Hyde Park NAACP and CIO Press Revisions to Urban Renewal Plan
Hyde Park NAACP and CIO Union Council urge city officials to slow the Hyde Park Kenwood Urban Renewal Plan and adopt a four point program. They seek more housing, middle income options, and open occupancy to prevent relocation harms and reduce segregation. The plan, they say, must address housing shortages and prevent blighted site use. The City Council hearings are slated for the coming weeks.

An emergency Hyde Park High PTA meeting demanded redraw of the northern boundary to 47th street and shifting the southern line to 73rd street. It urged transferring Scott Elementary pupils from Hyde Park High to area grade schools and keeping high school space for secondary grades, while noting transportation and capacity concerns. Dr. Milton Cohler discussed possible two extra elementary rooms, but board officials cite space use and longer travel as drawbacks.
