Only days after North Side residents took their demands to the Board of the Chicago Park District, basketball rims have been replaced at the Broncho Billy Playlot near Magnolia & Montrose.
The rims had been removed by order of new Alderman James Cappleman, claiming it was a response to crime, despite little evidence of a connection between crime and the basketball rims.
Residents organized a petition drive, got the support of many community leaders and took their effort to get the rims back to the Park District Board on Oct. 12.
