilize against the Chicago Plan Commission hearings on the Metropolitan Fair and Exposition Authority expansion of McCormick Place. Activists cite financial concerns, public land use, traffic hazards, and lakefront blight and urge deferment until a comprehensive lakefront plan is completed. A public hearing is set for Thursday at 2 p.m. in City Hall room 913 with residents urged to attend and protest.
