A group of 20 Friends of Wolf Point met with 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly (pictured left), today at his office to discuss the future development planned at the Wolf Point site.

The unscheduled visit by the Friends group, all citizens of the 42nd Ward, was an opportunity to share their concerns about traffic, density and quality of life issues that could result from creating a high-rise development on the site.

it's not an outright admission of anti-highrise NIMBYism, but it sure sounds like they swing that way.
