The 43rd Ward's new alderman, Michele Smith, isn't wasting any time. In her first City Council meeting since taking office, she proposed a zoning change for Lincoln Park Hospital to block the recently-approved Fresh Market grocery store from being built. According to the Sun-Times, construction is already underway on the store, and an attorney or Sandz Development says a zoning change wouldn't prevent them from continuing, because building permits have already been issued.
