Filtration Project Advances With Breakwater Work

The project extends the beach from 79th street outward to about 2,200 feet, with huge stones forming the breakwater sides weighing seven to twenty tons. Stone placement proceeds along defined lines, while rough lake weather makes work hazardous and slows crane operations. Financing includes a $5,415,750 PWA grant and $6.6 million in city funds for substructures, with above ground facilities costing around $10 million to be financed by the city or a later PWA grant.

Planning Statute Proposes Neighborhood Based City Planning

A model planning statute urges defining neighborhoods as the unit of city planning to curb sprawling public services costs. It would allow 60 percent private landowners in a designated neighborhood to propose development and zoning plans, reviewed by the city plan commission within 90 days, with public hearings and legal status once adopted. Neighborhood associations would organize with 25 percent landowner backing, elect trustees, secretary, and treasurer. A property owner can seek court stay on district plans within a year of publication.
