Re-imagining North Avenue Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning released draft plan for busy corridor’s revitalization May 9 By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) has officially released the draft of the new North Avenue Corridor Revitalization and Mobility Plan. The plan includes strategies to revitalize the portion of North Avenue, between Austin Boulevard and Harlem Avenue, on both the Oak Park and Galewood sides of the corridor. Last year, the North Avenue District, Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) and the village of Oak Park, successfully applied for CMAP’s Local Technical Assistance Program. The program helps municipalities and nonprofits develop plans to improve transportation, land use and quality of life. Since then, the agency has been working with other entities, including the Urban Land Institute, which bills itself as “membership-based, multidisciplinary real estate forum that offers communities strategic advice from development experts,” to figure out the particulars. The draft plan was released to the public on May 9, during an open house held at Galewood Trinity Church, 1701 N. Narragansett Ave. It was posted online the following day. The agency is expected to use the feedback to create the final versions of the plan, which will need to be approved by the three partner organizations. The draft plan was largely developed during a technical assistance panel conducted by ULI Chicago that took place in December 2018. The panel took input from the three organizations and two municipalities. It found five major issues in the area of study, including speeding along North Avenue that makes the street unsafe for cars and pedestrians. The plan also singled out the “unattractive,

Key moments from Mayor Lightfoot’s inaugural address The new mayor’s May 20 speech outlined promises, vision
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
In an inaugural speech spiced with references to the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks and church hymns, along with
a nod to the “great, late” Chicago mayor Harold Washington, new Mayor Lori Lightfoot — the first African American female openly gay mayor in the city’s history — outlined her vision for the nation’s third-largest city.
We read the transcript of Lightfoot’s May 20 address, delivered at Wintrust Arena, and selected some of the most specific promises. Read the most important parts of her speech below:

Another candidate has announced her run for the Illinois 7th Congressional District seat. Gun violence prevention advocate Kina Collins filed the paperwork establishing her candidacy on May 13, her campaign announced. According to the statement her campaign released, Collins, a native of Chicago’s Austin community, co-authored legislation signed into law in 2018 that established the Illinois Council on Women and Girls — a body that advises the governor on gender policies in Illinois. Some of the goals of the council include helping to end the gender pay gap, bolstering legal protections against workplace sexual harassment, and confronting domestic violence, among others. Currently, Collins is a national organizer with Physicians for a National Health Program — a 20,000-member organization comprising medical doctors, medical students and other health care professionals who support universal, single-payer health insurance. She’s also a leader with Generation Progress — a progressive research and advocacy group created by the Center for American Progress, a liberal public policy think tank — and the founder of the Chicago Neighborhood Alliance. In her role with Generation Progress, Collins worked to launch the Beyond the Gun Campaign, a national violence prevention initiative. In her statement, she said the 7th Congressional District, “the most diverse” in the state, has “some of the greatest disparities in the country. The residents of our district deserve a fighter. We deserve full access to quality health care, neighborhoods and school zones free of gun violence, and reforms to a criminal justice system that disproportionately targets the lives of men and women of color.”
On her campaign website, Collins advocates for the implementation of a singlepayer Medicare for All health care system, supports safe and legal abortions, calls for the defunding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and supports a $15 federal minimum wage. Collins’ campaign noted that a full policy platform will be available on the website in the fall. In February 2018, Collins quit her position with the campaign of then-candidate for governor, J.B. Pritzker, over racially insensitive comments he made about black politicians, namely Secretary of State Jesse White and former Senate President Emil Jones, during a leaked phone conversation with then-governor Rod Blagojevich. “The 26-year-old Austin resident joined Pritzker’s campaign last November as a West Side organizer,” according to an ABC 7 report published at the time. “But when she heard the tapes from 2009 where Pritzker and Rod Blagojevich were talking about possible candidates to fill Barack Obama’s Senate seat and Pritzker called Jesse White the ‘least offensive’ black candidate and Emil Jones too ‘crass,’ Collins quit the Pritzker campaign.” “It was the thought of having to come back to my community and defend those comments which I couldn’t reconcile with, and so because of that I had to draw a line in the sand and leave the campaign,” Collins told reporters. Collins is at least the second candidate under 40 to publicly announce a bid to succeed the powerful Danny K. Davis, the 7th District’s longtime incumbent. Oak Park teacher and activist Anthony Clark announced last month that he would make a second bid for the office. Davis beat Clark, 74-26 percent, in the Democratic Primary election on March 20, 2018. Davis has so far not publicly unannounced his intentions. The next Democratic Party primaries are in 2020. CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com

