Especially helpful were the Freshman Girls Volleyball Team group and their mentor Tina D. The crew from DPW were great and a lot got done. Thanks to Nathan and those guys for making a really good start at getting the park back in shape. It shouldn't take more than another day with the front loader to have it all cleared and back to where it was, and next year when it grows in - maybe with a little seeding and help from DPW - it will look once again like the Swan Pond Park of old. Amen. </p> http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/riverside-for-sale-on-ebay/page/5#post-5091 Tue, 08 May 2007 17:28:41 +0000 Elisa 5091@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ <p>I forgot that I had asked about the Reagan residence on here - I did find out that it is 82 Nuttall. In the 30s, someone chopped down the mansion to make it very box-like. It is still a pretty house (in my opinion), but it looks nothing like the original. Interestingly enough there is a neat website from the Reagan descendents which is fascinating to read. Lots of stories about growing up in that house and in Riverside. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bigballoonmusic.com/goddardreagan/ReaganHotel.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bigballoonmusic.com/goddardreagan/ReaganHotel.html</a></p> <p>After you read that, click on the home page and scroll down to the Riverside section. </p> http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/riverside-for-sale-on-ebay/page/5#post-5084 Tue, 08 May 2007 16:28:36 +0000 MikeT 5084@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ <p>Salt Creek Rierside POst Card - ca <strong>1906 </strong></p> <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1906-Salt-Creek-Riverside-IL-ILLINOIS-ILL-Postcard-old_W0QQitemZ260115856795QQihZ016QQcategoryZ20207QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1906-Salt-Creek-Riverside-IL-ILLINOIS-ILL-Postcard-old_W0QQitemZ260115856795QQihZ016QQcategoryZ20207QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting</a></p> <p>Police Patch ca ????</p> <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Riverside-Illinois-IL-Police-Patch-Colorful-Sunset-Blue_W0QQitemZ190110589942QQihZ009QQcategoryZ39682QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Riverside-Illinois-IL-Police-Patch-Colorful-Sunset-Blue_W0QQitemZ190110589942QQihZ009QQcategoryZ39682QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting</a></p> <p>Ambulance - <strong>1956</strong></p> <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/mint-1956-Chevrolet-NOMAD-Riverside-IL-Fire-Dept_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6753QQihZ001QQitemZ110122031501QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/mint-1956-Chevrolet-NOMAD-Riverside-IL-Fire-Dept_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6753QQihZ001QQitemZ110122031501QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting</a></p> <p>Blythe Park ad - <strong>1951</strong></p> <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1951-Vintage-Ad-RIVERSIDE-IL-Blythe-Park-School-Bldg_W0QQitemZ220084494207QQihZ012QQcategoryZ37835QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1951-Vintage-Ad-RIVERSIDE-IL-Blythe-Park-School-Bldg_W0QQitemZ220084494207QQihZ012QQcategoryZ37835QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting</a> </p> http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/edc-resolution-from-jan-4-mtg/page/5#post-4808 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:36:39 +0000 KimJ 4808@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ <p><strong>How will EDC VOTE TODAY?</strong></p> <p>Posted 3 months ago #<br /> DougPollock<br /> Member</p> <p>Pending the posting of the Resolution (perhaps it will be on the Village website), as I understand it, the EDC Resolution supporting the TIF included the following conditions:<br /> - There should be no use of eminent domain for residential properties;<br /> - Central School and Hauser Jr High should be added to the TIF District;<br /> - Any expenditure on Swan pond should be limited to repairing the wall and steps and to drainage improvements.<br /> - The Board should clarify the priorities of the TOD plan.</p> <p>I understand and support the condition to add the schools to the TIF so that TIF revenues can be spent on the schools. They have also recommended that the TIF not be approved without the support of the Joint Review Board. This is significant in that I believe the Village legally can do the TIF without the support of the Joint Review Board. So if this Resolution is agreed to by the Village Board, this clause will give the school districts full control to make sure they get whatever they need. If the Board agrees, any concerns about the impact on the schools should be directed to the school board rather than the Village Board. If the school board supports TIF unconditionally and then comes back to the taxpayers for more money, they would have some explaining to do.</p> <p>The wild card right now seems to be the last bullet point in the EDC Resolution - The Plan. Given the purview of the EDC it is appropriate for them to limit their recommendation to a general recommendation rather than make specific recommendations on what the plan should contain. The plan as written has a very good "menu of items" but needs to clarify its priorities and to specify redevelopment areas. I think there would be broad agreement on which properties the Village would consider for replacement, which properties would be suitable for restoration, and which properties should be preserved. I see no reason not to specify this in the plan. </p> <p>In regards to priorities, the Action Matrix in Section 6 of the TOD plan appears to be the primary concern. I get the impression that the priorities listed in this matrix are not commonly shared by the community. I for one do not agree with some of these priorities and would like the opportunity to argue for some changes. </p> <p>Posted 3 months ago # </p> <p>*So, it is official, the board of trustees ignores the EDC recommendations as well. At least the board is consistent. I wonder how the EDC will vote today on the TIF now that their recommendations will not be followed, ie. ED, "make schools whole", remove Swan Pond, etc. </p> <p>What I find unbelievable, is that the board ignores the volunteer group (with TIF professionals, bankers on it) and chooses to listen to the paid (for profit) consultant instead. </p> http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/come-on-riversiders-save-this-tree/page/6#post-4163 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 19:39:52 +0000 spatny 4163@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ <p>Look at all the things you can learn about on the Forum.
