A Last Word
|
Dear Neighbors,
This week I wanted to spend a little time talking about the neighborhood instead of about the Farmers Market.
You know that the Market is a project of the Chamber of Commerce, and last Thursday was the Chamber's Annual Lunch. We had it at the Radler on Milwaukee Avenue (the same Radler whose menu you can sample at their Market stall any Sunday), and the topic of the day was Logan Square in 2018, the Bicentennial Year of Illinois Statehood.
There were 80 or so people at the Lunch, including Aldermen Moreno, Santiago, Waguespack, Mell and Rosa, each of whom represents a part of Logan Square. I was fortunate enough to be able to present the group with the six points of the Chamber's Vision For Our Neighborhood in 2018. Now, here they are for you, as well.
We think that for 2018 we need to try our best to see that:
1. The physical infrastructure of the neighborhood--streets, buildings, public facilities and utilities--is refurbished and upgraded for another century of use.
2. More residents move in to the neighborhood to make up for the 10,000+ drop in our population since 2000. More residents mean more customers and opportunities for existing and new businesses, particularly retail stores and services, to grow and prosper.
3. Our schools, public and private, continue to improve, so that families with children are attracted to and then stay in Logan Square because quality education is available close to home.
4. The number of jobs available in the neighborhood grows, by expanding existing and introducing new employers, both large and small.
5. Logan Square continues to be a safe neighborhood, particularly with its public spaces and places perceived as such.
6. The institutions, enterprises and facilities that contribute to a good quality of life, such as libraries, churches, parks, community centers, art, music and cultural venues remain widely and easily accessible to residents.
At the Lunch, we all spent an hour or so exchanging comments and generally agreeing with the Vision. You are getting this message because you're involved with the Farmers Market, which (I think) is a significant contributor to the good quality of life in Logan Square, and so I'm curious to hear about
your vision for our neighborhood. Let me know, please. I'm pretty easy to reach, and if nothing else, likely...
I'll see you at the Market!
