A
This
is
quite
a
discussion
this
evening
about
visioning
and
but
before
we
start,
let
me
explain
the
chocolate.
A
B
C
A
A
A
And
that's
okay
and
looking
at
a
community's
vision.
It's
not
as
I've
indicated
up
here
about
strategic
planning.
Strategic
plans
are
specific
documents,
with
tasks
associated
with
them
over
a
period
of
time.
It's
not
goals
and
objectives.
You've
done
that
and
it's
not
a
mission
statement.
It's
an
opportunity
to
explore.
A
Planning
a
community
like
this
has
breadth
and
depth
in
its
individuals
in
its
governance
structure
in
its
private
sector,
it's
non-profits
in
its
facilities
above
and
below
ground
in
its
natural
amenities.
So
what
capacities
do
you
have?
What
can
be
expanded?
What
can
be
broadened
and
what
do
they
all
mean
about
quality
of
life?
A
A
A
What
is
it
about
this
particular
community
that
makes
this
place
special
and,
in
a
very
general
sense,
what
are
the
two
or
three
broad
issues
that
tie
you
all
together
and
and
how
will
you
want
to
shape
those
in
the
next
two
to
five
to
ten
years
going
out?
50
years
is
really
unknowable
in
this
day
and
age,
but
a
couple
of
years
ahead,
look
at
if
you
think
back
two
years
ago,
what
kind
of
technology
were
you
doing
two
years
ago,
five
years
ago,
ten
years
ago?
A
F
H
In
their
homes,
with
their
immediate
areas,
they
want
to
get
out
and
use
our
parks
meet.
Other
people
take
walks,
enjoy
the
cultural
events
just
come
together
in
different
forms,
different
ways.
We
have
a
lot
of
not-for-profits.
We
have
all
kind
of
ways
in
this
community
that
people
do
work
together
and
get
to
know
each
other,
and
it's
not
all
business.
It's
a
lot
of
it's
physically
social.
I
J
This
is
an
essay
we
talked
today
and
I
just
was
giving
some
thought
to
the
to
the
concept
and
later,
in
the
day,
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
my
oldest
son
who's
thinking
about
going
to
college
and
having
the
conversation
with
him
about.
You
know
what
he
wants
out
of
a
university,
what
he
wants
out
of
a
college,
and
it
just
struck
me
that
really
there
are
a
lot
of
parallels
there,
because
in
in
some
ways
this
evidence
is
like
it's
like
a
big
college.
J
It
has
lots
of
different
aspects
to
it
and
opportunities
to
it,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
times
when
we,
when
we
talk
about
diversity,
we
inadvertently
tend
to
limit
ourselves
to
a
couple
of
features:
racial
diversity
and
socioeconomic
diversity.
But
really,
I
think
what
evanston
has
goes
beyond
that.
It
has
diversity
of
opportunity.
We
have.
J
We
have
arts,
we
have
sports,
we
have
education.
We
have
anything
that
you
would
want
to
try
much
like
a
college,
because
it's
not
just
you,
know
your
major
there's
something
for
everybody
and
there's
opportunities
to
try
to
try
other
things,
and
you
know
that
broad
range
of
opportunity
and
the
opportunity
to
explore
diversity
in
so
many
different
ways,
I
think,
is,
is
what
makes
it
really
unique.
J
I'm
sure
a
lot
do
I
don't
think
we're
completely
unique.
When
I
was
talking
to
gene
today,
I
fell
in
love
with
bevenstein
high
school.
I
just
lived
in
buffalo
road.
I
went
to
the
town
students
just
really
liked
it.
I
went
to
lawrence
and
I
found
a
lot
of
similarities
in
that
town.
I
think
lawrence
is
a
great
town.
J
K
Similar
to
don's
comments,
specifically
the
school
system
here
in
my
award,
I
meet
a
lot
of
young
families
that
moved
from
chicago,
and
one
of
the
comments
that
I
hear
them
say
it's
because
of
the
school
system
and
I
think
in
evanston
as
it
compares
to
the
city,
there
really
isn't
a
bad
school.
K
I
mean
the
resources,
the
balance
of
diversity,
the
opportunities
the
kids
have,
the
quality
teachers,
the
diversity
of
arts
and
sports
and
after
school
programs
is,
I
think,
one
of
the
the
better
qualities
of
art
of
our
town
and-
and
I'm
just
talking
right
now
about
district
65.
Then
of
course,
when
you
get
to
high
school,
I
think
similar
to
what
don
says.
I
Pragmatism
and
the
the
sense
of
having
been
here,
knowing
that
you
can't
walk
in
any
door
that
you
can
talk
to
almost
anybody
in
the
world,
because
you've
been
grounded
in
experiences
here.
A
G
Well,
I
don't
think
you
can
create
opportunity
or
maintain
a
diverse
community
without
worrying
constantly
about
not
taxing
so
much
that
you
drive
people
out
of
town.
So,
from
my
point
of
view,
I'm
continually
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
expand
economic
opportunity
for
the
city
and
working
on
selling
water
working
on
economic
development,
and
I
think
I
think
you
all
are
too.
I
think
if
we
don't
do
those
things.
I
D
A
And
a
lot
of
communities
are
also
facing
the
aging
in
place
issue
and
what
happens
to
people
who
want
to
continue
to
live
here,
not
want
to
go
somewhere
else
at
the
end
of
their
lives
when
all
their
relationships
are
here,
and
does
this
community
accommodate
that.
D
Here
that
many
communities
strive
for,
I
know
a
lot
of
times.
People
say
well,
I'm
in
chicago,
but
it's
really
that
we
do
have
a
variety
of
aging
in
place.
We
also
have
parks,
as
well
as
the
lakefront
as
well
as
you
know,
in
the
intellectual
mecca
here
as
well.
So
it
really
is
a
fully
well-rounded
ecosystem.
We've
had
control
of
our
utilities.
In
many
ways
we
do
have
a
vibrant
business
community,
so
we
are
doing
economic
opportunities.
F
D
We
were
all
hit
by
that.
We
were
able
to
maintain
in
a
way
that
many
other
communities,
maybe
couldn't,
because
we
did
have
that
diversity
of
employment
as
well
as
housing
as
well
as
we
had
not
the
profits,
as
well
as
businesses
to
maintain
our
infrastructure
here.
So
I
think
that
that's
extremely
important
why
people,
when
you
were
talking
about
when
you're
talking
your
son
about
going
away
at
school?
D
What
I
hear
from
a
lot
of
estonians
is,
they
want
to
find
a
college
experience
like
here
they
go
out
and
they
visit
colleges
like
we're,
trying
to
replicate
the
northwestern
evanston
piece
somewhere
else,
and
it's
really
challenging
to
find
you
hear
it
over
and
over
again.
I
think
it's
weird.
We
do
have
an
interesting
ecosystem
in
our.
C
B
C
A
Laid
the
foundation
for
what
colleen
described
as
a
unique
ecosystem
here
are
all
truly
unique
to
evanston,
and
that
is
a
couple
of
things,
some
of
the
best
things
that
I
think
evanston
has
going
for.
It
can
continue
to
be
built
upon,
but
they
include
things
like
that.
You
don't
have
physical
barriers
within
the
city
of
evanston.
There
are
no,
there
are
no
blockades
between
neighborhoods,
no
railroad
tracks.
A
F
C
C
I
believe
that
the
I
think
I
think
there
is
well
because
the
communities
are
so
old.
The
neighborhoods
are
old,
some
people
have
just
stayed
in
place,
but
I
believe
you
would
find
the
housing
stock
as
more
expensive
on
the
north
side
of
the
train
tracks.
A
And
for
a
lot
of
communities,
that's
an
angst
producing
thing,
but
it's
it's
part
of
your
environment
here
and
you
continue
to
do
it.
The
other
thing
that
that's
unique
about
evanston
is
your
multi-modality.
You
have
lots
of
ways
to
get
around
in
this
community
and
it's
it's
a
small
community.
It's
compact,
it's
relatively
flat!
A
So
it's
if
you
are
physically
mobile,
it's
easy
to
get
around
to
walk
and
bike
and
and
you're
looking
at
amenities
and
changes
to
that,
and
that's
that's
part
of
your
strategy
moving
forward
for
the
next
two
to
ten
years.
But
you
you
have
the
features
in
place.
A
You
also
have
a
really
nice
downtown,
plus
you
have
other
retail
and
commercial
areas
scattered
throughout
your
communities
closer
to
your
neighborhood.
So
if
people
don't
want
to
go
downtown
to
have
a
bite
to
eat
in
the
early
evening
on
a
nice
summer
night,
they
can
find
a
restaurant
nearby
and
those
are
those
are
lovely
amenities
to
have
within
walking
distance
biking
plus
you've
got
the
vibrant
downtown,
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
that
I
think
is.