Austin’s ‘storytelling space’ officially opens Grand opening for Catalyst Circle Rock’s Kehrein Center held May 22 By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter
The grand opening of the newly renovated Kehrein Center for the Arts auditorium, at 5618 W. Washington Blvd., was billed a new milestone not just for the Catalyst Circle Rock K-8 charter school that its housed inside of, but also for Austin as a whole. Officials who spoke during the auditorium’s grand opening on May 22 described the brand new facility as space where black writers and performers could share their work with the community. But making the space a reality hasn’t been easy and is not totally complete. According to Catalyst schools network CEO Gordon Hannon, it would take another $1.1 million to renovate the basement to create meeting areas and rehearsal spaces, make a few minor touch-ups and pay off the debt the school took on to finance construction. The auditorium was originally built for Siena High School, which closed in 1970. The building was then re-opened as the San Miguel School around 1995 before closing in SUADIA DAVIS 2012. When Catalyst Artistic director Schools opened the Circle Rock campus later that year, the auditorium was relegated to storage. But in 2015, the school set out to renovate the neglected auditorium space. As Austin Weekly News previously reported, Circle Rock officials found that the basic structure was sound, and restoring it would be cheaper than building something from scratch. In 2018, the project received $1 million grant from the City of Chicago Neighborhood Opportunity Fund to help cover estimated $2.5 million in renovation costs. Catalyst officials put the overall building renovation costs at $4.5 million, so far. While residents got a peak at the auditorium during the Open House Chicago event last October and the March 28 mayoral runoff debate, Wednesday’s ceremony marked the official grand opening. Suadia Davis, the art center’s artistic director who served as the event’s host, described the grand opening as important milestone. “The dream of bringing the space to life
“The dream of bringing the space to life has been a dream of many.”

Welcoming space from page 4 has been a dream of many,” she said. “A lot of people put their hands on this project, they put their hearts on this project and they put their dollars on this project, because they believe in this community.” The art center was named after husband and wife Glen and Lonni Kehrein, the cofounders of Circle Urban Ministries. Mr. Kehrein has passed away, but his widow was on hand for the opening. She described the auditorium as “marvelous.” “It’s been many years in the making, so we thank you for what you did to participate in the creation of this beautiful auditorium,” Lonni said. “Praise be to God.” The auditorium itself was named after Sistema Ravinia, a Ravinia Festival music education program that was originally launched in collaboration with Circle Rock school and has since expanded to public schools throughout Cook and Lake Counties. Welz Kauffman, Ravinia’s president and CEO, said he was “humbled and awed to be in this beautiful space,” adding that he was
proud to be a part of something that would serve the community. “We always see ourselves as more than entertainers,” he said. “We are an element of society, we are an element of social justice and impact.” Hannon said that the auditorium would be home to the school’s orchestra, which was launched as part of the original Sistema Ravinia, as well as a worship hall for Circle Urban Ministries and a community performance space. One question that has often come up, Davis said, was what the art center would be used for and, after consulting with the community and looking at the Chicago theater scene, they felt that there was one niche that hasn’t been filled. “This is going to be a storytelling theater, telling stories through music, through drama, through dance,” Davis said. “And in giving it a storytelling theme, we wanted to encourage the community, the neighbors in Austin, to utilize this space and give their voices to the stories.” Davis said that, while they wanted to start programming community events as soon as possible, it would take “six to eight months before we can start scheduling performances, because that takes funds.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

To lead the citywide response, we are creating a Mayor’s Office of Public Safety, to be led by a Deputy Mayor. That office will be charged with developing and implementing a comprehensive violenceprevention strategy that will connect efforts across city government, other aspects of the public sector, and nonprofit, philanthropic, education, recreation, business and faith communities. It will seek to mobilize the entire city behind a unified strategy to prevent violence and promote public safety. The devastation of violence is far and wide which is why we will also reach out and support the growing community of victims and witnesses. We must recognize the importance of providing a transition for our returning citizens. And we will accelerate the development of a trauma-informed city starting with repairing our broken mental health safety net.

