KELLAR BRANCH SAGA SUMMARY, PART 2 Kellar Branch Saga Summary, Part 2. On Tuesday, May 27, 1997, the City of Peoria made an official shift in its policy toward the Kellar Branch rail line.

ADDENDUM: REST IN PEACE, BILLY DENNISBilly Dennis
It was Billy Dennis who first got me into blogging. I had found his blog, “Peoria Pundit,” and was inspired to do my own reporting and publishing in a similar vein. Billy was generous and helped me learn the ins and outs of the blogosphere. He was always encouraging, even when he didn’t agree with me, and was one of my biggest supporters during the time I was blogging. He also encouraged me many times to start blogging again. Well, I’m not ready to start blogging again, but I couldn’t let Billy’s passing go unrecognized here at The Peoria Chronicle. Billy was the “Blogfather,” as we bloggers called him. He died suddenly of heart failure at the age of 53 on April 3. You can read his obituary at Legacy.com.
For those in the blogging world, we’ll be having a BILLY DENNIS MEMORIAL BLOGGER BASH at Whitey’s Tip Top Inn, 2601 N. Sheridan Rd., at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 11. Everyone is invited to come lift a glass (of Diet Pepsi, of course–Billy’s favorite drink) in Billy’smemory.
My condolences to the Dennis family. May you find comfort in your memories of Billy, and knowing how many lives he touched through hiscitizen journalism.

THE END
Here lies PeoriaChronicle.com. 2005-2013. May you rest in peace. The world will little note nor long remember what was said here. But I had a great time writing, reading, and conversing. It was fun while it lasted, and I appreciate all the friendships and support I have received during my brief sojourn here in cyberspace. Thank you. Perhaps one day I will come back and write again, but for now I’m too involved at home, at work, and at school to devote any more time to this endeavor. Just writing this good-bye note is wearing me out. God bless you all, and have a very happy new year!Sincerely,
C. J. Summers

BOOKSTORE MARVELS AT AMAZON.COM’S DUBIOUS SUCCESS Westminster Theological Seminary’s bookstore almost went out of business last Christmas, largely because they have a hard time competing with Amazon.com’s prices, which are so low that even Amazon itself can’t make a profit. In a recent email to their customers, they lamented: > Our great challenge is that we continue to exist in an environment > where Amazon — the industry leader — is allowed by Wall Street > to function without regard for their short-term profitability.

