What is your source that the CPL is going to build a 2 story building? The board of directors stated that there are no plans to do so.
Where is your source that the Board said it was 1-story?
Apparently you didn't go to the meeting.
Ald. Lyle said it would be 2 story in a community meeting, but Mary Dempsey , the ocmmissioner, said it would NOT.
i will post on The Sixth Ward blog later today
It is to our understanding that Alderwoman Lyle assured us that the laundimat issue of environmental contamination was the leading cause to seek a 2-story structure for the new library, Mary Dempsey's views notwithstanding.
You are correct that Ald. Lyle mentioned this in Nov. or Dec.
However, Mary Demspey is the head of the library system, and this was the latest facilities meeting, and I asked her that question at the meeting this Tuesday. Were you not there?
