Chicago Park District Superintendent Rosa Escareño joins WTTW’s “Chicago Tonight” to discuss the Millennium Park rules and her new position leading the Park District.
“This is about safety and making sure we are doing everything to keep our youth and our families safe,” Escareño said.rules released Thursday Visitors to the park should be prepared to present government-issued identification cards upon request, according to the rules. An adult who is at least 21 years old can accompany no more than four people under 18, according to the rules.
The other policy change announced by Lightfoot in the wake of Seandell’s death amid the outrage and grief it created faces a key test Friday morning. Lightfoot wants to exempt teens “participating in, or returning home immediately after, a ticketed or sponsored event and has documentary evidence of their attendance at such event, e.g., a ticket stub or wristband with the event name preprinted on it” from the curfew.
Lightfoot’s proposal makes no changes to the way Chicago police officers are authorized to enforce the curfew.