OUT SWINGING: Mayor Lori Lightfoot outlined a bold vision in her inaugural address on May 20. our neighborhoods, reduce our property taxes and revitalize our transportation system. My team has already been the necessary work of measuring the size and depth of our fiscal challenges, as well as working on a range of possible solutions. Once that analysis is complete, we will lay out a plan to put Chicago on the path to solvency.
Housing We need to cut the red tape and obstacles and instead promote the building of new units and have flexibility in our building code so that innovative housing forms can come on line. We must also have a plan for expanding home ownership and converting vacant lots and abandoned buildings into new vibrant communities. Growth of housing that is affordable, all over this city, will be the charge of the new housing department under new leadership.
Corruption and reform I campaigned on change, you voted for change, and I plan to deliver change to our government. No official in the City of Chicago …elected or appointed… should ever profit from his or her office. Never. Ever. This requirement that people must give more to get access to basic city services must end. And it will end, starting today. Later this afternoon, I will sign an executive order to end the worst abuses of so-called Aldermanic privilege.
Her larger vision As I reflect on this day and what lies ahead, it means that we must not forget or ignore the plight of so many for whom joy often does not come in the morning. Whether it is the homeless, people living with mental illness, those desperate for love and recognition, we will not pass them by. As we pursue our new stars, this will be our guiding light.

What should reparations consist of?
attended a Facebook friend’s presentation on reparations. As the average black person knows, we never got our 40 acres and a mule after slavery ended in 1865. The 100 years of Jim Crow laws that followed slavery were designed to keep us in an enslaved mindset. During the 55 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the criminal justice system has turned into our latest nightmare and a continuation of enslavement. Many of the horrors of slavery have been internalized by black people, so that those designed behaviors have become institutionalized by us, as well. Those behaviors are being passed down from one generation to the next. Self-hatred, group hatred, distrust and a preference for individual achievements over group success are some of the core behaviors As I sat listening to the presentation and watching the videos regarding slavery, even I, a seasoned and knowledgeable student of black history, couldn’t take it. I felt the pain my ancestors suffered. My emotions overwhelmed me as I envisioned the 360-degree debacle that was slavery. It was brainwashing. It was mind control. It was institutionalized into acceptance and normality by both the slave master and the slave. Every descendant of an enslaved African needs to begin to think of what reparations should consist of, because once reparations is paid — no matter the form of payment — our ability to bemoan to the masses regarding our former enslavement becomes null. It is the ultimate “we’re even”
moment. I have always advocated that my vision for reparations is to cease paying taxes into this system. Property taxes, income taxes, taxes on food, taxes on license plates, city stickers, you name it. All the money that this government takes away from me, I need to be able to keep. That is my individual vision for reparations. As a group, we need criminal justice reform. The abuse of the criminal justice system against black people has been systematic and successful. Prison populations that were once predominantly white are now predominantly black. Some of it is our fault, but a lot of it has to do with too many black people going down the very path of destruction that was designed specifically for us to take. If you have access to Netflix, watch “Time: The Kalief Browder Story.” Kalief was a 16-year-old child who was walking home from a party with a friend. The police pulled up and Kalief and his friend were accused of having stolen someone’s book bag. Khalif was arrested and ended up spending more than three years in solitary confinement at Rikers Island. For me it was an eye-opening account of just how the criminal justice system can break a person. Kalief ’s mental anguish and pain following his release from jail run parallel to how a lot of black people came out of slavery. Reparations is the right step in the healing process. The question remains what the treatment will be.