A
A
I
think
you
have
made
very,
very
good
use
of
that,
and-
and
I
think
that
you'll
find
that
to
be
a
very
powerful
tool
in
the
years
to
come,
to
figure
out
what
people
want
and
what
they're
willing
to
talk
with
you
about.
Tell
you
about
issue
by
issue
and
perhaps
even
in
a
broader
sense.
So
if
you
want
to
change
conversations
in
your
community
about
making.
A
Looking
at
the
opportunities
going
forward,
how
can
you
use
that
information?
How
can
you
build
upon
the
foundation
that
you've
already
created
to
go
down
some
some
interesting
paths
here?
So
what
are
your
opportunities
that
you
have
this
kind
of
stuff
people
who
lived
here
in
the
past
helped
design
created?
A
These
are
hard
discussions
to
have
because
you're,
very
practical
people
you
work
on
on
your
problems
and
issues
in
your
ward.
You
answer
questions
you,
you
tackle
the
things
that
come
up
on
a
daily
basis.
Having
these
kinds
of
conversations
isn't
easy,
but
it's
you
need
to
hear
from
each
other
about
why
why
evanston
is
the
way
it
is
and
what
you
want
it
to
be.
I
I
don't
have
trouble
making
the
leap
from
the
practical
nuts
and
bolts
to
a
higher
level
discussion
that,
frankly,
I
don't
have
the
luxury
of
ever
engaging
in
mm-hmm.
G
I
D
D
Times
where
we,
where
we
fall
down
in
discussions,
and
particularly
with
the
community
when
the
community
comes
out
to
citizen
comment,
and
you
have
special
interest
groups
or
factions
that
we
that
we
focus
on
that
one
particular
problem
and
not
articulate
on
what
it
is
comprehensively.
If
you
do
this,
then
it
pulls
its
lever.
So
the
narrative
of
explaining
how
we
have
to
think
about
all
of
the
pieces
and
how
they
fit
together,
not
in
a
piecemeal
fashion
and
very
rarely
do
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
D
We
have
we
spend
money
here.
This
is
what's
going
to
happen.
Something
else
needs
to
be
taken
away
and
it's
not.
We
can't
do
everything
and
again
speaking
about
that,
I
don't
think
we
do
that
enough,
and
it
was
very
important
because
people
say
you
don't
care
about
x,
y
or
z
and
particularly
during
budget
season.
I
think
this
comes
up
a
lot
that
we
have
to
say.
D
L
Well,
it's
a
challenge
that
most
of
the
communities
around
us
aren't
doing.
You
know
you've
all
said
it's
a
community
value
to
look
at
the
big
picture
and
we
have
over
time
tried
to
do
that.
You
know
in
bad
budget
times
we've
you
know
constricted
back.
We
have
better
budget
times.
You
know
the
idea
that
we're
now
the
general
assistance
provider,
so
that
puts
us
squarely
in
the
middle
of
of
taking
care
of
people's
basic
needs
through
that
you
know,
and
the
staff
is
looking
from
a
human
services
perspective
really
four
areas.
L
One
is
you
know
from
zero
to
about
15,
and
what
are
we
doing
to?
You
know
be
supportive
largely
of
efforts
that
we
don't
get
involved
in.
We
do
day
care,
but
but
you
know
those
are
mostly.
Those
efforts
are
taken
care
of
by
others
we're
very
much
into
the
sort
of
15
to
25
area,
both
on
the
recreation
side
and
then
the
the
utm
adult
division.
L
Then
we
have
a
whole
group
of
adults
who
are
at
risk
from
let's
say,
18
to
55,
and
then
we
have
the
seniors
55
and
above
so,
I've
asked
the
staff
to
come
together.
People
who
touch
all
those
areas
and
they're
working
anywhere
to
come
back
from
council
in
september
to
talk
about
things
because
the
senior
folks
say
we
don't
have
enough
resources,
the
adult
folks
say
we
need
more
resources
to
go
out
and
do
the
good
work
that
we're
doing
the
general
assistance.
L
Folks
are
saying:
okay,
we've
got
this
money,
but
how
do
we
connect
it
with
the
housing
piece?
How
much
more
should
we
be
doing
and
all
this
costs
money
and
marty's
got
dollar
amounts
for
pensions
and
we're
going
to
have
to
put
more
money
into
pensions.
L
100
positions
and
10
million
dollars
over
the
course
of
you
know
a
period
of
what
already
four
or
five
years
three
four
years
and
I've
asked
the
staff
to
cut
some
more
because
we
gotta
fund
the
very
things
that
you're
all
concerned
about.
Rightfully
so.
But
what
and
where
and
how.
C
C
I
think
the
mayor
started
out
by
talking
about
money
that,
but
we
have
to
broaden
our
tax
bill,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about.
How
do
we
do
that?
How
can
we
use
resources
that
we
have
to
make
that
broader?
Because
people,
my
residents,
talk
about
no
more
taxes?
You
know
you
still
raise
my
tax
bill
as
if
we
raise
it,
I
don't
know
people
don't
even
get
that,
but
you
know
we
have
one
resource
and
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about.
How
do
we
use
that?
C
We
begin
to
use
that
to
help
do
some
of
that,
so
that's
kind
of
out
of
the
box,
thinking
that
I'm
talking
about
that
we
may
have
to
that.
I
hope
we
will
move
toward
and
it's
changing
and
people
don't
necessarily
want
to
talk
about
it
or
like
it.
But
I
think
that
if
we're
talking
about
five
ten
years
that
we'd
better
be
start
we'd
best
start
to
think
like
that.
I
G
Well,
we
also
are
doing
some
things
that
will
help
the
youth
and
young
adult
group.
I
mean
we
can
talk
to
oakton
a
lot
and
they
have
come
and
taught
some
classes
in
town,
and
I
think
they
will
come
and
teach
more
so
we're
getting
some
workforce
development
we're
getting
some
help
from
the
high
school
with
workforce
development
that
they
never
did
before.
So
right,
it's
not
it's!
Not
all
the
city.
A
A
But
if
you,
if
you
cross
your
your
desires,
your
your
ability
to
look
at
comprehensively
at
what
you're
doing
and
what
you
could
stop
doing,
but
you
could
change
about
what
you
do,
what
what
the
basics
are,
that
you
need
to
maintain
and
how
does
that
all
ties
to
your
quality
of
life?
You
know
what
what
can.
G
L
A
few
years
ago
we
had
one
person
doing
what's
now
using
them
adult
and
that
individual
you
know,
went
to
meetings
and
all
of
you
said
that
was
not
perhaps
the
most
effective
use
of
that
resource.
And
now
we
have,
you
know
what
two
full-time
and
four
part-time
people
going
out
and
doing
extremely
important
work,
but
there's
cost
to
that
because
the
financial
costs
that
this
organization
here
before
you
know
had
one
salary.
Now
we
have
you
know
three
and
a
half
ft,
which
is
great
and
important.
L
But
but
what
are
we?
What
are
we
not
doing,
or
are
we
raising
taxes
in
order
to
pay
for
that
or
we're
just
letting
the
rise
in
the
economy,
so
we're
just
investing
new
resources?
To
that?
So
that's
my
question
for
all
of
you
is
that
when
there's
new
resources,
I
have
staff
saying
okay.
Well,
you
know
we
all
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
paid
well
and
then
we've
got
this
pension
monster
on
our
back
and
we've
got
to
continue
to
put
money
toward
that
and
then
you've
got
your
capital
backlog.
A
But
you
have
a
great
interest
in
the
people
who
come
to
your
meetings
time
that
those
activities
with
the
other
things
that
you're
doing.
F
A
Are
there
ways
to
to
influence
education,
so
you
don't
have
to
spend
your
money
if
you're,
if
your
key
responsibilities
are
safety
and
your
underlying
infrastructure
and
your
transportation
system
and
delivering
your
basic
services,
then
how
can
you
have
the
conversations
with
the
educational
institutions
in
the
community
and
the
other
groups
that
provide
auxiliary
services
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
their
job?
It's
not.
D
And
then,
and
have
them,
because
you
can't
be
the
only
ones
visioning
on
this,
and
you
know,
I
think,
for
a
vision
that
I
would
have
over
the
next
sort
of
short-term
horizon,
which
I'm
thinking
five
to
seven
years
would
be
that
we
we
somehow
break
down
some
of
our
boundaries
between
our
school
districts.
You
know
the
natural
ones
that
you
know.
We
all
have
our
purpose
and
our
jurisdiction
and
our
mission,
but
if
we
could
open
it
up
more
as.