Small bookstores and online commerce rivals aren’t the only ones puzzled by Wall Street. Recent articles in Forbes and The Guardian also show surprise that investors continue to have seemingly unwavering faith in Jeff Bezos, despite little or no explanation from him for the losses. Will this bubble ever burst? Whether it does or doesn’t, what will the long-term effect be on consumers? October 11th, 2013 | Category: Nation/World| 6 comments
- (COMMENTS ARE CLOSED) WHY A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER MAIN IS A BAD IDEA On Thursday, the City of Peoria held a public meeting to discuss ways to redesign the intersection of Main and University. A hundred-year-old water main recently broke there, and while patching has been done, there need to be more extensive repairs made that requires the whole intersection be rebuilt. Since it’s being redone anyway, this seems like the right time to talk about ways it can be improved — to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. One of the suggestions made at the meeting was to construct a pedestrian bridge. The Journal Star reported it this way:
> But to the pleasant surprise of Rogers, > some forum attendees advocated pedestrian overpasses, perhaps > positioned away from the intersection, as a way to improve traffic> flow.
>
> “Nobody has to stop driving — just go over the bridge across the > street,” said Jose Lozano, a Bradley professor and area resident. > “It’s safer for drivers and pedestrians, and a lot cheaper.” With all due respect, this is a terrible idea. Here’s why: * MOTORISTS STILL HAVE TO STOP DRIVING. The contention that “nobody has to stop driving” is a real puzzler. For traffic not to stop, it would take more than a pedestrian bridge — it would take a vehicular bridge that separates the grade of Main and University, allowing Main street traffic to travel over or under University, in order to allow traffic to flow unimpeded. Short of that, there’s still going to be an intersection, and it’s still going to be signalized. And providing for safe navigation of that intersection will still need to be done. * IT DOESN’T MAKE THE STREET SAFER FOR PEDESTRIANS. First of all, we have to think of the street and not merely the intersection in isolation. Building a pedestrian bridge and giving traffic the idea that “nobody has to stop driving” will put pedestrians who don’t use the pedestrian bridge at risk, such as those who cross Main at Maplewood or cross University at Bradley Avenue. They’re not going to walk all the way to Main and University to take the pedestrian bridge. They will continue to cross at grade, and encouraging faster traffic will put their safety at risk. And, let’s face it, many college students (or professors) are not going to go out of their way to use a pedestrian bridge when the street is only sixty feet wide, and especially where there’s a walk signal. * IT DOESN’T MAKE THE STREET SAFER FOR BICYCLISTS. The intersection needs to be redesigned not only to make things safer for pedestrians, but to make things safer for all users. That includes bicyclists, which would not benefit at all from a pedestrian bridge no matter where it is placed. Encouraging faster traffic where there are already narrow lanes and even narrower sidewalks will put their safetyat risk.
* IT DOESN’T MAKE THE STREET SAFER FOR THE DISABLED. You can’t ride your wheelchair up the stairs to a pedestrian bridge and back down the other side. Unless they’re going to make the pedestrian bridge handicapped-accessible, which seems like it would be a challenge given the space constraints in that area (ramps? elevator?), the street will be made even more hostile to the disabled who try totraverse it.
* IT DOESN’T MAKE THE STREET SAFER FOR CARS. There are no small number of vehicular accidents at this intersection. Even if all pedestrians used the proposed bridge, it would not make the intersection safer for vehicles which would arguably pass through the intersection even faster if there were no pedestrians to worry about. Also, if the pedestrian bridge were not enclosed, it would give delinquent children an easy place to drop objects onto cars that passbeneath.
* IT PERPETUATES THE MYTH THAT THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY IS FOR CARS ONLY. The impetus for this forum was a presentation on “complete streets” that was given to the City Council a couple of meetings ago. The whole idea behind “complete streets” is that streets are a public right-of-way, and as such they are for everyone, not just motorists. According to the National Complete Streets Coalitionwebsite
:
> Complete Streets are streets for everyone. They are designed and > operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, > bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. > Complete Streets make it easy to cross the street, walk to shops, > and bicycle to work….>
> Creating Complete Streets means transportation agencies must change > their approach to community roads. By adopting a Complete Streets > policy, communities direct their transportation planners and > engineers to routinely design and operate the entire right of way to > enable safe access for all users, regardless of age, ability, or > mode of transportation. This means that every transportation project > will make the street network better and safer for drivers, transit > users, pedestrians, and bicyclists – making your town a better> place to live.
A pedestrian bridge completely misses the mark of this vision. It perpetuates the idea that the right-of-way is primarily, if not solely, the domain of automobiles, which are presumed to have a natural right to unimpeded travel, and all other users of the roadway are intruders. This kind of thinking needs to stop. The right-of-way is public land and pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and the disabled have just as much right of access to it as motorists, and we need to learn how to share the right-of-way as equals. That’s the kind of vision this intersection reconstruction should be striving for. A better alternative that was presented at the meeting is the idea of a raised table. In this scenario, the whole intersection is raised, which will require cars to slow down in order to enter and exit the intersection. This makes the intersection safer for everyone, and also makes the street safer. When the light turns yellow at an intersection, there are always those motorists (I’ve even done it myself, I admit) who speed up to make the light rather than slow down. A raised intersection would virtually eliminate that. Cars approaching the intersection would always have to slow down regardless of whatcolor the light is.
Whatever solution is found for the intersection, it should balance the needs of all users and take the entire context of that intersection into consideration. A pedestrian bridge fails on all counts. It should be eliminated from consideration. September 27th, 2013 | Category: City of Peoria, Streets

- (COMMENTS ARE CLOSED) CANDIDATE OBAMA VS. PRESIDENT OBAMA ON PRESIDENTIAL POWER After listening to President Obama’s speech this afternoon regarding Syria, I read an article in the newspaper. I imagine the national pundits have already made note of the contradiction I discovered, but I don’t listen to a lot of talk radio, so it struck me as a profoundabout-face.
Here’s what Candidate Obama told the Boston Globe in December 2007 (which was quoted in an AP story I read in the Journal Star this morning): > The President does not have power under the Constitution to > unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does > not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. But today, President Obama had something different to say(emphasis mine):
> Now, after careful deliberation, I have decided that the United > States should take military action against Syrian regime targets. > Yet, while I BELIEVE I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CARRY OUT THIS > MILITARY ACTION WITHOUT SPECIFIC CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION, I know > that the country will be stronger if we take this course, and our > actions will be even more effective. So Candidate Obama believed the President does not have the power to authorize military action unilaterally, but President Obama does believe the President has the authority to take military action unilaterally. What has changed since 2007? Well, obviously, Obama is now President! It appears that the power of the Presidency has changedObama’s mind.

