The Lake Forest City Council will not vote on the Forest Park Master Plan at its meeting on Monday night, but the agenda does indicate that Mayor James J. Cowhey Jr. will talk about the Plan during the meeting's "Reports of City Officers."
Several GazeboNews sources indicated the Council will form a Forest Park commission to further investigate the issues that have divided many members of the community over whether Forest Park should be renovated or not. City Manager Robert Kiely said the formation of a new commission is a possibility, but he could not confirm this.
The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 220 Deerpath Road, Lake Forest. There will be a public comment session. You also can watch it live on Comcast channel 17.

Please note - in the proposed plan, the benches in these pictures would be removed.
