Message from the Chicago Police Department:

At 5:30 am on December 10, 2011, there was a home invasion on the 1800 block of Cuyler. The offender kicked in the door & threatened the family with a gun. He is described as a black male in his 20’s, 6’2″, and weighing around 200 pounds. He was wearing a gray skull cap, gray down jacket and blue jeans.

Earlier this morning, there was another home invasion in the 900 block of Sheridan. That offender had the same description but was said to be wearing a black skull cap & gray sweatshirt.

In between these two incidents a person on the 1800 block of Berteau reported someone pounded on their door asking for money to fix a car. The homeowner did not answer or see who was at the door and the person left. It may or may not be connected.

If you heard or saw anything suspicious, or live in the area and have a home video surveillance system, please contact Area 3 Detectives or the CAPS office in the 19th District at 312-744-5574. If you need immediate assistance please call 911.

Hi Everyone;

Here is an overview of Alderman Pawar’s community meeting on the Mariano’s Grocery store in the Sears Parking Lot at Lawrence and Ravenswood.

The meeting focused mainly on the proposed Mariano’s grocery store at Clark and Ravenswood. To be located in the Sears Parking Lot. The location comprises of two lots. The first lot, on the Lawrence Avenue side, will contain 122000 sq ft of retail space on two floors. The first floor will ideally hold a gym or health club and the second floor will have the grocery. The third floor will have parking for the grocery. At the rear of the building will be the parking lot for the first floor space and the Sears Store. Also part of the first floor will be the Sears Automotive Center, the bay doors of which will face towards the drive that will run parallel to the train tracks. That means anyone parking in the rear to use the health club or the Sears Store must walk the sidewalk along and in front of the service bays. Many people at the meeting had concern about this. The parking for the grocer would be on the roof. There was some concern about that because of the safety but the developer says unequivocally that the design of the roof parking will be heavily secured. The roof parking would be for the exclusive use of the grocer as one would be restricted to where one could bring the carts.

The back lot would be low density housing which would be accessed via the same drive as the stores and parking. Not much was mentioned about this except to say that it was another developer.

The project would be boosted with an approximate 4.5 million dollar TIFF expenditure. Everything is in place to get it started and there are two more meetings for people to come and review the proposal(s). If all are on board and approvals go as planned then the project could start in the spring of 2012 and finish one year later.

All this is being done in conjunction with the renovation of the Ravenswood Metra station and the redesign and rebuild of Lawrence Ave. Lawrence Avenue will be reduced to two lanes in either direction with a center lane used for turning and bike lanes. So plan on Lawrence Ave to be under construction and all the pitfalls that surround that.
