But then what uses, exactly, are permitted by public trust doctrine? Most of the uses in the Obama Center are akin to those uses already common in our public parks. Museum, field house, underground parking, archives. Many of those improvements in our parks are also owned and/or operated by private entities.
Just as with the Lucas Museum, I fail to see how the Obama Center is materially different from the many other public institutions that exist in Chicago’s parks and, apparently, are entirely legal. How is it any different from the Peggy Notebaert Museum, to use a recent example?