D
That
so
that
we
all
recognize
that
there's
we
all
have
the
same
purpose
and
vision
is
to
make
evanston
a
better
place
to
live
so
to
the
degree
to
which
we
can
reach
out
to
those
other
large,
influential
organizations
in
our
community
and
say
what
can
we
do
more
jointly?
And
I
think
the
cradle
to
career
program
is
doing
that
somewhat.
But
I
think
that
you
know.
I
A
A
What
are
those
possibilities
and
that
could
lay
some
groundwork
for
some
of
these
kinds
of
discussions
with
the
hospitals,
the
schools,
others
in
the
community?
You
know
it's
okay,
to
say
that
you
can't
do
everything
and
that
you
have
set
priorities,
and
these
are
the
things
that
you
plan
on
working
on.
You
set
those
goals
and
objectives,
you're
part
of
your
budget
process
and
you
have
limited
resources.
A
So
how
can
you
engage
these
conversations
among
yourselves?
What
you
know?
What
do
you
want
to?
What
do
you
want
to
accomplish
for
for
evanston
in
the
next
two
to
five
years,
and
then
how
do
you
want
to
engage
these
other
entities
and
talking
about
evanston
is
a
whole
thing.
You
know
you're,
not
in
silos.
A
G
A
A
J
Well,
I
think
common
touch
on
it.
We
have
infrastructure
needs
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
deferred,
it's
beyond
the
point
of
maintenance,
but
now.
J
Yeah
we
can,
if
we
can,
if
we
can
utilize
these
strategic
partnerships,
career
cradle
career
or
any
of
the
other
opportunities
that
are
out
there.
If
we
can
take
some
things
off
of
our
plates,
that
will
enable
us
to
get
the
streets
paved
fix
the
water
mains
and
put
ourselves
in
a
position
where
we're
not
going
to
have
a
whole
a
whole
bunch
of
broken
water
beans.
Every
winter.
J
But
infrastructure
to
me
is
it's
approaching
a
desperate
need,
so
I'd
like
to
get
ahead
of
it
as
much
as
possible.
J
A
D
To
do
that,
I
just
think
it's
also
leveraging
that
extra
money
leveraging
your
resources
to
build
new
resources,
and
I
think,
there's
in
many
ways
what
we
do
on
the
infrastructure
piece.
If
we
get
ahead
of
it,
it
will
cost
us
less
long
term,
but
also
on
the
economic
development
front.
If
we're
willing
to
spend
money
upon
x.
M
A
A
A
So
are
there
ways
that
that
you
can
have
conversations
around
like
a
leveraging
issue
or
an
infrastructure
issue
among
yourselves
and
and
potentially
beyond
and
others
that
that
have
partnership,
but
I
think
you,
as
as
council
members
as
aldermen,
need
to
have
these
conversations
among
yourselves
about
how
you're
going
to
want
to
talk
about
this
with
your
community
when
the
time
comes,
and
so,
what's
how
do
you?
How
do
you
go
about
doing
this?
How
do
you
have
this?
Is
the
start
of
it?
A
But
how
do
you
have
these
kinds
of
conversations
if
out
of
this
came
not
tonight,
but
but
at
some
point
in
time
you
identified
some
some
key
things
that
you
want
to
flesh
out
more
take
the
concept
and
vet
it.
You
want
to
kind
of
curate
the
concept
so
leveraging
your
assets.
For
instance.
What
does
that
mean
to
each
one
of
you?
A
Can
you
deconstruct
it?
Can
you
put
it
back
together
again?
Can
you
ex?
Can
you
agree
upon
a
common
explanation
so
when
people
say
where,
when
you
say,
you're
leveraging
your
assets
at
a
council
meeting,
you
can
then
explain
to
your
constituents
what
it
is
you
mean
by
that
and
and
what
are
all
the
elements
you
considered
about?
It
are
those
kinds
of
conversations
possible.
C
C
Some
of
us
are
frustrated
and
just
want
to
get
it
over
with
others
are
too
tired?
Others
are
hungry,
others
have
to
go
to
bed,
I
mean
there's
all
sorts
of
things
going
on
where
people
are
just
not
of
the
right
frame
of
mind
to
conduct
city
business
and
it
happens
a
lot
lately.
For
example,
we
had
you
know
eight
pages
of
agenda
items
last
night,
and
you
know
some
very
serious
items
on
that
agenda,
many
of
which
did
not
get
discussed
should
have
been
discussed.
C
I
C
I
With
each
other,
with
each
other,
either
there's
no
time
or
easy
place
for
these
conversations
to
happen,
or
maybe
just
no
interest,
I
don't
know
if
we
could
engage
the
community
in
larger
policy
discussions
about
how
one
does
economic
development,
what
are
the
tools,
how
we
deploy
them?
What's?
What's
a
reasonable
return
on
our
investment
things
like
that,
it
seems
as
if,
for
all
of
us
we're
also
busy
time
is
short.
I
D
I
think
it's
controlling,
I
think
we
do
a
good
job
being
transparent
and
our
marketing
team
talks
about
what
we're
doing
on
issues,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
we
do
a
good
job
of
controlling
our
narrative
on.
Why
we're
doing
it
and
why
we're
setting
the
policy
and
many
times
we
let
people
in
citizen
come
and
control
our
narrative
and
respond
to
the
narrative
versus
getting
in
front
of
the
narrative.
D
We
let
the
the
press,
define
our
narrative
and
we're
responding
to
our
narrative
and
so
having
that
more
that
policy
discussion
and
getting
that
policy
wide
or
so
versus
an
economic
development.
You
know
it's.
We
voted
on
x,
y
and
z
and
we're
going
to
give
money
to
whatever
so
the
facts
are
reported
out,
but
not
the
story,
not
the
narrative
behind
it
and
that's
something
something
we
can
do
to
get
in
front
of
that
to
explain
ourselves
better
to
look
at
that
holistic
approach,
but
that
that
has
to
come.
I
think
from
you.
D
Narrative,
but
I
know
many
times,
we'll
get
an
email.
F
F
D
D
You
know
it
isn't
you
know,
but
when
they
read
all
of
the
pieces
together
they
see
what
we're
doing,
and
so
I
I
think
that
there
is
much
more
sense
of
the
city
has
a
purpose
and
that
we
have
particular
goals
that
we're
working
towards
and
then
there
used
to
be-
and
I
think
people
are
whenever
I
get
asked
a
question
about
now-
what's
going
on
or
how
about
this
or
what
about
that
instantly?
It
just
blooms
up
into
more
questions
and
more
questions.
D
You
know
somebody
wants
to
know
about
this,
and
what
about
that?
And
so
I
think,
for
the
most
part,
people
are
very
interested
because
it's
why
why
people
live
in
evanston,
they
don't
view
their
their
government.
As
this
separate
thing
that
happens
in
you
know
some
babe
village
hall
somewhere,
but
it's
something
that
they
interact
with
all
the
time.
C
F
I
City
council:
do
they
really
have
time
to
talk
about
this
or
that
when
you've
got
a
gun,
violence
issue
and
of
course
we
do
because
our
agendas
are
long
and
rich
and
and
but
for
the
mayor,
then,
to
push
the
reset
button
on
the
narrative
on
gun,
violence
and
what
the
city
is
doing.
And
yes,
it's
got
our
full
attention,
but
we
can
pay
attention
to
all
kinds
of
things
right.
At
the
same
time,.
D
D
Or
something
like
that,
and
there
are
we
have
the
viewers
out
there
who
are
listening.
To
that
I
mean
that's
the
big
long
range.
You
know:
here's
the
big
vision,
here's
our
resource,
it's
the
lake
and
here
are
these
other
communities
who
you
know
they
need
us
and
here's
what
we're
doing
and
here's
the
thought
process
behind
it
and
here
in
the
various
ways
in
which
we
can
make
this
water
more
attractive
to
them.
I
thought
that
was
an
excellent
presentation
in
terms
of
you
know,
a
very,
very
big,
significant.
D
H
I
do
think
even
the
most
attentive
and
devoted
person
in
the
community
that
watches
council
is
still
going
to
miss
they're
going
to
be
gaps.
Life
is
that
way
and
there's
you
know,
gaps
in
some
of
the
things
I'm
focused
on,
but
I
think
that
you
know.
H
On
howard
street
there's
this
I
there
seems
to
be
like
a
big
surprise,
and
I
don't
know
that
we're
repeating
that
there
is
a
very
good
plan
and
so
accomplishments
there
that
we
are
trying
to
build
upon,
and
maybe
that
needs
cheating,
even
though
we
know
it
and
think
presumed
people
know
it.
I'm
not
sure
that
people
really
have
it
in
the
back
of
their
heads
to
understand
why
we
purchase
another
building
on
howard
street.
