Loyola Park Pathways Repaired (No Thanks to Joe Moore)

Nice! Yesterday, a crew from the Chicago Park Department repaved the pathways in Loyola Park.

The pathways had been in severe disrepair for years, and posed many hazards to bicyclists and pedestrians alike.

Ah, the smell of fresh asphalt! That's progress, folks, and the crew did a great job.

This would probably have been done years ago if 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore had any sway with Mayor Daley. The mayor hates Joe Moore.

I'm told that they will paint the paths next week.

Even Lake Westgard was repaired (bottom photo).

Unfortunately, the dangerous Westgard Canal Zone remains, with its deep gouges in the earth.

In the bottom photo, a woman with a cane is seen carefully negotiating her way through the dangerous hazard that was illegally dug last summer by a local mechanics lien lawyer.
