Petition to Overhaul Edison Park Fieldhouse Playlot

Readers,
This sent in by a reader from edisonpark.com.  This initiative is a joint effort of the Edison Park Community Council and the Edison Park Chamber of Commerce.  Take a minute to read it over and sign the on-line petition.

FACTS

  1. The current playlot at Edison Park Fieldhouse, 6755 N. Northwest Highway, was constructed in 1984.
  2. It has a 64% safety rating according to Injury Free Chicago (Children's Memorial Hospital).
  3. The Edison Park Chamber of Commerce and the Edison Park Community Council are working together on this project.
  4. Current Chicago Park District code does not allow playlots to be named after a living person. John McDonough meets all the criteria except he has not been deceased for a year.
  5. John McDonough grew up in Edison Park and is the current Chicago Blackhawks President and CEO.
  6. Petitions will be at each ticket booth as well as vendor booths in the Business Expo to encourage the Chicago Park District to allow us to rename a "NEW" playlot after John McDonough.

    Why hasn't Chicago Park DIstrict Upgraded this playlot? WHy should a petition be needed. This should be part of the CPD capital projects budget.