Although.
H
D
C
That
was
done,
and
I
will
tell
you
I
think,
except
for
a
few
people
in
this
town,
there
has
been
extraordinary
acceptance
from
what's
been
done
on
howard
street.
In
fact,
people
are
affording
all
sorts
of
credit
to
me
where
credit
is
not
due.
I
just
had
an
idea,
but
I
continually
say
you
know
our
staff,
our
city
manager
are
driving
these
efforts
and
you
know
it's
all.
It's
all
successful.
It's
all
good,
and
I
I
disagree
that
there
is
a
negativity
about
howard
street
among
the
general
public
of
our
efforts.
C
I
do
think
there
are
a
few
people
who
get
extraordinary
press
time
who
hate
the
idea
and.
I
Property
and
controlling
development
as
an
economic
development
tool,
and
that
this
is
a
common
and
almost
best
practice
in
many
places.
So
the
detractors
are
not
about
howard
street.
I
think
the
deterrent.
C
I
just
read
a
letter
that
I
think
several
of
us
have
seen
where
somebody
who
I
have
great
respect
for
said.
I
absolutely
oppose
any
city
support
financial
support
for
any
for-profit
business
and
I'm
thinking
that
is
very
short-sighted,
and
so
I
mean
so
that's
out
there.
But
this
is
important
because
the
city
is
is
on
a
track
for
economic
development.
I
understand
not
just
how
upset.
J
Dawn
has
been
waiting
to
speak.
No,
it's
just
it's
a
partially,
it's
an
observation,
but
I
recently
heard
one
of
our
state
senators
say
this,
so
I
can't
take
total
credit
for
it.
But
the
comment
was
that
the
most
dangerous
threat
to
democracy
is
an
uninformed
electorate
and
what
we
have
are
people
who
make
decisions
based
on
you
know,
they're
going
to
vote
for
governor
based
on
the
tv
commercials
or
they're
going
to
you
know.
J
They're
gonna
send
us
an
email
based
on
the
headline
and
a
local
press,
and
you
know
even
the
local
press
will
have
you
know
there'll
be
an
article
and
there'll
be
a
link
to
the
section
in
the
packet
and
then
there'll
be
a
comment
at
the
bottom.
That
is
completely
apparent
that
the
person
didn't
read
the
article
they
read
the
headline
and
you
know
you
can't
be
able
to
do
that.
So
I
think
that
we
are
actually
doing
an
exceptional
job.
J
I
think
that
our
local
press
does,
you
know,
get
issues
out
there
in
the
forefront
and
gets
gets
them
out
there
for
conversation.
But
you
know
it's
it's
a
little.
It's
it's!
Some
more
work
for
us.
We
have
to
respond
to
these
things
and
respond
to
questions,
but
the
people
who
really
care
and
want
to
understand,
I
think,
are
the
ones
who
will
reach
out
to
us
and
and
if
they
feel
like
they,
don't
they
don't
get
the
information
that
they
that
they
need
from
those
sources.
So.
A
You
you
have,
you
have
a
really
great
foundation
for
for
claiming
the
narrative
on
the
city's
behalf
and
on
your
citizens.
We
have
with
your
e-newsletter
and
and
the
way
that
you
you
all
communicate
and
your
use
of
technology
and
the
city's
use
of
technology
and
it's
it's
3-1-1.
Governments
are
not
very
good
at
marketing
themselves.
We
at
all
levels.
A
We,
you
know,
that's
just
not
something
that
governments
do
well,
you
do
it
better
than
most
and
that
controlling
the
narrative
and
making
sure
that,
to
the
to
the
best
extent
possible
that
the
information
is
out
there.
It's
accurate
it's
available
that
there
are
links.
If
people
do
have
questions,
that's
almost
as
much
as
you
can
do.
I
want
to
go
back
to
one
other
question
which
is
going
back
to
your
council
meeting.
Yes,.
J
The
finale-
I
guess
one
thing,
though,
to
remember-
and
this
is
what
my
my
point
ultimately
was-
is
that
people
are
busy.
They
don't
have
time
to
read
the
packets
and
that's
kind
of
what
they're
paying
us.
So
there's
a
lot
of
trust.
I
mean
the
vast
majority
of
the
public
trust
that
we're
not
going
to
go
out
there
and
do
something
stupid
and
and
every
once
in
a
while.
Somebody
will
see
something
and
they'll
be
like.
Oh
my
god.
J
Oh
you
know
I'll
sleep
with
the
wheel
yeah,
but
it's
important
to
remember
that
we
we
are,
you
know,
given
this
trust,
so
you
know
if
somebody
feels
like
we've
gone
against,
that
that's
that's
when
we
have
to
try
to.
A
You
know
explain
our
actions
and
that's
a
hard
hole
to
dig
out
of
once
the
public
feels
like
they
can't
trust
you
to
do
the
right
thing,
and
so
yeah
and
one
question
about
your
your
structure.
How
much
could
you
change
the
structure
of
your
meeting?
Do
you
want
to
change
the
structure
of
your
meetings
so
that
you
find
a
different
way
to
have
the
conversations
you
may
be
stuck
in
what
state
law
requires
or
something
like
that?
But
can
you
change
your
structure
and
do
you
want
to
change
your
structure.
C
I
think
once
our
committee
meetings
get
going,
great
information
is
shared
by
staff
and
with
one
another,
our
council
meetings
are
fine
just
so
we
don't
get
to
them.
We
we
we
developed
a
process
now
of
having
interim
council
meetings
like
a
meeting,
sometimes
on
the
third
and
fourth
and
third
and
fifth
monday,
but
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
enough
for
all
the
extra
things
that
we
do.
If
we.
E
C
C
Order
business,
business
but
presentations
and
I
just
the
meeting-
doesn't
start
until
late,
not
all
the
time
I
mean,
we've
had
a
couple
of
meetings
where
we're
out
at
nine
o'clock.
It's
amazing.
C
C
D
D
Or
they
and
then
they
get
up,
and
you
have
many
people
come
and
talk
and
they
comment,
and
then
we
get
to
the
meeting
where
we
have
a
discussion
and
many
of
the
comments
that
made
aren't
informed
aren't
relevant
to
really
what's
happening.
D
So
it's
almost
like
we're
we're
doing
a
disservice
as
if
maybe
we
can
structure
in
a
way
of
giving
the
information
before
citizen
comment
starts
about.
Okay,
this
is
what's
really
being
talked
about,
versus
what
they
just
heard
in
the
press
or
what
a
headline,
or
they
got
an
email
from
whatever
special
interest
to
make
it
actually
a
more
of
a
productive
conversation.
D
D
F
J
Pessimistic
you
know
if
you've
got
five
people
like
that
at
every
meeting
you
spend
ten
minutes
with
each
of
them,
explaining
it
to
them.
You've
spent
a
lot
more
time
than
just
listening
to
them,
and
the
thing
is
that
the
information
is
there
ahead
of
time.
If
everybody
has
access
to
the
same
pack
that
we
get,
the
information
is
available,
they're,
just
choosing
not
to
look
at
it.
D
D
What's
happening,
who
wants
to
speak
to
this
versus
everyone
just
getting
up
and
talking
without
really
there's,
not
there's,
not
exactly
a
dialogue,
and
then
they
get
up
and
talk
and
they're
saying
things
that
are
completely
wrong
and
then
that's
going
out
into
the
public
that
that's
not
right
information.
So
in
some
ways
we
have
a
responsibility
and
we
don't
respond.
It's
part
of
people
can
say
whatever
that's
completely
wrong
and
we
don't
respond
to
say,
that's
not
actually
accurate
and
then
it
just
perpetuates
it.
D
Well,
I
think
these
days
we
much
more
than
we
used
to
I
mean
it
used
to
be.
There
was
such
a
really
strong
sense
that
you
that
people
could
get
up
and
say
whatever
was
on
their
mind
whether
it
was
completely
wrong
or
not,
and
that
you
never
ever
spoke
to
it.
But
I
think
now
the
mayor
does
call
on
wally
a
number
of
times
to
correct
things
much
more
than
in
the
past,
and
you
know
having
been
on
the
council
when
there
was
no
time
limit
on
citizen
comment.
D
Four
years
I
was
on
the
council
and
we
frequently
didn't
start
that
regular
meeting
till
after
11..
So
so
there
is
now
this
this
time
period
and
so
and
to
some
extent
I
think
it's
going
to
be.
M
D
It's
really
hard
for
people
to
be
as
well
informed
as
we
are
on
this,
but
still,
if
you
look
at
what
people
say
over
time,
there's
always
something
useful
that
comes
through
you
know.
