Master Planned Development Draft Addendum
Here is a chance for your voice to be heard. Below is the link to the City’s Master Planned Development Draft Addendum which community groups and members of the general public have the opportunity to make comments about the Addendum.
DPD is accepting public comment on improved review and approval procedures for Chicago’s largest construction projects that were first presented to the Plan Commission at its meeting on Oct. 17, 2019. The proposed requirements would supplement existing protocols for Planned Development (PD) projects and create a “Master PD” designation that would apply to projects of a certain size and scope. The Master PD designation would be required for private projects that exceed 20 acres, 4 million square feet of space or 4,000 dwelling units, and for public projects that exceed 10 acres, 2.5 million square feet or 2,500 dwelling units.
The original public comment period has been extended as the request of various community groups, members of the general public, and members of the development community. All comments and questions should be emailed to [email protected] by Monday, Dec. 16, 2019. Click View:

Black Men Do Yoga Hosted by Dr. Obari Adéye Cartman
The Quarry Event Center
2423 E 75th St, Chicago, Illinois 60649 i avoid yoga because im not flexible enough, dont like being embarrassed. i realize that logic is backwards because yoga would make me more flexible but i still dont go. yoga spaces seem for women and for people that already do yoga. we are creating a space for me. and another guys that need to move, stretch, breathe, and slow down. you dont have to wear tights and say namaste. Peaceful Tranquility Realized will lead us through some movement and breathing exercises to help us learn to use our body to heal from the stress of being Black men in America. then you are welcome to stay after for #MANifestWellnessSundays from 1-3 where we drum and talk about life. this aint the new masculinity or white people stuff. this is as old & African as it gets.
the first month will be free99 (starting 10/20) and if it seems like a good idea to continue we will offer our instructor $5 per session. borrow your lady’s mat or just bring a towel and lets get this healing on.

SHORT VERSION:
· Queering the Parks + Year of Chicago Music portals are available through Night Out in the Parks
· Chicago Onscreen is accepting applications now through December 6th
· Night Out in the Parks is accepting applications now through December 10th
· Special Events Unit (Night Out) is currently hiring a full-time Program & Event Coordinator, application is live through December 11th [Details attached]
LONG VERSION:
Just a note to share the news that after a successful inaugural run of Queering the Parks this past year, we are excited to open it up to our broader community of collaborators, dreamers, artists and young people! QTP now exists as an application selection in the Night Out in the Parks portal, which is open now until December 10th. Speaking of, if you are doing community-oriented art/performance/humanities and want to connect with Chicagoans in the neighborhoods they live in through free public programming, check out Night Out in the Parks. This award-winning program brings a breathtakingly wide range of world-class performance and public programming to hundred of parks each year! NOITP will be participating in the city-wide Year of Chicago Music, so musicians are especially encouraged to consider applying. Lastly, next year will be the 6th year of Chicago Onscreen – a free, outdoor film festival that showcases the rich diversity of moving image work made in our city. I love this event and encourage fimmakers, programmers and producers to check out the application portal on FilmFreeway. And as always, let me know if you have any questions or want advice on any of the above.
In a related note, the Night Out in the Parks team AKA The Special Events Unit is currently hiring a Full-Time data-minded, emotionally intelligent unicorn. Ideal candidates would be, in the words of my colleague Krista Bryski Richard, “insanely organized, passionate, community driven programmers/administrators who want to be a part of a dynamite team.” Details on the position, including salary, are attached. Shortly, the Arts and Culture Unit (my team) will also be looking to fill some big shoes. Any day now, we will be hiring for a Full-Time program lead for the wildly popular sonic & media arts initiative known as Inferno. Let me know if you have anyone in mind (including yourself) for this position and I can be sure to let you know when it is posted. As always, people of color, indigenous folks, and artists with strong connections to the South and West sides are always strongly encouraged to apply. Both positions really require a driver’s license and would benefit greatly from access to a car. Heads up that CPkD does drug test upon the offer a position.
