Long and short there's not a lot that can be done beyond raising a stink about this. Not only is it demolishing a historic building, the development goes directly against the city's TOD planning. AND this is going to be a "yet unnamed" grocery anchor much like North Center (Damen/Irving Park) as well as Lincoln Square. Why did those Alders pay attention and Tunney is turning a blind eye?
Tunney NEEDS to go. Tired design, auto-centric, poorly planned developments are the norm in Lakeview.
