The Southeast Evanston Association respectfully urges the City Council to uphold the recommendation of the Land Use Commission and deny the proposed 605 Davis Street planned development in its current form. The commission’s review was thorough, and its findings reflect the concerns of residents across Evanston who value fiscal responsibility, consistent zoning, and livable neighborhoods. Southeast Evanston residents contend daily with limited overnight parking, and this development would add significant new pressures that our neighborhoods are ill-equipped to absorb. The Southeast Evanston Association supports reinvestment in downtown Evanston, but only when projects are fiscally sound for all parties and consistent with adopted plans and codes, and respectful of the neighborhoods that surround them. John Kennedy is president of the Southeast Evanston Association.
