Chicago will hold a community meeting on a temporary casino at the Medinah Temple with Bally's officials Tuesday.
The historic Medinah Temple sits in Ald. Reilly's ward. He got a glimpse of Tuesday night's presentation, one he says provides few details about safety.The landmarked and empty Medinah Temple will be used as a temporary casino until Bally's permanent casino is ready to open at the Tribune Publishing site in River West.
"Their public safety plan is essentially a PowerPoint presentation with a handful of bullet points with no specifics about staffing, force levels, overtime, compensation... all this stuff neighbors want to know about," Reilly said.Reilly said neighbors also want to know about increased traffic, especially since Medinah doesn't have parking.
"Everybody is going to be working hard to make sure that it has the least amount of challenges for people possible," 27th Ward Ald. Walter Burnett said.