NORTH AVENUE Work in progress from page 1 unfriendly streetscape” that deters drivers from stopping to patronize local businesses; too many vacant and underutilized buildings; and the lack of a unified vision between Chicago and Oak Park. Many traffic and parking recommendations mirror ideas from the North Avenue traffic study that the Chicago Department of Transportation is currently conducting. That includes adding pedestrian refuge islands and medians at busier intersections, installing curb bump-outs, removing the “slip lane” at North/Austin intersection and sprucing up streetscape designs. The ULI plan also suggests adding parking along side streets, working with owners of vacant parking lots to provide off-street parking, and encouraging businesses to share parking spots. As part of the efforts to make the corridor more inviting, the plan calls for turning a small section of Kenilworth Avenue into a “flex space” that can be used to hold events. The plan also calls for figuring out if the former U.S Bank plaza at the southwest corner of North Avenue and Austin Boulevard can be turned into a space for “arts-related programming,” which would complement the planned Melvina Masterminds commu-

In addition, the plan lays out the guidelines for what kind of development should be encouraged on both sides of North Avenue. In terms of residential development, the plan recommends multi-family buildings that may either be for sale or rent. As the plan acknowledged, there has been some pushback from the community regarding multi-family rental developments, but it also argues that many claims made by opponents of those developments—such as that rental buildings wouldn’t be well-maintained and would be filled with people who aren’t invested in the community — aren’t based in reality. Renting is an increasingly popular choice, and the number of higher-income renters is growing. The study also points out that 21 percent of all housing in the corridor is already rental.
In terms of commercial uses, the plan encourages restaurants and cafes, service businesses and co-working spaces, as well as a food business incubator similar to East Garfield Park’s Hatchery at the vacant IHOP location east of Oak Park Avenue. The plan also preserving the former U.S. Bank bank building and adding another, so that it can accommodate mixed-use purposes, including street-level retail and 30 to 50 apartments above that. The plan calls for a similar concept for the vacant Walgreens at the Narragansett Avenue/North Avenue intersection, as well as moving the existing bus turnaround closer to the Galewood Metra station. To ensure that both sides of North Avenue work together, the plan calls for the creation of a new umbrella organization made up of representatives from Oak Park and Galewood governments and community organizations.
The organization would have a dedicated staffer who would be in charge of implementing the plan. To help fund revitalization, Chicago and Oak Park would establish Special Service Areas on their sides of North Avenue. Cindy Cambray, the program manager for CMAP, said that the final version will need to be approved by the North Avenue District board of directors, the 29th Ward Galewood Economic Development Committee and the Village of Oak Park. The exact timeline for finalizing the plan, she said, depends on how fast the three can get through the process. “We hope to have it finalized by the end of June,” Cambray said. Judith Alexander, the chair of the North Avenue District, said that, while she liked many aspects of the plan, she does have suggestions. “I want to see, and I’m going to ask CMAP to add more emphasis on, the arts,” she said. “Arts can be so important to revitalization.” Alexander cited east Pilsen and Portage Park’s Six Corners area as examples. She said that she is particularly interested in having pop-up galleries in vacant storefronts and installing more murals in the area. “We can do that and we’re going to [apply] for more grants to help pay for that,” Alexander said.

An arts council for teens, by teens pops up in N. Lawndale The School of the Art Institute Chicago at Homan Square hopes the new program leads to long-term community renewal
LEADING THE WAY: SAIC Homan Square is offering a new youthdriven program to add to their already robust programming lineup.
By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
This summer, five teens from North Lawndale public schools will be working together to figure out how to improve and empower their community through art. The Teen Art Council is the new internship program by the School of Art Institute of Chicago at Homan Square. It is open to high school students who live in North Lawndale and attend Chicago Public Schools. Israel Pate, the school’s outreach coordinator, said the program is designed to be led by teens and to empower community members, particularly young people in North Lawndale. At the moment, the application period is closed, but the school is still interviewing students who applied. The Teen Art Council will officially kick off on June 15 and meet every Saturday until Aug. 17. SAIC Homan Square is based on the 10th and 12th floors of Nichols Tower, the original Sears Tower and one of the surviving portions of Sears’ original North Lawndale corporate campus. According to the school’s website, in 2013, the Foundation for Homan Square, an organization that works to redevelop the site, invited SAIC to open classes. In 2015, SAIC officially opened the Homan Square facilities, launching an artist-in-residence program, classes and free community workshops. Since then, the programming has continued to expand. According to SAIC spokesperson Bridget Esanga, SAIC Homan Square already offered courses and open studio hours for teens. Some of the past courses included design, printmaking and coding. Esanga also said that the school works with the North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council’s Arts & Culture subcommittee to develop programs. “I and our administrative team and instructors were interested in ways that we

