Pace narrows down sites for future Dempster Pulse stations Launching Pulse Milwaukee line first up; Pulse Dempster service to follow BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Pace suburban bus transit agency has narrowed down the locations for station stops for its upcoming Pulse Dempster bus service. As previously reported by the Bugle, the service is part of Pace’s effort to speed up bus service along some of its busiest corridors. Pulse Dempster will follow the same path as Route 250, traveling between between O’Hare Airport, Rosemont, Des Plaines, Park Ridge, unincorporated Maine Township, Niles, Morton Grove, Skokie and Evanston. The portion of the route within this newspaper’s coverage area is located almost entirely along Dempster Street. Pulse Dempster buses will only stop at station-style stops built along major intersections and destinations. During the Sept. 12 meeting, the transit agency unveiled several potential platform locations for each stop. Now, it has narrowed it down to preferred locations. On Feb. 6 and 7, it held public workshops to get feedback on those locations. Unless that feedback persuades the agency to change the locations, they will become final. Pulse bus corridors will be known as Arterial Rapid Transit buses. Unlike Bus Rapid Transit corridors, they don’t get their own lanes, but they do get traffic signal priority under certain conditions. Furthermore, because the stationstyle stops are further apart than the current stops, which, with a few exceptions, are spaced about once every two blocks apart, the Pulse buses will stop less, further speeding up service. Pace is currently building the stations and other infrastructure for Pulse Milwaukee service, which is expected to launch later this year. The Pulse Dempter service is next on the list. As with Pulse Milwaukee, Pace plans to keep the regular route

running, but at lower frequencies. The exact schedule was not finalized as of Feb. 11. As previously reported by the Bugle, all stations will have the same basic design: a 12-inch raised platform with tramps leading up in both ends; a vertical station market with a station name and a screen showing real-time bus arrival times information; a bus shelter in the middle of the platform; and trash cans at bike racks positioned near the end of one of the platform’s ramps. There are several features that would be customizable based on the wishes of residents, government entities and other stakeholders at the station locations: bike racks, the paneling of the shelters and station railings, trash cans, and any landscaping around the station. Looking at the stations in Bugle’s coverage area, there are two stations that only had one option from the get-go – Harlem Avenue and Austin Avenue stations. At Harlem Avenue, the westbound platform would be directly in front of Kappy’s American Grill restaurant’s parking lot, while the east platform would be located directly across the street. At the Austin Avenue/Dempster Road intersection in Morton Grove, the platforms would be located roughly where the Route 250 stops are located now – the platforms would simply be longer. For Dee Road interaction, where two of the stops that serve Maine East High School are currently located, Pace decided to put the westbound platform roughly where the current Route 250 stop is located. The eastbound station would be located a little further west from the current stop at the southwest corner, east of the stop that Maine East students usually use. For the station that would serve Advocate Lutheran General Hospital and the shopping plaza on the opposite side of the street, Pace decided to put the eastbound platform at the southwest corner of Western Avenue/Dempster Street intersection – where the eastbound stop closest to the hospital’s main entrance is currently located. The westbound SEE PACE PAGE 10

VILLAGE NEWS >> NILES

Senior housing proposal details revealed Zoning panel sees Alden’s plans for Touhy Avenue site; gives feedback BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The Niles Planning and Zoning Board got its first look at Alden Foundation’s proposal for an affordable senior housing development at 7104 W. Touhy Avenue, on the site of the soon-to-be-demolished public works maintenance garage and the village rain garden, during its Feb. 5 meeting. As previously reported by the Bugle in the fall of 2017, the Village of Niles sent out a Request for Qualifications looking for someone to build an affordable, independent living senior housing development on the site. This was done in response to concerns about the short supply of affordable housing in the village. Alden Foundation responded, and on Dec. 11, 2017, the Village of Niles Board of Trustees voted unanimously to begin nego-

tiations. Since then, Alden submitted a proposal for the building. Because it would require a Planned Unit Development, It must go through the Planning and Zoning Board. During the first of several meetings that have to take place as part of the process, the commissioners got a chance to give feedback and ask questions. As Bruce Silvester, the Niles Senior Planner, explained during the meeting, the PUD application is a complex process made up of three steps. The first step was the Planning and Zoning Board doing a concept review of the original proposal and giving feedback. Using that feedback, the applicant develops a more detailed preliminary plan and brings it back to the board for a hearing. Unlike with the first step, nearby property owners are alerted ahead of time and invited to give their own feedback.

