My priorities are to have sufficient healthy food, educational facilities ie libraries, and recreational facilities. The development should try to mirror the Lincoln Park neighborhood.

I view the neighborhood as North Lawndale/East Garfield Park. The proposed construction site will be in both.

As far as the exterior of the building, I like the green in the windows. I think that some of the gray can stay perhaps on the lower levels, whereas the upper levels can be the color of Marshall High, and pull in the color of the Police station on Harrison and Kedzie.

Behavioral clinic with ABA, Speech, OT, & PT. Immediate care facilities that take Medicaid. A Walmart Grocery store option to balance the prices of the one grocery store in the community. A boys and girls club that hire teens in the community... More healthier restaurant options.

I believe long term owners will want at least 2 bedrooms. So, 2 and 3 bedroom should be priority with fewer single.

1. I would love to have an upscale grocery store, such as (Pete’s Fresh Market, Marianos, or Whole Foods) in that area.
2. I would also love to see an upscale Currency Exchange, Bank of America or Chase bank in the area.
3. I would love to see Starbucks or another coffee shop in the area.
4. I would love to see a Recreational Center, that offers ice skating, gymnastics, and rowing for children such as (Ridgeland Commons) in Oak Park.

Our neighborhood is in great need for gathering amenities. We have no public library, no grocery store, no dog park, no coffee shops, etc. It is important that public space is created to draw more people and investments to our community.