could have a deeper and more sustainable impact on the students that we are serving.” she explained. “One of the main questions driving this program is, ‘What does it look like when teens are empowered to be leaders and change-makers in their own communities? What can come from that?’” According to the recruitment flier, the interns at the Teen Art Council will learn how to “build supportive creative partnerships,” host piece circles and community conversations, and “develop arts and cultural events based on local community voice.” They will go on field trips and connect with West Side artists. The interns will receive a $300 stipend. Pate said that the ultimate goal is to have teens put together events and/or workshops that would reflect “their vision of what’s most relevant to young people in arts and culture in North Lawndale.” Pate said that the “goal for the program is to trust and believe in our youth and know that, if provided with the necessary support, they have the answers for their community.”
When asked what kind of outreach SAIC did to recruit local youth, Pate said that they reached out art teaches and councilors from North Lawndale neighborhood schools, and they tried to spread the word through the community organizations they work with. Every applicant had to fill out an online questionnaire to gauge their interests and experience with art. The in-person interview process involved students bringing a “selfie presentation that they made themselves using a medium of their choosing” and presenting to a panel about “why they were a perfect fit for this program,” Pate said.
Pate hopes that the Teen Art Council will have a long-term impact in the community. “Ultimately, I hope the program continues to support the community as whole in providing space for teens to have a prominent voice in all of the amazing things that are coming out of North Lawndale,” she said.

West Side residents talk betterment
The Westside Community Triage and Wellness Center recently hosted residents who brainstormed ideas for improving the neighborhood By SUZANNE McBRIDE AustinTalks
It’s easy to miss the building in the 4100 block of West Madison Street. Tucked among other storefront businesses, the Westside Community Triage and Wellness Center, located at 4133 W. Madison, could be mistaken for just another business or social service provider. But what’s unique about the center, which began operations last year, is that it’s open to anyone needing help 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. Police officers and firefighters can drop off those at risk for homicide or suicide. Someone can stay at the center for up to 23 hours and get a diagnostic workup. There’s an exam room, a place to relax. Last week, it was a gathering place for more than 30 people wanting to talk about how to provide everyday basic needs, create community connections, ensure self-care,
deal with trauma, and make sure the faith community is involved in improving mental health. A main focus of last week’s conversation – and of the triage and wellness center itself – is reducing the population of the Cook County Jail. “We want to get (people) treatment rather than locking folks up,” said Leticia Reyes-Nash, who works for the Cook County Health and Hospitals System. “How do we build systems that help and engage the community?” Reyes-Nash said. Those gathered last week had a lot of ideas. At the faith and mental health table, there was discussion about how to get West Side churches more involved in the center. One person suggested churches hold a mental health day when representatives from the triage and wellness center could visit and share information. The information could also be shared in church bulletins. A Chicago police officer suggested there be more “positive loitering” and outreach, building on the 100 blocks 100 churches initiative held every Wednesday night during the summer months. At the community connections table, Milton Johnson, who works at the Bobby E. Wright Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center, talked about identifying key leaders in a neighborhood – “pied pipers” – who could help spread the word and get people

into the triage and wellness center. Holding collaborative events with a number of community groups also was suggested. “We can’t do this alone,” Johnson said. “We need to get the word out, to let people know about our programs.” The trauma group talked about the need to talk about racism. “We have to have a real serious conversation about it,” one participant said. Another participant, Daryl Satcher, pointed to the disparate way violence is handled in one community versus another. There were grief counselors and other services provided at Oak Park River Forest
High School when a student was killed, but that’s not what happens at West Side high schools, he said. He finds the way violence is portrayed in the media upsetting. “I can’t watch it anymore,” he said. “We have to find a way to heal ourselves.” Donald Dew, chief executive officer and president of Habilitative Systems Inc., said the self-care group discussed the importance of nutrition, meditation and mindfulness. One suggestion: practice a 30-day mental diet where you think only those thoughts that are necessary, beneficial and worthwhile to your life. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com