After the hearing is concluded, the board votes on whether to recommend approval and send it up to the village board for review. From there, the applicant submits a more detailed plan based on the board’s feedback, and the board votes on whether to give it a final approval. The plan submitted to the vil-

lage called for a 72-unit, five-story building with 59, one-bedroom apartments and 12, two-room apartments and one, two-bedroom apartment for the building manager. All units will be handicappedaccessible, with eight of the units specifically equipped to accommodate tenants who use wheelchairs

and two units equipped to accommodate tenants who are sight and/ or hearing impaired. The building will include a laundry room, a kitchen that can be used for parties, a community room with a big-screen TV, an exercise room, a SEE HOUSING PAGE 10

GUEST COLUMN

Chicago Defender becomes a national voice for African Americans BY THE CHICAGO DEFENDER On May 5, 1905, Robert Sengstacke Abbott founded the Chicago Defender newspaper in a small kitchen in his landlord’s apartment, with an initial investment of 25 cents and a press run of 300 copies. The Chicago Defender’s first issues were in the form of four-page, six-column handbills, filled with local news items gathered by Abbott and clippings from other newspapers. Five years later, the Chicago Defender began to attract a national audience. By the start of World War I, the Chicago Defender was the nation’s most influential Black weekly newspaper, with more than two thirds of its readership base located outside of Chicago. During World War I, the paper utilized its influence to wage a successful campaign in support of The Great Migration. It published blazing editorials, articles and cartoons lauding the benefits of the North, posted job listings and train schedules to facilitate relocation, and declared on May 15, 1917, as the date of the “Great Northern Drive.” The Chicago Defender’s support of The Great Migration encouraged Southern readers to migrate to the North in record numbers. Between 1916 and 1918, at least 110,000 people migrated to Chicago, nearly tripling the city’s Black population. Following the war, the Defender covered controversial events such as the Red Summer Riots of 1919, a series of race riots in cities across the country. The Chicago Defender campaigned for anti-lynching legislation and for integrated sports. In 1923, the Chicago

Defender introduced the Bud Billiken Page, the first newspaper section just for children. The Chicago Defender, along with the Chicago Defender Charities, is the producer and organizer of the world famous Bud Billiken Day Parade and Picnic. The parade originated in 1929 as a vehicle to showcase children. Today, the Bud Billiken Parade is the largest event of its kind. Columnists at the Defender included Walter White and Langston Hughes. The paper also published the early works by Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks. Heralding itself as the “The World’s Greatest Weekly,” the Defender spoke out against segregation of the armed forces in the early 1940s and actively challenged segregation in the South during the civil rights era. In 1940, John H. H. Sengstacke, Abbott’s nephew and heir, assumed editorial control and continued to champion for equality. In 1956, the Chicago Defender began publishing on a daily basis. In 1965, Stengstacke purchased The Pittsburgh Courier, including it in his Sengstacke Newspaper chain,

along with papers such as the Michigan Chronicle in Detroit and the TriState Defender in Memphis. Sengstacke served as publisher of the Defender until his death in May 1997. The Chicago Defender is the flagship publication of Real Times Inc., a media company that also includes among its holdings the Michigan Chronicle, the Front Page, the New Pittsburgh Courier and the Tri-State Defender. One hundred and four years later, the Chicago Defender won the prestigious John B. Russwurm Award during 2009’s National Newspaper Publishers Association Merit Awards Gala, along with two first place and two third place awards, including the John H. Sengstacke General Excellence Award. Editor’s note: The weekly Illinois Bicentennial series is brought to you by the Illinois Associated Press Media Editors and Illinois Press Association. More than 20 newspapers are creating stories about the state’s history, places and key moments in advance of the Bicentennial on Dec. 3, 2018.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What Will This Cost Us? DEAR EDITOR: On the surface, this proposal for cheaper water from Evanston sounds like a winner for MG residents. However, who will pay for the millions of dollars this project will cost? How will our water bills be effected by this

expenditure? How will these bonds for payment of expenses be paid off and when? What guarantees are there that Evanston will not raise their rates, possibly eradicating any advantage of this switch from Chicago water sources? It is interesting that the village is now ‘reaching out’ to residents after they have already signed up to spend this money. SHERWIN DUBREN MORTON GROVE

‘UNCOMMON’

HIRE

Maine East’s new coach is ready to shock the football world — again

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Success has not been something the state has associated with the Maine East football program the last 40 years. The Blue Demons last winning season was a 6-3 campaign in the 1978-79 season. Since then, East has gone 34-191 with 16 seasons with one win or less, including six winless campaigns. East has not made the playoffs since 1977-78. So, saying Maine East has a shot to make a playoff run is as likely as, say, Northern Illinois University competing in the Orange Bowl. That is exactly what Maine East Steve Schanz is hoping for. Last week, Schanz announced Bob Winkel as the program’s next head football coach. “Coach Winkel brings an extremely high level of skill and knowledge of the game along with compelling energy, high expectations and a clear vision for the future to the Maine East Football program,” Schanz said in a release. “Coach Winkel has developed a detailed action plan to build for the 2018 season - he looks forward to getting started by meeting the team, parents and other members of the Maine East community.” Winkel was a member of the 2013 NIU football team that

