Hyde Park businessmen express concern over 55th street redevelopment plans. They fear displacement, seek relocation priority within the new center, and worry about losses from moving, fixtures, and lost customer contacts as the project moves forward.
Granting the necessity to locate a shopping facility within the vicinity of 55th Street and Lake Park Avenue, the site recommended presented the only feasible location. It is accessible from all directions with future expansion potential and the most flexible layout while preserving a residential atmosphere.
The proposal outlines a city and community driven plan to halt decay outward from the center, coordinate Southeast Area redevelopment with the greater south side, and create a project that supports a stable, integrated, and humane urban renewal. It emphasizes selective funding, minimal relocation, and resident sponsorship.
The plan retains ten existing structures in the Corner 54th Street and Kenwood area while converting two sites at 5500 Lake Park and 5545 55 Harper into indoor garages. One building will house 250 cars after acquisition and updates. another will add 200 spaces as part of the elevator apartment complex.
