Community Residents Against the Proposed Mega-Development on the Maryville Site at Montrose and Clarendon
Sign Now
We the undersigned OPPOSE the proposed Montrose/Clarendon mega-development, including the 39-story skyscraper (498 feet tall), the 30-story skyscraper (407 feet tall), the private condos on Clarendon Park, the giant parking garage, and the other buildings and commercial facilities to be jammed into this very small space. We OPPOSE the zoning ordinance changes which would allow this development to be built, and we OPPOSE the enlargement of the existing Maryville planned development for the Lakeview Station planned development in the proposed Montrose/Clarendon TIF.
We feel that the proposed development provides no community benefit in return for a large giveaway to the developers, and would in fact harm the community. It is at least ten times larger in scale than the surrounding buildings and would overshadow and dwarf the contiguous residential and small-business areas. Parking would become much more difficult and traffic backups much worse. It is out of character with Uptown's Clarendon Park and Buena Park neighborhoods and with the vision of the majority of Uptown residents.

Too many questions, too much money, too few answers and no accountability. I will spport intelligent, transparent, development w/TIF money; but, this isn't it.

Another TIF is the last thing we need in the 46th ward. As a resident, I am appalled by the secretive way this has been handled and the lack of transparency from the alerman's office.

A proposal calling for a site so dense that 53-foot long semi-tractoors and trailers would need to use Agative Avenue as a driveway? A bad proposal. A very bad proposal.
