<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The Lincoln Park Advisory Council stalled a resolution
opposing the proposed location of a $31 million Olympic tennis complex in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lincoln Park</st1:place></st1:City> Wednesday
evening after the local alderman said the door was open for a site change.<br>
<br>
The Chicago 2016 Olympic bid committee is willing to consider two alternative <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lincoln Park</st1:place></st1:City> sites, both
of them north of the current site at the Waveland courts, Ald. Helen Shiller
(46th) said at a fractious meeting of the advisory council. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
two other locations, both existing parking lots, "would have minimal impact
on traffic, other park activities, the surrounding communities and green
space," said Shiller, who favors the Olympics but opposes use of the
Waveland court site.<br>
<br>
She said she would push for a change <a
href="http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/04/ioc-calls-chicagos-games-bid-strong.html">if
Chicago is selected as the host city on Oct. 2</a>.<br>
<br>
But when contacted after the meeting, Chicago 2016 spokesman Patrick Sandusky
defended the current plan.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
Waveland location is the "natural home" of North Side tennis, he
said, and it will leave 20 new tennis courts as a legacy to the community.
