Riverbank Restoration
Clip: 9/9/2013 | 9m 18s
We discuss the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration plan, which some North Side residents oppose.
North Side residents are battling a plan to clear-cut 14 acres of trees along the Chicago River from Irving Park Road to Montrose Avenue. The Army Corps of Engineers and the Chicago Park District say the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration plan will restore the riverbank by Horner Park. But opponents want the native old-growth trees left alone for the $6.5 million project.
