The Chicago City Council delayed approving summer events over concerns about Grant Park, NASCAR, moving Taste of Chicago to Navy Pier and more.
The delay comes at the request of Alderman Brendan Reilly, whose 42nd Ward includes Navy Pier and parts of Grant Park.
Reilly said the Lightfoot administration just decided to move the Taste to Navy Pier without any dialogue with him or neighbors. "People are going to have a very hard time getting to programing in Maggie Daley Park, the baseball diamonds are not available for use," said Leslie Recht, president of the Grant Park Advisory Council."There are a lot of issues that were never addressed when the contract with NASCAR was signed," she said.
