Chicago Park District Public Artist - RFP by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS- Public Artist: Julia de Burgos Park
The Chicago Park District (CPD) is requesting proposals from artist or a collective of artists to work in cooperation with CPD and other entities (i.e. community members and/or organizations) on designing, creating, and installing educational and high quality artwork for Julia de Burgos Park, to be completed by August 2012.
The Julia de Burgos Park, located in the Logan Square Community, is adjacent to The Bloomingdale and is one of five parks that will serve as an access point. In January 2012, CPD named the park for Julia de Burgos. Born in Puerto Rico, Julia de Burgos (1914-1953) is considered one of the greatest poets of Latin America. A feminist activist who lived during a time when women were expected to fulfill traditional roles, Julia deBurgos wrote poems that wove themes of intimacy, the land, and the social struggle of the oppressed. She lived in New York for more than a decade. Even though she died at the young age of 39, she published 3 books of poetry that have received international recognition.

Bloomingdale Trails Update by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
Preliminary design for the Bloomingdale Trail project is under way.
Work has begun to develop concepts to convert a 2.65-mile unused, elevated railway line to a multi-use linear park for recreational users and commuters. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has identified the Bloomingdale Trail as a priority to reach his goals of creating a world-class bike network, improving the pedestrian environment and creating new open space.
Public input will be a key component in creating plans to redevelop the Bloomingdale Line, which runs along Bloomingdale Avenue (approximately 1800 North) from Ashland to Ridgeway. CDOT is leading the design, engineering and construction of the project in close cooperation with the Chicago Park District.

Txtng & Driving... It Can Wait by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
I just took the pledge not to Text and Drive. When I look at the last text
message I sent, I can tell you without question that it would not have been worth sending when I was driving. Reading or responding to a text message while driving could cause a serious accident, possibly one that could take a life ... or several lives. When you look at it this way, there's no text that can't wait.
