Valued Land

More proposed high-density development on the land-locked North Shore, this time on proposed development in Ft. Sheridan. Among other things, residents are worried about "horrendous traffic". And this, Trib:

With one of Ft. Sheridan's two main entrances directly across the street from the proposed site of Highwood Towers, Ft. Sheridan residents contend the project would pollute the air and bring more students to their already underfunded schools. Some feel the proposal is being rushed through the City Council without enough study.

"Obviously, people are worried their property values will decline," said Mary L. Sfasciotti, a Ft. Sheridan resident and attorney helping organize opposition.

A valid concern.
