Land for Sale?
Rumor out of 001:
- The city is trying to sell the 001st District parking lot! No joke. The buyer would have to build a parking garage for the district. Heard an email was sent out asking for count of the number of people that work each watch, the number of spaces needed for squad cars, the number of oversized vehicles, etc. First the tie clips an now this!! Let's see, you have mass transit, the Area Central Deputy, Central Detention and district personnel working out of the building. The shifts start at all different times. Say the land gets sold, where in the hell do people park while the construction is going on?!? And if the construction is anything like the building, it will be sinking into the ground within a year!! There's already a new elitist school going up right next door. If this doesn't show us that TPTB and the mayor doesn't give a shit about us, I don't know what will!! What politician has their grubby hands in this shit?
The footprint of the property was obviously an afterthought of sorts - no one expected the South Loop area to grow as quickly as it did.
Can anyone verify?

Sigh. They were taking count because they are issuing 2018 parking passes. No garage. No land sale. Take it from me, I’m the one who has to have the passes for 2018 ready and had the watches and units count....
The building is falling apart. Just sell the whole place as is. Let's go down to 21 Districts.
I work in 001 and I heard this from the 3rd watch Lieutenant. Honestly I'm all for it. Bunch of lazy cops park their cars and Winnebagos (not kidding ) in the lot, there's no where to park, people parking on 17th Street because they are too lazy to walk from the lot (dear God does this department need mandatory power tests annually). So if it's big enough who cares ? And as far as parking during construction, there's a streets and sanitation lot across the street, which maybe could be used for the time being.
100% true.

Trump could figure this out, but he don't
touch shit projects.
Money will control everything: pace of
construction, quality, start to finish.
Mr. Chicken Titts will get his cut at every
turn.
Build a parking garage where?
So I guess some connected special somebody might have to look for some paid parking for that piece of crap RV that never moves out of the back of the lot???
Just close it down and sell all of it. The Experts say we don't need any police. No police, No Police Offices!
If Dart can shutdown and bulldoze the county jails, why can't Rahm do that with District offices?
It isn't just land for sale in Chicago.
Also, there was some kind of a land-swap at the beginning of this deal. I can't remember the specifics, but it had to do with that Dearborn Village thing behind the station and the configuration of that development . Somebody do the homework on the (wife's a judge) builder. Name was Tom Snitzer.
The Parking lot is the best thing going for the 001st District. The building is unleveled. The sewer backs up in the female locker room. The showers are corroded. The water is polluted and in the summer nets are everywhere. To think that officers still make coffee using faucet water. Don’t trust the water. Cancer and acne breakouts are at an all time high.
Built on a dump site and many from 001 have come down with cancer.
That school construction site is in a landlocked position.
If it’s landlocked then where the hell would a new parking lot go for 001?
There’s no available land in the immediate vicinity.
Speaking of immediate vicinity this “elite school” is going up literally right next door to 001.... can you imagine traffic around 001 at start and dismissal times? The way parents just double and triple park and simply stop where they are so junior can get out/in?
Nightmare in the making!
Remember Rahm’s mantra: it’s for the children.
New 001st District lot will be built near Midway.
You’ll then take the Orange Line to vicinity of 001 and walk the rest of the way.
Rahm says sorry for the inconvenience but remember it’s for the children.
The city does not care. True city fashion they told us the city does not have to provide parking. Employees are forced to park on the street near where they pull their truck out from.
sell district 001 the auto pound/ junk yard once there was a political land grab money exchange
100% true.

So it has to be true since you're a supervisor and in the know. Finish up your log and go to sleep.
Same in 017! The parking has had a huge FOR SALE sign up for the past 6 months
The garage would be a nice place for the homeless to sleep.

Yawn to your sigh. It is true. The City is looking for a buyer for this piece of property. IF it actually happens, it will be hilarious trying to figure out where everyone will park during construction. What next?
Transfer out or take the bus, that's why you got a cta pass. Plenty of parking down the street at the Harrison District.
They have a CTA station right by HQ. Perhaps there's going to be an offsite parking area. You'll just take the train from there.
017 parking lot is for sale.
Reminds me of the city seling the CTA property for $1 and it was flipped into the lucrative shopping area on North Avenue. But remember most of us are lazy and we do not have business savvy or education to make these deals. Go Rahm.
I love the thought of that School being built directly across the street from where 001 releases all it’s prisoners!

