The Demolition cost will be more than the $400,000 offered by the Dunes group.
If the Supporters who want to raise fund to renovate and operate the building give the $15,000 a year the city said it cost to maintain the property -let them have time to show they create a place on the lakefront for all-and NOT funded by the taxpayers.- Unlike the $56,000,000 Robert Crown Project.

~~Over the past 6 weeks, Northwestern, the neighbors, and the city worked to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution for the parking lot lighting and alley. I would like to thank Alan Anderson, NU Neighborhood Relations, and John D’Angelo, NU Facilities Management, for working so well with the neighbors. Northwestern has been easy to work with during the process, they have been receptive to neighbor concerns and willing to change some design points. The neighbors have been willing to compromise to help NU meet what they need to accomplish.

From the Atlantic CITYLAB website by Lydia Lee posted Feb. 6, 2015:
"In most places, sidewalk snow-clearing is left to individual homeowners. In Ann Arbor, one neighborhood decided to pool its resources instead."
The SnowBuddy tractor, driven and funded by volunteers, clears all 12 miles of sidewalk of the Water Hill neighborhood of Ann Arbor, Michigan. (Paul Tinkerhess)
Saw the above in a tweet from City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz this morning. Thought it worth sharing.

No Sale of Public Parks and Lake Front Property- Selling the Harley Clarke Mansion and approx 40,000-100,000 sq ft of Lake Front land would be detrimental to Evanston. Lakefront property is a finite, irreplaceable natural asset that, once gone, cannot be reclaimed. Evanston must maintain ownership and control of land and properties it owns, especially on and near the lakefront. These are public treasures, once lost, and are gone forever. We should guard and treasure what little lakefront the community owns. The Harley-Clarke Mansion site is no exception.
