Hyde Park redevelopment review blocked by procedural ruling
A neighborhood association in South West Hyde Park loses a bid for Administrative Review after Judge Roberts rules their December 30 complaint failed to meet the Administrative Review Act requirements. An amended February filing sought review but missed the 35 day limit, so the injunction request was not revived. The case now awaits any equitable relief possibility as the dispute over tearing down four blocks for student housing proceeds.
