Edgewater Neighbors Challenge Broadway Upzone in Court

Edgewater residents and Edgewater/Uptown business owners have sued the City of Chicago to overturn Broadway’s upzoning approved by City Council, arguing due process and notification failures and that the rezoning to allow taller, denser development along Broadway from Devon to Montrose—with changes to zoning classifications (C1-5, B3-5, B3-3) and a pedestrian-street designation—threatens the neighborhood’s fabric. A March 13 hearing is scheduled in Cook County Circuit Court; the city says it has not yet been served. Supporters and opponents held campaigns around the rezoning as the lawsuit proceeds.

Bakerville Exit Rezoning Dropped, Open Space Wins Near I-70

Developers withdrew the rezoning request to build a gas station/truck stop at the Bakerville I-70 exit, canceling a January hearing after strong local opposition and conservation concerns. County has not indicated whether they will reapply, and supporters celebrate a victory for open space and nearby recreation areas while leaving room for future discussions on land protection.

"Blackfoot Planning and Zoning Commission Denies Rezoning Proposal"

The Blackfoot Planning and Zoning Commission rejected a proposal to rezone a portion of land from medium-density residential to commercial, following a public hearing where residents voiced concerns about potential negative impacts on the neighborhood's character, green spaces, property values, and safety. The proposal stemmed from a clerical error in 2018, and the commission emphasized that the area had been zoned as commercial before the changes in 2018, with a residential neighborhood built through a conditional-use permit.

Bronx's Political Shift: From Republican Vote to Democratic Reckoning

Bronx's Political Shift: From Republican Vote to Democratic Reckoning

In a surprising turn of events, a Republican candidate, Kristy Marmorato, won public office in the Bronx for the first time in nearly 20 years. The incumbent Democrat, Marjorie Velázquez, faced backlash for supporting a rezoning proposal that would bring new construction to the area. Many residents opposed the plan, fearing it would change the neighborhood's character and increase rent prices. Marmorato capitalized on this discontent and campaigned against the rezoning, resonating with voters who wanted to resist further development. The election outcome reflects a desire for strong political resistance against future rezoning efforts in the Bronx.

Bronx Councilmember's Rezoning Vote Leads to Shattered Trust and Republican Victory

Councilmember Marjorie Velázquez lost her seat in the Bronx after reversing her opposition to a rezoning plan, causing voters to lose trust in her. Her support for a housing development and fears of her potential support for a facility housing formerly incarcerated individuals and a casino led to her defeat. Despite support from organized labor, Velázquez struggled to build local relationships and was absent from public events. Her opponent, Marmorato, ran a strong anti-Velázquez and anti-upzoning campaign, winning in neighborhoods averse to new development. The Bronx Democratic Party called the loss a "wake-up call" and emphasized the need for organization and collaboration.
