A construction permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to create a surface parking lot at 1314 South Pulaski Road in North Lawndale. The permit, which came through on March 13 following an application filed on August 6, 2024, calls for 12 parking spaces next to Work Of His Hands Ministries.

The permit names Frank Brim as the site owner; Tracey Brim is the pastor of the church. Aptus is listed as the architect of record, while LA Keys Construction will be the general contractor. Build cost is estimated to be $50,000. The parking spaces replace a vacant lot to the north of the church.

In addition to the 12 parking spaces, public transit is also accessible nearby. The Route 53 CTA bus stops both northbound and southbound at the corner of Pulaski and 13th Street. For east/west travel, the Route 12 bus is available less than two blocks north at Roosevelt Road. The Pulaski Pink Line elevated platform is about six blocks south; the Route 53 bus can be used as a connection to and from the church.

A surface parking lot is making it to the site? Must be struggling to find something to write.
Garbage comment

And yesterday Citadel announced they will be building a 1,800,000 square supertall , 1600 feet tall , on 52nd Street which will have Citadel occupying 800,000 square feet .
In this parking lot?
It’s not necessarily what I would pick for this site but at least it replaces another surface parking lot.
