“The mayor has talked about the fact that when she came into office, she made it a point to sit down with a variety of voices from Woodlawn, South Shore area, and her takeaway was the city really needed to step into a proactive role,” Novara said. “A lot of time has passed … there is some eagerness and impatience to ensure that there’s a framework in place so that people don’t get run over. And we have a history of that in this city, in certain neighborhoods, so it’s a valid concern.”