Sometimes
you
have
to
sift
through
a
lot
of
things,
and
some
of
it
is
the
whole
point
is
for
them
to
be
able
to
tell
us
they're
unhappy
about
something.
D
C
Certain
situations,
nothing
we
can
do
about
that,
but
we
can't
have
a
chance
to
correct,
or
at
least
give
them
our
views
in
the
committee
meetings,
and
so
I
to
me,
that's
really
the
value
of
the
subcommittees
and
we
have
to
spend
more
time
doing
that.
So
I'm
much
more
lenient.
You
know
in
terms
of
letting
people
speak,
not.
E
I
No,
that's
not
correct.
This
is
you
know,
but
I
think
what's
missing
here
is:
is
there
are
people
who
come
to
speak
for
a
lot
of
different
reasons?
Some
just
want
to
be
very
sometimes
some
want
to
be
advocates
and
influence
our
decision
or
our
discussion,
but
what's
also
missing
for
them.
I
Is
they
don't
know
what
is
effective
advocacy
so
if
there
are
ways
to
help
inform
and
educate
the
people
who
come
to
advocate
what
is
effective
and
what
is
not,
and
the
mayor's
mayor
is
starting
in
on
you
know,
if
you
have
five
people
saying
the
same
thing
designate,
why
being
informed
makes
you
a
much
better
and
a
much
more
effective
advocate
than
being
ill-informed,
because
we
know
a
lot
and
we
know
when
you
don't
know
a
lot
so
help
us.
You
know.
E
C
A
A
A
C
G
A
committee
where
we
discuss
this
kind
of
we
can
assign
it
in,
but
I
don't
want
to
let
this
discussion
go
without
saying
one
thing
that
I
think
all
of
us
believe,
but
that
hasn't
been
said
sufficiently,
which
is
that
citizen
comment
is
tremendously
important
and
yes,
some
citizens
are
not
as
informed
as
they
need
to
be
about
a
specific
issue
to
be
effective
advocates.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
citizens
who
are
not
in
their
neighborhoods.
L
L
The
need
to
read
the
consent
calendar
and
you
all
have
said-
that's
community
value
in
evanston
to
read
the
consent
calendar
out
loud.
I
would
challenge
you
to
find
another
government
agency
anywhere
in
the
world
that
reads
this
consent
calendar,
but
you
have
said
over
and
over
that
that's
a
community
value.
C
L
C
You
started
out
about
people
and
we
all
talked
about
this-
about
people
who
grew
up
here
and
then
they
leave.
You
know
well.
I
came
here
late
in
life
and
well
in
high
school
and
left,
but
I
did
come
back
and
I
had
not
a
good
time
at
evanston
high
school.
I
didn't
like
that
high
school,
they
didn't
like
me
and
it's
true
and
but
I
came
back
because
the
community
was
so
vibrant
and
also,
like
you
said
the
the
grade
schools.
I
wanted
my
children
to
be
in
the
schools.
C
So
that's
that's
why
I
came
back,
and
so
I
was
here
as
dolores
was
here
when
we
had
a
vibrant
downtown.
Just
we
had
like
six
department
stores
and
three
years
we
had.
We
had
just
everything
you
could
ever
want.
C
We
had
all
the
stores
that
were
in
the
room
and
then
it
all
fell
apart
and
you
could
shoot
a
cannon
down
the
street
any
time
and
after
five
o'clock,
5
30
when
washington
national
went
home,
you
could
just
I
mean
there
was
just
nothing
here
and
the
excitement
that
I
got
from
you
know
being
back
here
was
watching
the
council
struggle
with
how
to
make
this
a
better
town.
C
In
fact,
all
of
it
plus
has
come
to
pass,
and
the
success
is
extraordinary
that
I'm
thinking
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
us
maintain
the
successes
that
we
have
because
there's
a
huge
influx
of
restaurants
and
breweries,
and
things
like
that-
and
you
know
those
things
are
very
hard
to
sustain,
and
I
would
like
to
see
us
do
everything
humanly
possible
to
keep
what
we
have
and
make
better
and
help
them
thrive
than
than
you
know,
creating
all
sorts
of
new
things.
C
C
A
And
what
you
have
now
is
very
different
from
what
you
had
in
terms
of
the
downtown
the
economy
about
30
40
years
ago
absolutely,
and
so
it's
an
entirely
different
sort
of
a
downtown.
It
doesn't
have
department
stores,
it
doesn't
have,
maybe
auto
dealerships
and
other
sorts
of
things
that
were
more
traditional
sources
of
revenue
and
activity.
A
H
The
performing
arts
or
live
theater
are
the
very
things
that
are
going
to
help
us
sustain
the
restaurants
and
the
hotels
and
other
things
that
we're
working
to
develop
without
without
some
destinations
we
have
a
lot
of
destinations,
but
I
think
keeping
those
fresh
and
new
is
important
to
keeping
businesses
busy
and
when
something
doesn't
work.
I
think
we've
done
a
pretty
good
job
of
sort
of
phasing
it
out,
but
it's
a
constant.
H
We
have
to
constantly
watch
what
is
working,
what
isn't
and
when
all
of
a
sudden,
you
need
to
have
a
new
event
like
a
bike,
the
ridge
or
something
yeah.
We
do
it
and
it's
it's
successful
that
it
does
change.
You
know
it
keeps
people
wanting
to
still
make
everything
their
destination
to
live
here,
to
work
here
to
just
visit
here.
D
I
think
so
what
has
always
been
cited
by
people-
and
I
think
most
of
us
would
agree-
is
that
the
variety
of
the
types
of
stores
that
we
have
in
the
variety
of
restaurants-
it's
not
what
you
find
every
place
else
replicated
over
and
over
again,
so
coming
to
evanston,
has
a
very
different
feel.
I
mean
yes,
we
have
a
gap.
Yes,
we
have
a
taco
bell,
but
we
also
have
a
human.
We
have
a
distillery.
D
People,
it's
not
that's,
not
something
they
can
find
everywhere
and
I
think
that's
actually
what's
disappointing
to
people
when
they
go
to
other
places
and
you
walk
down
a
street
in
like
charleston,
south
carolina
and
you're.
Like
oh,
it's
like
old
orchard.
You
know,
that's,
that's
not
what
you
had
a
vision
that
I've
been
doing.
You
know,
so
that's
just
citing
something
that
I
experienced.
But
so
I
think
that's.
What
is?
D
We
have
this
destination
retail
so
office
in
so
many
places
throughout
the
city,
and
I
think
maintaining
that
making
this
still
a
business
environment
where
people
who
have
an
idea
of
how
a
restaurant
a
business
something
different
they
can.
They
can
start
it
here
and
I
think
that's
really
important
and
I
think
in.
I
And
for
me,
the
the
advantage
of
our
downtown
is
its
compactness
everybody's
within
just
a
few
blocks.
Yeah
I'd
like
to
see
expansion
of
its
connectivity
to
other
parts
of
us
and
even
within
downtown
the
lake
run,
because
everything
is
really
so
close
in.
It's
not
always
welcome,
proving
enhancing
walkability
and
connectivity
among
our
business
districts
and
within
downtown.
D
This,
this
is
a
very,
very
specific
issue.
If
we
could
make
the
the
student
arts,
the
arts
theater,
actually
show
grace
this
week,
movies
like
it
once
did
back,
you
know
when
we
first
started,
because
I
hear
from
people
over
and
over
again,
they
drive
to
highland
park,
to
see
the
movies
that
are
in
sundance.
D
C
L
Still
a
problem
because
they
won't
show
a
movie,
that's
not
rated,
because
if
a
foreign
film
does
not
pay
for
the
rating,
the
cinemark
folks
are
on
the
board
of
the
emotional
picture,
association
of
america
and
the
corporate
policies.
They
won't
show
it,
but
you
know
they
showed
the
first
nc-17
movie
in
the
entire
chain's
history
in
evanston
last
a
year
ago
spring
largely
because
they
kept
hearing
from
us
so
from
an
economic
development
perspective
johanna
and
I
you
know,
we're
in
regular
touch
with
the
chain,
the
guy
who
buys
movies
for
the
chain.
L
His
first
job
was
at
the
the
theater,
where
rotary
is
now.
I
A
B
Had
come
on,
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
vision
for
downtown
and
the
loss
of
retail
in
the
downtown.
I
think
has
been
fairly
dramatic,
very
lucky
to
have
the
restaurants
that
we
do.
If
you
look
at
other
communities,
highwood,
for
example,
used
to
be
the
restaurant
catherine
lopez
north
shore.
B
No
longer
I
mean
the
question
about
how
sustainable
that
is
is
an
interesting
one
that
will
probably
play
out
over
25
years,
or
so
we
have
a
downtown
that
is
pretty
much
built
up
with
storefronts,
older
storefronts,
roughly
2
000
square
feet
or
less
with
rents
that
are
fairly
high.
