Save our neighborhoods! Stop the Wasson Tower Development in Hyde Park & Oakley

The Issue

Sign on to show your support in opposition to the Wasson Tower development taking place on the former site of the Hyde Park Floral garden center and along the brand new Wasson Way.

A well-known local developer plans to develop a six-story, two-story above ground parking garage and apartment mega-structure that presents major threats to both the safety and character of the local neighborhoods. To learn more about the project, please visit stopwassontower.fyi

WHY THIS BIG BOX DEVELOPMENT IS WRONG

  • The character of our neighborhood & the integrity of your home is under attack.
  • This design and size will overwhelm one of our most vibrant and pedestrian-filled arteries and and challenge the neighborhood flow in a congested area.
  • It will generate more noise, more light pollution and more traffic.
  • It jeopardizes the safety of our neighborhood children and those using the new, popular Wasson Way walking and bike trail.

WHAT THE COMMUNITY DEMANDS

  • A public meeting with the developer
  • A comprehensive traffic study on impact to all streets within 0.5 miles of 3660 Michigan Ave.
  • Limit new structure to three stories and residencies to 20 units or less
  • A redesign to existing neighborhood standards
  • Eliminate noise pollution sources – no above ground garages or outdoor pools.