The same shit in 019..we have a parking lot for visitors (those who need reports) and for the officers. We should be thankful we have a garage but noooooo...there are lazy ass cops who everyday have to park in the visitors garage because they are too FUCKIN lazy to park where they are supposed too. These are the same lazy cops who always have to go where they give us FREE food! And of course you can bet they would NEVER pass an annual power test.
That new grammer school that is being built next to the 1st district station is literally just steps away from the door where bonded out prisoners leave from. Its maybe 75 feet away at most. Momma and daddy best keep an eye on your little ones.
Call the EPA

So true wonder what the total number is? I personally know of 2 coppers with stage 4 (Last stage) cancer who worked there! How many coppers who worked in the old 008 3515 w 63rd developed cancer also? Now the new buildings are causing the same sickness! Shoddy construction,inferior materials thanks rahm and the rest!
The east lot in 017 is posted "For Sale".

That damn RV has been in the 001st Dist. lot for years!
It looks like something out of Breaking Bad.
get the wrecking ball
let 18 , 9 and 2 absorb the small geographic area
I think the property (plots) has been for sale ever since they built 001.
Seven (7) Exempt - Non Taxable plots exist from 12 W. 18th St (17-21-405-017-0000) to 32 W. 18th (17-21-405-005-0000)
Zoning, size and use is probably the issue and not for a parking lot.
Not an attractive or lucrative piece of land as it sits.
$5 says the entire square block & that ecologically dated haphazard low bidder patchwork building is probably going to be razed...for residential.
Check who’s the AlderThief for a clue.
That makes for one mighty nice package deal.
Not if but when, there’s probably a DV Urban Property scam in the works.
Close 018 and 001, build a brand new multiplex building somewhere inconvenient, a former CHA rubble lot or landfill far away from any expressway and where gentrification will be decades away.
Mid 2018 is a good time to announce another new modern Police facility coming to the underserved community, bringing jobs and services for all.
Don't forget the school is being built on the receiving dock side of Marianos. Food delivery trucks are in and out all day. The lot is also filled up by citizens parking and taking the bus downtown. When it rains the lot floods and the water sits outside the higher sewers,
Man I'm not in 001 anymore but I had not suffered from acne for 10 years I started working there and i started breaking out...my partner alsi got cancer
Rahm better review current contracts or he may be paying another multi million dollar fine to the Parking Meter Folks.
I wouldn’t believe a word out of the idiot, I mean 3rd Watch Lieutenant’s mouth. Lt MC, he’s weird as sh!t and he’s a clown.

Yes, Sparky, that’s correct. Being a supervisor in patrol often makes me privy to advance knowledge of impending decisions made at the district level. That’s how things work.
I apologize if sharing and/or confirming information for your feeble mind is too much for you to handle.
Consider yourself counseled on my “log”.
Ass.
Is there a wy to send you the letter, without being outted? I'm not very good at this cumputer stuff.
4th District station has a boiler room full of crumbling Asbestos tape hanging off pipes and floating in the air mere feet from roll call room and locker rooms. Plenty of officers there struck with health problems including cancer. Not to mention the pet coke floating around in the outside air or the continuous smell of vomit on the eastside. All our facilities in this city are horrible. Terrible construction, poorly laid out, no parking, lack security, and terrible locations that interrupt police to respond to incidents in a timely manner. Good luck getting out of 19th District parking garage after a Cubs game to respond to a 10-1. Every decision is made by half wits and morons and we all suffer because of it.

Always a drama queen. Always have to throw in the extra crap. Happens all the time. Your in the garage and you need to respond to a 10-1
Always the worse case scenario. How about the terrorists attacking and you are the only car able to respond and you are in the garage after the Cubs game.

Maybe 2 and 18 but not 009.
009 absorbed Chinatown from 021 already n is within the top 3 largest districts geographically in the city.
Not to mention they’re up there in calls for service, murders, shootings etc. .... 009 is already stretched dangerously thin as it is.
That new grammer school that is being built next to the 1st district station is literally just steps away from the door where bonded out prisoners leave from.
That wouldn't bother the parents in the least. Want to boil their blood?
Say "Gun store."

The shitbirds leaving the lockup will treat Mom & Dad lining up in their cars for Jr. as if they’re their own personal Uber and Lyft.
Gee what could go wrong here?
I read the email from Facilities Mgmt. The contractor would have to build a garage for CPD use. The garage would be crumbling, dripping and cracking within 2 years, of course.
Rahms selling the land around north and throop also
