Jackson Park

Jackson Park has historical significance to Chicago. 

Air Quality

Jackson Park is an important resource for carbon offsetting and other tree canopy benefits.

Politics

Using public land for private enterprise is a bad precedent in a demographic society.

Public Health

The rate of asthma in Chicago's children surpasses state and national levels. We need Jackson Park's trees to contribute to Chicago's air quality.

South Shore Gentrification

Destroying main transportation arteries historically alters neighborhood balance. Have the impacts of the planned closing of Cornell Drive been evaluated and discussed with South Shore residents' futures in mind?

Finding a site for the OPC that benefits the Southside

There is another, better site for Jackson Park: adjacent to Washington Park.
