As very concerned voting community residents, we request that Alderman Rod Sawyer address the chaos outside of The 50 Yard Line before it results in yet another Chicago crime scene. The amount of people congregating in that area along East 75th Street on any given Saturday night has become a nuisance and an explosive situation waiting to happen. People are sitting on top of and inside cars consuming alcohol and marijuana, parking in unauthorized lots, and leaving trash. In addition, there are scantily-clad women parading themselves in the middle of the street. All of this disorderly behavior is contributing to slow-moving traffic, an increased amount of noise and trash, and an unbecoming reputation of a place where people can simply hang out. As voting residents, we are not accustomed to this type of rowdiness and the disruption of our community life will not be tolerated. We ask that this situation be dealt with immediately before a violent incident occurs as a result of this unruly behavior. Alderman Sawyer, please do something about this volatile situation now before it's too late!

The silence from the Alderman's office is heavy but it does not mean we are stopping. I have been spending my nights recording the chaos to ensure there is a paper trail when they finally decide to pay attention.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only one exhausted by the chaos outside my window. The weight of these signatures proves that people are finally noticing the danger building on our block.

We all grew up here together in a family orientated environment. This needs to come back to the neighborhood.
As a minister in the community interested in positively impacting the community, I believe in utilizing preventative measures for safety and resourcefulness. If we curb this behavior now, we can spend more time working on the ills so entrenched in our community.
Something certainly needs to be done before it worsens. People in our neighborhood are becoming prisoners in their homes because of this type of activity.
This is a situation that needs the attention of our alderman; he is the person we selected to represent our interests. We should not have to witness this zoo every week-end.
Didn't Commander and Deputy Chief Fred Waller address this issue at the May Park Manor Neighbors meeting
Do something tired of paying taxes and can’t park Going to the city on this
SMH!!!!

This will be a challenge but not impossible since Alderman Sawyer is a Champion for the Lounge & Saloon owners. They are his biggest supporters. You can probably find Sawyer sitting on a Bar Stool at the Apartment Lounge as We SPEAK.......