A
few
property
owners
control
those
and
sometimes
they're
difficult
to
deal
with,
but
it
does
make
our
satellite
shopping
areas
that
much
more
important
for
retail,
because
people
are
looking
to
buy
something
and
they're
not
finding
at
the
downtown.
B
B
Well,
you
know
they're
going
some
restaurants
are
coming
in,
but
the
replacement
for
a
lot
of
these
businesses
are
restaurants
in
the
downtown,
and
I
think,
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
visioning,
we're
going
to
have
to
talk
about
always
sustain
the
restaurants
over
the
long
term
and
we're
going
to
have
to
focus
on
our
satellite
shopping
areas,
for
what
can
they
provide
for
people
who
might
want
to
come
in
and
dine
in
the
downtown,
but
who
definitely
want
to
have
a
niche
shopping
experience
and
a
unique
shopping
experience
that
you
can't
get
at
old
orchard
or
some
other
shopping
areas?
B
And
so
if
our
vision
for
downtown
is
restaurants
and
theaters,
I
think
that's
a
good
one
to
have.
But
to
expect
that
there's
going
to
be
a
retail
commitment,
I
don't
think
we
can
do
that
anymore
without
the
cooperation
of
some
of
the
real
estate
companies.
Now
some
of
them
have
done
a
fairly
good
job
of
trying
to
fill
these
little
tiny
little
tiny
places
that
are
too
small
for
restaurants
or
where
the
property
owners
don't
want.
B
B
Economic
engine
running
because
it
has
to
be
balanced,
and
we
talk
about
that
all
the
time
in
the
first
ward,
because
downtown
along
with
peter
and
don
I
mean
downtown,
is
a
big
part
of
the
first
ward
experience
and
in
the
connection
to
the
lakefront,
all
of
the
seniors
living
at
mather.
B
I
mean
these
are
all
people
who
are
intensely
focused
on
the
downtown
and
who
have
a
variety
of
opinions
on
most
of
which
is
where
do
I
shop
and
so
dempster
street
is
really
important
to
folks,
really
important
and
now
chicago
and
maine.
I
mean
hopefully,
that
it's
gonna
have
a
little
bit
more
energy
now
central
street,
not
so
much
because
it's
funny
when
people
start
heading
north,
they
think
of
that
as
sort
of
going
to
well
matter
suburbia.
B
It's
very
interesting
the
comments
that
we
get
on
that,
but
in
terms
of
vision,
I
think
that's
it's
something
that
the
economic
development
committee
is
really
going
to
have
to
kind
of
keep
in
the
back
of
their
mind,
going
again
5-10
years
down
the
road,
because
that's
it's
not
it's
not
just
where
we're
headed!
It's
where
we
are
really.
I
mean
that's,
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
turn
back
down.
You
know.
C
All
these
people
are
coming
out
of
the
theaters
and
out
of
restaurants
and
they're,
going
like
this
on
the
store,
doors
and
they're
all
locked
up,
they
all
close
down
and
then,
for
example,
over
on
dempster
people
are
coming
out
of
union
and
some
of
the
other
restaurants
around
it.
All
the
stores
are
closed.
I
mean,
wouldn't
it
be
interesting
if
we
had
a
conversation
with
the
shopkeepers
that
are
there
to
make
it
take
a
couple.
B
Of
nights-
and
you
know
what
central
street
does
a
good
job
with
that
yeah
we're
responding
to
when
there
are
actually
consumers
on
the
street.
I
think
the
problem
for
the
downtown
is
that
you
don't
have
a
collection
of
shops
that
are
close
by
one
another.
I
mean
if
they
could
partner
with
a
restaurant,
for
example.
Maybe
this
is
something
downtown
evanston
should.
B
A
Colleen
and
then
I'd
like
you
to
think
about
taking
a
stretch,
break
and
you've
been
working
hard
and
also
when
we
come
back
think
about
what
else
is
missing
in
the
downtown
and
who
else
has
responsibility
for
the
downtown?
Do
you
have
chambers?
Do
you
have
business
groups
that
you
can
partner
with
so
cool.
D
D
I
talk
a
lot
about
attracting
people
to
live
here
like
targeting
that
we
have
the
word
going
on
saying
people
who
moved
here
I
mean,
I
think,
we're
building
an
infrastructure
but
really
saying
we
want
to
increase
our
population
and
we
want
more
people
living
downtown
and
are
we
out
attracting
people
to
come
here?
Our
population
has
pretty
much
remained
the
same
over
with
the
last
20
years
for
sure
and
a
little
bit.
D
But
do
we
want
to
increase
our
population
and
how
do
we
want
to
go
about
doing
that?
We
talk
a
lot
about
you
know
keeping
startups
here
and
you
know
keeping
graduates
from
you
know
the
college
age
and
what
you
hear
over
and
over
again
is
you
have
to
make
a
place
cool
to
do
that?
That's,
I
know
a
very
technical
term,
but
that's
what
the.
D
A
place
that
you
know
younger
people
want
to
come.
Families
want
to
come.
How
are
we
marketing
that?
How
are
we
getting
people
to
come
and
live
in
all
the
condos?
All
the
apartments
downtown?
We
do
have
affordable
single
family
here
compared
to
the
city
of
chicago,
and
then
I
have
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
like
wow.
We
didn't
realize
that
you
could
get.
You
can
get
a
three
or
four
bedroom
house
in
evanston
for
under
600
000..
You
can
do
that.
C
K
I
know
we're
getting
ready
to
take
a
stretch
and
I
think
all
we've
always
touched
on
it
earlier
and
as
much
as
I
enjoy
talking
about
the
downtown,
because
that
is
part
of
my
ward
there's
also
the
west
side
of
evanston
and-
and
I
didn't
really-
we
didn't
really
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
our
vision
and
I
don't
think
that's
something
that
we
do
as
a
council.
Looking
at
the
other
side
of
town
and
there's,
I
think,
with
the
west
side
of
evanston,
particularly
down
the
dempster
dodge
corridor.
K
And
then,
with
you
know,
new
businesses
come
opportunities
to
for
job
creation
that
we
all
want
to
see
and
also
to
generate
new
taxes.
So
without
a
doubt,
looking
at
the
plaza,
which
is
an
opportunity
to
create
a
lot
of
businesses,
a
lot
of
new
jobs.
I
would
like
to
kind
of
hear
from
council
what
your,
what
your
thoughts
are
just
so.
C
That's
part
of
that
statement.
The
railroads
there
really
is
that
barrier
and
that
barrier
has
been
there
for
50
years
and
and
it's
only
in
the
last,
because
I
always
like
to
credit
all
in
the
last
few
years.
Five
years
say
that
really
this
council
has
ever
looked
west
westward
like
that
people
just
didn't
pay
any
attention,
and
but
I
think
that
I
think
that
this
council
has
done
that
in
the
last
five
years
looked
west
and
south
for
that
medical
state
didn't
look
at
how
it's
great
either.
K
Staff
and
I
have
to
give
credit
to
both
business
associations,
there's
an
industrial
west
end
and
then
there's
the
west
village
business
association.
That's
really
focusing
on
retail
and
services
in
that
area.
I
think
over
the
next.
You
know
six
months,
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
activity
and
it's
gonna
involve
taking
some
risks
on
things
that
we
probably
wouldn't
normally
do
so
again.
I.
A
Let's
talk
about
the
west
side
and
let's
talk
about
the
owning
it
and
and
the
visions
beyond
one's
award
and
and
and
you're
doing,
a
really
good
job
of
that
is
looking
out
there
and
saying
you
know
this
is
our
community
in
its
entirety?
How
can
we
make
all
parts
of
it
better?
How
can
we
own
all
parts
of
it
take
credit
for
all
parts
of
it
and
solve
problems
and
all
parts
of
it
so
judy
and
let's
take
brick?
I
just
want
to
make
three.
B
Points
on
the
first
down
fountain
square
at
the
fountain
square,
the
reach
nine
of
fountain
square
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
create
an
incredible
public
space,
and
even
if
we,
I
think,
if
william
howard's
attack
or
someone
came
to
evanston
at
one
time,
there's
a
historic
photograph
of
people
gathered
in
fountain
square.
B
Listening
to
him,
it
wasn't
teddy
roosevelt
that
designed
the
but
listening
to
him
speak
and
the
sense
of
community.
In
that
space,
I
think,
was
something
that
has
always
impressed
me,
but
having
a
central
public
space,
I
think
is,
is
really
going
to
be
helpful.