- (COMMENTS ARE CLOSED) CHRONICLE PREDICTIONS OF 2009 COME TRUE IN 2013 The Journal Star reports:
> Attendance was lower and the red ink was deeper than expected during > the Peoria Riverfront Museum’s first year. …Board leaders > pointed to a growing realization that the original White Oaks > consultant study done prior to construction of the museum didn’t > offer realistic projections. It wasn’t lower and deeper than expected by _this_ publication. The Peoria Chronicle analyzed museum attendance projections back in January 2009 and concluded they were wildly optimistic. This site predicted the actual attendance figures would be at least 22% lower than the numbers touted by museum officials. In a report given to the Peoria County Board, museum officials disclosed that attendance is actually 24.3% below projections. The non-IMAX theater attendance is 45.8% below expectations. That’s significant because much of the hoped-for profitability of the museum was tied to projected revenues from the theater. When museum officials decided to go with a generic “Giant Screen Theater” instead of a promised IMAX-brand theater, this publication also predicted that that decision would result in lower theater attendance and be a bigger blow to museum revenues than lower attendance to the exhibits. Indeed, overall earned revenue is 46.8% below expectations. Well, the good news for museum folks is that no one will be held accountable for these gross miscalculations, and the county will continue to receive your tax money to pay off the bonds used to build this white (gray?) elephant.

(COMMENTS ARE CLOSED) JOURNAL STAR CUTS MORE CONTENT Peoria’s newspaper of record, the Journal Star, continues its death spiral as it announces today that it is cutting still more content from the paper. Executive Editor Dennis Anderson writes in a “Note to Readers” in Monday’s edition: > The format of the Monday Journal Star is changing starting today.>
> The newspaper will have two sections on Mondays. The A section > continues to house national and world news. Added to the expanded A > section is Local & State, which appears on Page 3. The A section > also contains the TV page, obituaries, police and courts news, > matters of record, the Leisure & Advice page and weather, located on > the back page of this section, and other features. The Comics page > also is in A section today.>
> Sports is at the front of the B section today. Also inside the B > section are classifieds.>
> The Opinion page will no longer be published on Mondays. It returns> on Tuesday.
The editor apparently didn’t feel any need to explain the reason for this reduction in content to his readers who are not, of course, getting any commensurate cut in their subscription rate. But then, the Journal Star stopped caring about its readers a long time ago. The removal of the Forum section today (part of the Opinion page) illustrates the paper’s complete disregard for its bread and butter. Given the staffing cuts (and attrition) and the resulting, inexorable reduction in content, it won’t be long until the Journal Star is nothing more than an ad circular.

