The Committee on Transportation and Public Way met on January 10, 2024, established quorum with nine members present, and held a public comment period. The committee considered the Rule 45 report and a group of locally introduced items on pages three through five; the captions do not make the outcomes of those motions clear. A consultant for the developer presented the 9 on Central resubdivision of lots at West Cornelia Avenue and North Central Avenue in the 30th Ward, a nine-unit townhome project with a letter of support from the ward's alderperson, and the committee recommended it for approval. An attorney for the developer of the former Michael Reese Hospital site requested release of a 1924 restrictive covenant tied to a vacated alley in the 4th Ward; the item was discussed before the meeting adjourned, and the captions do not show a vote.

Topics: Resubdivision, Townhome development, Michael Reese Hospital site, Restrictive covenant release, Alley vacation, Rule 45 report