Bob Winkel shocked the Bowl Championship Series and earned a berth in the Discover Orange Bowl against Florida State. It is that attitude Winkel will look to bring to Maine East in hopes of turning the program around. “That will feed into it. At Northern, our saying was ‘The Hard Way’ and we always did things the hard way and worked harder than anyone else,” Winkel said. “Our new mantra at Maine East this upcoming season and for the seasons to come is ‘Be Uncommon.’ Being uncommon goes for in the community, in the classroom and on the field.

HIRE FROM PAGE 5 was at Northern, we really took those three aspects of things – the community, the classroom and on the field – extremely seriously. “I think we became better people, better students first and that was a major piece of us being so successful and making it to the Orange Bowl. That will be a huge piece for me in us becoming successful at Maine East.” Winkel takes over for Scott Smith, who coached Maine East to a 3-33 record over the past four seasons. Winkel becomes the fourth head coach in the last 10 years. He comes from East Aurora where he served as defensive coordinator the past two seasons under Kurt Becker – his former head coach at Marmion Acad-

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2018 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM emy. “Kurt Becker, who was my coach when I was in high school and he was nice enough to bring me on his staff when I was doing my student teaching there,” Winkel said. “Then, I was the linebackers coach there for two years and special teams coordinator and JV head coach. Then, after two years, our defensive coordinator got the head job at Burlington Central and I was promoted to defensive coordinator and was defensive coordinator the past two years.” At 26 years old, Winkel is one of the youngest head coaches in the state. “It is exciting. Being a young head coach, and I know there are not too many of us in the state, speaks to coach Becker at East Aurora – he really molded all of us

coaches to become head coaches – and that speaks about him as a coach,” Winkel said. “Maine East is a huge district and I saw that the population is very diverse like East Aurora. Being at Northern Illinois was the same way in terms of football and it is great for me to be able to work with that population. I think sometimes it is easier to step into a situation where the program is winning and a foundation is there. Seeing that they are a program that has been struggling and coming in, this is a program that I have to build from the ground up and build a culture and mold things into the way I want things to go.” Winkel is the second member of the 2013 NIU team to get a head high school job in Illinois this offseason, as former Huskie

quarterback Jordan Lynch, who was hired to replace Frank Lenti at Mt. Carmel. “Us becoming coaches speaks to the coaches we had in high school and our college coaches. Between coach (Jerry) Kill coming recruiting us and teaching us the hard way and coach (Dave) Doeren coming in and setting the bar high,” Winkel said. “I think we learned a lot about being a coach while we were playing. We learned what the right things to do as a coach and what the wrong things were.” His ties to his background will carry over to Maine East as he will bring in former Romeoville and Northern Illinois University running back Cam Stingily as an offensive coach as well as Andy Windisch, his former offensive coordinator at Marmion Acad-

emy as a quality control coach. Winkel will look to turn around the Blue Demons and he will look to do so by following another NIU alum and coach and current head coach at the University of Minnesota – PJ Fleck. “He was the one that recruited me and convinced me to go to Northern and I would have run through a wall for him,” Winkel said. “I never want to compare myself to coach Fleck, but I use him as an idol and he is an icon because he brings such passion and energy to the game and I try and do that every day and bring it out in my players. (Fleck) is a winner because of the type of energy he brings to the field every day. I think young coaches should emulate that even more because that will help your team be successful.”

She has finally started to change her ways and get control of her finances, because she and her fiancé want to make an offer on a house. The bank won’t approve it if she is on the loan, and his income alone isn’t enough to get the amount they need. His parents are well-off, and they have offered to co-sign on the loan.

Those two have no business thinking about a house right now, and his parents are about to make things even worse with their loving, misguided help.

