We love museums but there must be a better place for this children’s museum somewhere else in Chicago. We have 6 children and 17 grandchildren --- we like children. This new museum needs to be very accessible by CTA and good FREE PARKING. If this was put to a referendum then I predict when a good other site is offered then this other site would be selected seventy percent.

I have used the fitness facilities and classes at Daley BiCentennial Plaza for may years, though you have done a lot to discourage me, such as not opening until after 9 am, and not fixing the leaky roof for 14 years. Despite its shabbiness, BiCentennial is still our neighborhood field house, for those of us who live or work downtown.

I all though I live in England, I have just been up along Grant Park via your 360'virtual map, on your District web site.
In your write up for the park, it says it was built by foresighted people to stop building on the area.
Please take heed of your fore fathers and mothers,they knew best, and please don't change your write for the park, it shows your great history of the area.
Have a wonderful 2010.

Most Chicago kids can't afford the admission price. Suburban children and tourists most likely could afford the price.
Our lake front, its nearness and magnificent sight, must remain open and free of buildings. This museum would set a precedent and it would be difficult to keep other such buildings out of the park, once the museum was allowed to build.

Let the park remain as a haven for families, for friends and for those who need a private place.