B
Second
thing
about
howard
street,
when
I
was
a
little
kid
went
to
howard
street
to
get
my
shoes
for
my
eighth
grade.
Graduation
howard
street
has
always
been
the
defining
street
that
says
you're
coming
into
evanston.
It's
always
been,
and
I
remember
having
this
experience
coming
into
evanston
going
and
that's
really
important
and
alderman
reigning.
I
think
that's
why
others
may
not
have
had
that
memory,
but
that's
why
howard
street
is
really
important
is
because
it
sets
the
tone
for
what
we,
as
a
community,
expect
in
our
community.
B
The
quality
that
you
are
in
a
different
place
that
what
happens
on
one
side
of
the
street
does
not
have
that.
B
B
I've
always
wondered
why
we
don't
do
a
mixed-use
residential
commercial,
something
because.
E
C
B
C
A
Comments
that
you
made
earlier,
I
tried
to
kind
of
summarize
the.
A
You
want
to
create
and
own
your
own
vision
and
infrastructure.
Your
infrastructure
is
an
essential
component
of
your
future.
You
cannot,
you
cannot
have
the
future
you
want
without
this
being
in
place
and
in
good
shape.
It
gives
you
options
for
a
good
thing.
Now,
before
we
left,
we
started
to
talk
about
about
the
west
side
and
and
vision
and
with
a
half
an
hour
left.
I
I
want
you
to
to
think
about
how
concise
you
can
be
on
that.
This
does
not
have
to
be
the
only
time
that
the
council
talks
about
its
vision.
A
You
need
to
start
somewhere
and-
and
you
have-
and
I
can't
emphasize
enough
how
hard
this
work
is,
because
it
is
not
what
you're
used
to
it's,
not
what
you
usually
do
and
having
this
kind
of
conversation
with
each
other.
Is
it's
really
hard
work
and
it's
really
valuable
work,
and
hopefully
some
members
of
the
community
are
watching
this
tonight
and
thinking?
A
It's
are
really
good
questions
and
they
are
talking
about
really
important
issues
that
are
going
to
matter
to
me
and
my
family
and
my
friends
in
the
future,
and
the
other
thing
is:
if
you
don't
do
it,
who
will
and
are
you
willing
to?
Let
somebody
else
shape
this
community's
future
you're,
its
elected
officials?
It's
representative
democracy.
A
E
A
This
is
a
this
is
how
you
start
owning
your
vision.
This
is
how
you
define
it.
You
talk
about
it,
you
share
it
with
each
other.
You
find
your
common
ground,
you
define
it,
you
deconstruct
it.
You
put
it
back
together
again
and
you
get
ready
to
find
ways
to
create
the
opportunity
to
move
in
those
kinds
of
directions,
and
you
lead
the
community.
You
have
the
leadership
role
to
create
this
vision.
So
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
outside
of
the
downtown.
A
K
You
well
what
it
means
for
me
is
what
it
means
for
evanston
and
I
think,
if
you
were
to
kind
of
just
look
at
the
stores
on
a
on
a
piece
of
paper
without
assigning
it
to
evidence,
you
have
the
main
corridor
that
leads
into
evanston
and
the
couple
of
businesses
that
we
have
is
a
nice
little
blend
of
services
and
retail.
So
we
have
a
newly
created,
fairly
funded
clinic
that
their
staff
worked
very
hard
on.
K
We
have
a
team
edison,
so
we
have
a
soccer
training
facility.
We
have
a
swim
school,
that's
looking
to
come
into.
We
have
a
brand
new
brewery
of
the
other
businesses
that
are
coming
in
there's
a
restaurant
supply
company
and
then
there's
also
an
antique
business
yeah.
Well,
that's
it,
though.
That's
a
very
nice
actually
innovative.
K
Yep,
you
also
have
the
bakers
that
are
there
and
then
you
have
a
national
chain.
So
you
have
a
mcdonald's
you'll
soon
have
a
starbucks.
You
have
a
dunkin
donuts
on
the
other
side,
mcdonald's
2.3
million
a
year,
though
burger
king.
I
don't
know
if
they
do
a
subway
based
on
their
model.
They
should
do
right
about
over
a
million.
The
dunkin
donuts
should
do
a
1.8
million.
So
there's.
K
That's
doing
a
tremendous
job
attracting
people
from
the
dance
center,
the
dance
center.
So
there
are
all
these
elements
that
are
just
sort
of
in
that
location
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we're
challenged
with
over
there
and
our
business
associations
do
really
creating
an
atmosphere
where
there's
a
lot
of
communication
and
camaraderie,
but
we
haven't
really
found
a
way
to
market
that
area.
That's
more
that
just
you
know
that
includes
just
the
diversity
of
businesses
and
services
that
are
there
and
I
think
over.
K
When
I
look
out
you
know
four
or
five
years
I
can,
I
can
see
the
places
filled.
I
can.
I
can
see
the
increased
foot
traffic,
but
it's
just
how
do
you?
How
do
you
market
like?
Definitely
when
you
say
downtown
evanston?
There
are
things
that
come
to
mind
and
I
and
I
want
to
build
that
same
type
of
perception
and
vision
for
for
west
edmonton.
So
when
you
say
the
dempster
corridor,
do
you
see
it
as
the
main
entryway
in
adamson?
K
D
Visitors
side
of
the
light
industrial
that
faces
it,
and
so
at
some
point
you
know,
erie
has
its
signage.
The
soccer
facility
has
a
little
sign,
but
you
know
I
think
some
of
it
is
creating
a
brand
over
there
yeah
then
someone,
that's
gonna,
take
some
difference
in
terms
of
the
facade
and
or
a
uniform
signage
in
in
a
way
so
that
people
as
they're
driving
in
they're,
like
oh,
yes,
theory,
there's
the
soccer,
there's
the
swim,
sort
of
thing,
yeah.
E
D
I
F
I
I
Safer
crossings
will
make
will
make
so
much
more
of
a
destination
and
I
think
infrastructure
space
too.
Obviously,.
C
Side,
yeah
you're,
talking
about
support.
I'm
talking
about
church
emerson
quarters
sure
that
coming
into
it,
which
makes
it
really
different
and
which
is
tough
way,
more
acceptable
and
I'm
just
being
honest,
more
acceptable
and
where
things
have
happened
in
the
last
25
30
years
versus
north
of
church
north
of
lake,
rather,
which
hasn't,
which
always
puzzles
me.
Because
we
have
this
fantastic
top
high.
C
D
D
G
G
It
was
an
incredible
number,
so
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
is
all
of
us
use
the
numbers
whatever
they
are
from
church
street,
dolores
as
well,
but
the
number
of
car
trips
passed,
because
that's
something
that
a
business.
Yes,
I
agree
with
walkability,
but
if
knowing
how
many
car
trips
and
the
diversity.
F
C
What
I'm,
what
I'm
hoping
is
that,
because
we
don't
think
we're
all
the
time
with
this,
is
that
maybe
we
could
use
one
of
our
third
or
fifth
mondays
in
the
fall
to
review
the.
Thank
you
on
the
west
side
plan,
because
we
really
do
have
a
website
plan
that
this
council
approved
and
we
need
to
look
at
it.
Maybe
update
it
do
whatever,
and
to
think
about
that.
In
terms
of
where
we
wanted
to
do
that,
I
think
that.
H
Part
of
the
problem
that
you
know
there's
such
a
draw
on
each
side
of
the
dumpster
dodge
area,
shopping
area,
especially
there's
I
mean
it's
a
huge
attraction
and
with
the
big
box
stores
and
then
there's
all
this
development
on
chicago.
H
So
I
think
there
is
a
sort
of
particle
there
that
you
know
people
are
starting
to
do
those
locations
and
I
think
it's
going
to
take
some
kind
of
unique
businesses
and
opportunities
there
truly,
you
know
destinations
like
you
know
the
swimming
pool
or
the
you
know
bowling
alley,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
have
to
be
something
that
the
other
areas
aren't
offering
to
really
attract
people
to
get
out
and
shop
or
spend
time
there.
B
L
Yeah
one
of
the
challenges
the
center
has,
though,
is
the
radius
right
that
that
when,
when
national
retailers
are
looking
to
locate,
they
look
at
metrics
that
deal
with
the
radius.
You
know
two
miles
three
miles
five
miles
out
and
you
know
two
and
a
half
three
miles.
You
start
getting
fish
and
and
that's
a
challenge
for
others
places
where
they
make
other
spending
decisions.
If
they
draw
that
circle
there
are
people
yeah
in
that
whole
circle,.
B
L
A
So
so
that
delores,
that
was
an
excellent
idea
about
bringing
back
the
plan
that
you
have
in
place
and
taking
a
look
at
it
in
the
next,
the
next
two
to
five
years.
