A Call to Arms in support of the Manor Greenway project!

Major opposition to this project is building from residents of the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood.  An on-line petition has been started (it only has 25 signatures so far).  

A major breach in the path along the Chicago River is between Lawrence Avenue and Montrose Avenue, between Ronan Park on the north and Horner Park on the south.  Many years ago this land along the river was ceded to private homeowners by the Water Reclamation District, then know at then known as the Sanitary District.  One of the efforts to fill the missing links has been this project.  

Several month ago a meeting was held.  Another meeting is scheduled on Thursday, September 22nd, at 6:30 PM at the Horner Park field house on the south east corner of Montrose and California.

A large turnout from the bicycle community would be very helpful to show support for the Chicago Department of Transportation which is proposing this project.  It's supported by the 33rd Ward as well.  But a large turnout of opposition is expected, larger than attended the first meeting.  So a larger turnout of supporters, quietly indicating the support and need for this greenway access between the two parks and street is needed.

Mark this on your calendars with the date and time.  Please make every effort to attend.