SENIORS

NEWS ABOUT ACTIVE SENIORS IN THE COMMUNITY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2018 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM HOUSING FROM PAGE 3 game room, a library and a computer lab. The building is restricted to seniors age 62 and older. Three units would be open to all seniors, while the rest will be restricted to seniors whose income falls within $16,000 - $35,000. The rents range between $338-$975 a month for one-bedrooms and $743-$1,100 a month for two-bedrooms. The exact rent will depend on income, but, in all cases, heat and electricity wouldn’t be included. As Alden staff explained during the meeting, the relatively narrow size of the combined lot and that fact that the project can’t disturb the water reservoir behind it means that the building must be relatively close to the street and there isn’t a lot of room for parking. As the result, they ask for several variances – most notably, they asked to be allowed to only have 70 parking spots. As the staff noted, the building is within walking distance of Pace bus Route 290, which serves Touhy Avenue, Route 270, which serves the nearby Milwaukee Avenue, and Niles Free Bus Route 411, which serves most of the village west of Milwaukee Avenue, the Leaning Tower YMCA and the Village Crossing shopping plaza. As the discussion got underway, some commissioners wondered whether there was actually a demand for affordable senior housing in Niles. Planning and Zoning Board chair Thomas Kanelos wondered what kind of market research the Alden Foundation has done to show that there was a need. Elizabeth Demes, the Foundation’s Executive Director, responded that they looked at existing facilities and the income levels in the village and the area. “Forty-four percent of your households would qualify for this housing,” she said. Kanelos was still skeptical. “If we’re trying to determine benefits to Niles, we need to know how many units are going to be unused,” he said. “How many taxpaying seniors would leave their house and move in?” Demes responded that when they built a similar project in southwest suburban Woodridge the waiting list was already full by the time construction got underway, and all of the seniors on the waiting list were from Woodridge. PACE FROM PAGE 2 platform would be directly across the street, at the northwest corner. For the Cumberland Avenue/Dempster Street intersection, Pace only had one option for the westbound platform location - between the two driveways leading into the Citibank building. For the westbound, Pace considered either the southwest corner, where the current stop is located, of the southeast corner, where the Maryhill Cemetery begins. The transit agency decided to go with the former. The Dempster/Milwaukee intersection was one of the more complicated intersections. Route 250 currently has stops on all four sides; but for Pulse, Pace was only going to have two platforms – the only question was which side would be chosen. It wound up putting the westbound platform at the northeastern corner and the eastbound platform at the southwestern corner. Current plans call for a walkway between the eastbound stop and the Pulse Milwaukee southbound station to be built nearby. At Waukegan Road/Dempster Road intersection, Pace only considered one location for the eastbound platform – on the southeast side of the intersection, at the Bank of America parking lot. With the west-

While there is no way to restrict the building to Niles residents without violating state and federal anti-discrimination laws, Randi Schlossberg-Schullo, president of Alden Management Services said that there was a way the village could make it earlier for Niles residents to get in. “Our [advise to you] is to do what we do in Woodridge,” she said. “You start your own waitlists, you feed us all the residents.” Niles, Schlossberg-Schullo said, can advertise the waitlist on its village newsletter. Commissioner Susan DeBartolo said that, from personal experience, she saw a need for this kind of project. “I absolutely love this building,” she said. “My grandmother was in building such as this in Decatur. She was on a fixed income.” DeBartolo and Commissioner Barbara Nakanishi wondered if Alden could put some landscaping in the parking lot or, at the very least, to put some barrier between the parking lot and the sidewalk. The staff responded that the barriers were “unsightly” and there was simply no room for any landscaping. Commissioner Morgan Dubiel, a former Bugle columnist, wondered if the foundation could put the parking garage under the apartments. “You’re taking away the rain garden, you’re asking for a lot of landscaping allowances,” he said. “And we have to prove to our Niles residents that this is [good] thing for them.” Architect Robert Kim responded that, given the building’s footprint and the fact that, unlike with the surface parking lot, they would need to put in columns to support the floors above, there would simply be no room to put in 70 parking spaces. Kim also noted that, when it came to building design, he and the other architects took cues from the Niles South Milwaukee Corridor Plan. Kanelos said that, while he would ideally prefer more parking and landsaping, he could see where the foundation was coming from. “Clearly, you have a lot of pride [in the project],” he said. “I’m sure you’d put in more landscaping if you could.”

bound platform, it considered putting it either west or east of the driveway into the Prairie View Community Center. The transit agency chose the former. As previously reported by the Bugle, Pace considered something that would spell a major change for riders using the Dempster-Skokie Yellow Line ‘L’ station. All of the Pace and CTA buses that serve it currently pull into the Park-and-Ride, creating a convenient connections to the ‘L’ trains and the buses. But as Ryan Ruehte, a Pace Rapid Transit Corridor Planner, previously told the Bugle, the issue that pulling in and back out added extra 6-7 minutes to the trip. That is why Pace considered putting the platforms on Dempster Street. The transit agency would up recommending that option, putting the eastbound platform between where the ‘L’ track dead-ends and the bike path, while putting the westbound platform across the street from the Park-n-Ride entrance. For the eastbound riders, the bike path would still provide a convenient connection to the trains, and the buses are within walking distance. However, westbound riders would be required to cross Dempster Street. Pace still needs to consider environmental impact and engineering issues before fully finalizing the platform locations. The transit agency is expecting to wrap that up before the end of this year.