- (COMMENTS ARE CLOSED) TO MY FRIEND, GARY SANDBERGDear Gary,
It’s too bad you missed the All-Star Game Tuesday night. You would have loved it. The American League won, and Mariano Rivera got a standing ovation. It would have brought tears to your eyes. You know, despite being an obnoxious Yankees fan, I always appreciated the fact that you were, above all, a baseball fan. There are so few of us around these days. Everyone (and especially ESPN) is into football and basketball. You’d think with 30 teams playing 162 games each year that there would be plenty of baseball to talk about on sports shows, but baseball always seems to get short shrift. You always enjoyed watching a game no matter who was playing (even the Cubs — it was always fun to see them lose), and I’m the same way. I’ll miss meeting you at Whiteys to watch a game over pizza. I’m glad you got to see the Yankees one more time — and even make the highlight reel! That was pretty cool seeing the home run ball bounce just a few seats to the right of you in Yankee stadium. Too bad it wasn’t the Yankees who hit the home run. Ha ha. Hey, you can’twin them all.
Remember last year when you found out I was going to the Heart of Illinois Fair and you asked me to pick up some salt water taffy for you from the guy who sets up near the front gate? I remembered that this year, and I picked some up for you again. I even drove by your place Thursday night to drop it off as a surprise, but all the lights were off. It looked like no one was home, so I drove on. I was hoping you were there because my wife and son were in the car, and I wanted them to see the work you had been doing on your apartment. My son especially would have loved the fire pole you were putting in. I thought it was strange that you hadn’t responded to my texts and appeared not to be home, but you’ve taken unplanned trips before, so I wasn’t _too_ worried. I figured you’d get back to me soon with tales of how your phone was lost or broken, or how you were out riding on Route 66 and didn’t hear the phone ring. You always had a greatstory to tell.
The story my wife thought was so funny was the one you told when we met you at the Garden Street Cafe for breakfast. You know, the one about mailing that package to Colt in Macau, and all the different ways you had to repack it and compress it until it met the size restrictions? And how exorbitant the cost was? You really had us in stitches by the end of that one; it was almost too ridiculous tobelieve.
The cars that you had were a real hoot, too. My favorites were the Austin-Healey Sprites you would drive in the summer when you weren’t on your motorcycle. They are impossibly small; I still can’t believe you could fit into them. And they were so low to the ground! I remember you saying you really noticed the city’s lack of infrastructure maintenance in that car because you could feel every bump and see every deteriorating curb. Your ability to get them running and keep them running was pretty ingenious. You were the last of the shade-tree mechanics. Everyone knows you as the guy who (supposedly) always votes “no” on the City Council, and always stands up for the citizens when it seems like the rest of the council only stands up for the developers and the movers and shakers of the community. I always appreciated you holding everyone’s feet to the fire, even if you were the lone voice crying the wilderness. It was nice to know someone at City Hall was listening and fighting for the little guy. That’s what made you a hero to many. I always tried to encourage you to keep up the good fight, not that you needed the encouragement. I wonder who will stand up for the citizens of Peoria now. I wonder a lot of things. Right now, I wonder why you insisted on working in that building without air conditioning in the kind of heat we’ve had — especially after you just had heart surgery not that long ago. You’re smarter than that. What was it? You just like living on the edge? Like riding your motorcycle without a helmet? Or walking to the Election Commission just seconds before they closed to turn in your nominating petitions? We didn’t agree on everything. We rooted for different baseball teams. We differed on gun control. We were poles apart on religion. But we were friends. You were always very encouraging to me and very kind to my family. You were always genuine. No one ever had to wonder where they stood with you. You let them know in no uncertain terms. I always appreciated that kind of honesty, even though you probably took it a bit too far sometimes. I guess there’s nothing left to say except farewell, and I’ll miss you. And the Yankees are in fourth place, but the Cardinals are infirst.
Your friend,
C. J.

(COMMENTS ARE CLOSED) CITY APPARENTLY VIOLATES OPEN MEETINGS ACT; “WATCHDOG” MEDIADON’T QUESTION IT
I was dumbfounded to read this in the “watchdog” press this morning (emphasis added): > City Manager Patrick Urich confirmed Friday afternoon that the City > Council ordered funding for Officer Jeff Wilson’s legal fees > withdrawn AS PART OF THE MARATHON EXECUTIVE SESSION Tuesday> night….
>
> The city decided to continue funding Wilson’s legal fees in June > when Nicholson filed for an extension of the no stalking order. That > decision apparently was overturned by the council on Tuesday DURING > THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. What’s wrong with this picture? If it’s being accurately reported, it’s a blatant violation of the Open Meetings Act,
which requires any final action by a public body to be made in open session. Executive session is for discussion purposes. If the City Council is taking a vote or making any kind of decision (i.e., final action) as a public body on anything — including matters of legal funding or non-funding — it must take such vote in open session at a properly-noticed meeting. There are legal ramifications to this that can impact the City. According to the Open Meetings Act: “No final action may be taken at a closed meeting. Final action shall be preceded by a public recital of the nature of the matter being considered and other information that will inform the public of the business being conducted” (5 ILCS 120/2e). If the City were sued over this violation, the court could “declar null and void any final action taken at a closed meeting in violation of this Act” (5 ILCS 120/3c). All of this adds up to more legal fees for the City, which means more taxpayer money beingspent.
That the City would play fast and loose with the Open Meetings Act is, alas, no surprise. But I can’t believe this is being reported by the “watchdog” press so matter-of-factly, completely without question, as if this is standard operating procedure. The Open Meetings Act is often skirted via legal loopholes, and the Journal Star turns a blind eye to such shenanigans, even though such skirting is clearly not in the public’s interest. Yet here is not a legal loophole, but an obvious, blatant, and admitted violation. Did this not raise any red flags at 1 News Plaza?строителство на къщи July 13th, 2013 | Category: City of Peoria, Open Meetings