Part
of
your
strategy
can
be
the
owning
that
this
is
evanston's.
This
is
an
issue
for
all
of
evanston
and
we
want
to
make
it
better.
A
A
Retailers
think
will
work
for
them
and
and
what
how
it
can
be
coordinated.
I
think
denser
corridor
is
not
a
very
marketable
phrase.
Dempster
dodge
you
know
there
may
be
some
things.
A
Is
that
sense
of
history?
What
was
there
before?
What
do
people
remember
and
do
they
remember
it
in
a
good
way?
Do
they
remember
it
as
something
that
they
didn't
want
to
spend
time
with,
so
how
you
position,
it
is
going
to
be
important,
and-
and
that's
that's,
a
really
good
vision
strategy
for
for
the
next
two
to
ten
years
is
how
can
how
can
that?
A
K
I
guess
before
we
close,
I
want
to
thank
council
because
I
think
we've
actually
started
that
process
and
for
those
of
you
that
supported
the
tiff
a
few
years
ago.
That's
really
where
it
began,
and
I
think,
just
on
my
short
time,
council.
I've
learned
a
lot,
particularly
from
watching
alban.
Rainey
is
a
resident
when
we
started
to
talk
about
the
tiff
and
now
actually
about
a
few
years,
older
and
sitting
on
counseling
and
watching
that
tiff
make
some
huge
transformations
of
some
buildings
and
how
it
is
really
exciting.
K
You
know
five,
ten
years
from
now,
whether
it's
a
alderman
or
a
resident
being
able
to
know
that
there
are
resources
that
will
be
there
to
leverage
public
tax
house
similar
to
what
almond
ram
did
on
power
street
is
exciting.
B
Attitude,
I'd
like
to
reach
out
to
evanston
businesses
who
may
either
be
outgrowing
or
find
their
space
sort
of
in
central
evanston
outmoded
and
get
them
to
stay
in
evanston.
I
mean
I'm
kind
of
thinking
now.
Why
is
tom
thumb
going
to
niles
yeah
I
mean
why
aren't
they
going
to
dumpster
in
dutch
and
have
we
talked
with
them?
B
There's
other
I
mean
the
destination
destination,
retail
I
can
think
of.
In
evanston
I
mean
folk
fabrics,
tom
plum,
spice
house.
I
mean
these
are
places.
J
I
G
M
Originally,
the
idea
his
idea
was,
I
think,
what
we
said
for
a
long
time
was
the
hobby
industry
is
declining,
it's
looking
for
an
online
model,
and
that
was
that
was
the
story
that
we
were
being
told
and
then
more
recently,
this
denials
opportunity
popped
up
that
we
didn't
know
about
it,
and
I
know
we've
reached
out
to
to
see
if
there's
still
an
ability
to
retain-
and
I
think
it's
it's
probably
for
a
lot
of
businesses.
It's
a
very
emotional
decision
to
move
and.
D
So
and
so
many
of
those
those
students
are
young
enough
that
parents
don't
leave,
I
mean
they
stay
right,
waiting
for
them
and
you
know
so
or.
E
F
D
Many
ways
are
insular
of
what
the
city's
doing
and
what
the
council
is
doing
and
as
we're
looking
at
the
bigger
vision,
more
comprehensively
of
finding
ways
to
get
our
not-for-profits
are
our
school
districts,
the
university,
the
hospitals
to
partner
with
us
on
these
visions
to
get
their
buy-in
for
what
is
important
to
us
so
that
we're
we're
all
working
together
and
that's
why
we
don't
do
that
a
little
bit
but
really
making
that
a
an
important
goal
for
us
is
that
we
are
working
as
community.
D
It's
never
going
to
be
seamless,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
going
on
here
that
we're
not
tapping
into,
and
we've
talked
about
around
social
services
and
looking
at
mental
health
and
and
beijing
working
with
the
not-for-profits.
But
in
other
pieces
that
we're
doing.
I
think
we
do
it
the
best
with
economic
development,
but
we
can
do
it
in
other
areas
of
the
king,
who
are
our
key
partners,
and
what
do
we
want
to
do
versus
just
looking
at
just
our
money
here?
How
can
we
leverage
it?
C
Think
a
good
model
also
is-
and
I
said
it
earlier,
but
I
think
that
what
we're
doing
with
our
youth
and
young
adult
division
working
with
all
the
other
partners
in
community
is
excellent
in
terms
of
where
we
want
to
go,
how
it
can
be
done,
and
you
know
I
think,
that's
really
really.
You
know
something
that
we
have
to
think
about
in
terms
of
the
other
departments
in
the
city.
C
How
that
can
be,
you
know,
pulled
together,
but
they've
reached
out
really
to
every
possible
partner,
and
I
think
you're
right
melissa,
the
more
I
learn
about
career
and
that
that's
a
accept
that
will
never
have
programs
or
anything.
It
really
is
just
to
pull
everybody
together
to
leverage
whatever
they're
doing,
to
make
things
better
so
that
we
can
have
a
good
product.
G
L
They
don't
think
anything
of
it,
they
don't
think
again.
That's
who
I
was
with
when
we
saw
it.
They
think
nothing
of
it.
They
think.
Oh,
it's
pretty
much,
but
the
symbolism
of
the
organ
one
organization
that
solely
founded
the
focus
on
evanston
is
going
to
will
met
for
their
fundraiser
because,
oh
gosh,
we
can't
have.
We
can't
find
big
enough
room
and
all
that
was
so
hard
to
do
with
last
year.
So
we're
going
to
go
and
go
to
women.
I
mean-
and
I
told
joe
guns
from
the
report
chair
today.
F
L
That
says
is
another
evidence.
The
community
foundation
is
focused
on
another
outstanding,
not
the
evidence,
certainly
that
I'm
familiar
with,
and
I
think
you're
familiar
with,
and
what
do
we
do
and
they
destroy
their
shoulders.
Saying
oh
well,
gosh!
If
someone
would
build
a
bigger
venue
for
our
event,.
C
To
work
on
bringing
making
the
sororities
and
the
fraternities
and
some
of
the
social
clubs
bring
their
events
back
to
evanston,
but
they
can't
afford
it.
They
need
like
norrington,
and
so
if
they
would
match
the
prices
that
we
could,
we
could
really
begin
to
bring
people
back.
But
it's
too
expensive.
E
A
Do
it
all
yourselves,
you
don't
have
unlimited
resources,
time,
energy,
staffing
and
these
other
entities.
You
know
that
partnership
that
colleen
just
described
finding
new
ways
to
to
engage
these
folks
and
and
help
them
understand
that,
in
order
for
evanston
to
be
what
you
all
want
it
to
be,
you
all
have
to
find
ways
to
make
it
work
together
and
you
all
have
to
be
responsible.
A
M
E
D
B
B
They
want
to
know
that
we're
looking
out
for
what's
best
for
them,
and
there
are
issues
with
every
large
organization
in
town
in
terms
of
residents
and
and
that
communication
from
us
as
their
elected
officials,
so
that
we
communicate
that
we
are
looking
out
again
for
their
best
interests
and
their
future
is,
I
think,
really
important
partnerships
yep,
but
stay
in
touch
with
that
constituents.
B
I
L
D
I
think
we
should
do
it
with
some
regularity,
so.
K
A
A
I
heard
that
that
shouldn't
couldn't
be
said
and
and
it's
it's
powerful,
it's
powerful
stuff
to
talk
about
concepts
for
how
your
future
might
be
shaped
by
you
and
and
it's
important
that
you
have
this
conversation
first
and
you
have
it
in
a
public
venue.
You
know
the
process
here
there
they're
going
to
say
something,
that's
being
recorded,
and
so
if
people
are
interested
they
can-
and
I
don't
know
if
they'll
comment
on
it
or
not,
but
you're
not
hiding
anything.
You
are.
A
A
The
capacity
is,
is
a
powerful
thing
and
I
think
people
in
evanston
will
be
proud
that
you
chose
to
do
this
kind
of
work
because
it
means
you're
looking
out
for
their
best
interests
now
and
in
the
future.
You're
trying
to
craft
things
now
that
are
going
to
be
important
for
the
future
you're
not
always
going
to
be
here,
you're,
not
always
going
to
be
in
this
role,
and
this
is
this-
is
legacy
building
in
the
in
the
best.
A
A
Elsewhere,
some
things
about
your
social
services
safety
net.
If,
if
people
have
plans
and
resources,
they
can
do
things,
but
what
about
the
people
in
this
community
that
don't
have
plans
and
resources
how
how
do
they
fit
in
and
how
can
they
be
supported
as
part
of
your
vision?
There
are
lots
of
elements
to
vision,
planning,
and
these
are
simply
questions.
