Obama Center constantly receives barriers for its being built. Seems shigiddy to me!

The Obama Presidential Center will change characteristics of a stretch of boulevards that qualify the area for the National Register of Historic Places, according to an updated report on the project’s impact on the surrounding area.

The final report, prepared for the Federal Highway Administration, said the center will “alter, directly and indirectly, characteristics” of the Chicago Park Boulevard System, which includes parts of the Jackson Park Historic Landscape District and Midway Plaisance.

The boulevard system was not listed as a historic property in a previous impact report.

Components of the project that would harm the historic landscape include “proposed changes to the Midway Plaisance, [Obama Presidential Center] site development, and certain roadway closures,” the report said.
