The Chicago Park District has scheduled the promised public informational and input session on preliminary plans for rebuilding the bridge (tentatively scheduled for 2019).
The meeting is on Tuesday, August 22, 5-7 pm at Jackson Park fieldhouse, 6401 S. Stony Island. Additional meetings may be held, but I cannot vouch for that at this time. 
Jackson Park Advisory Council, which pushed hard for historic reconstruction by gathering letters and support  from community organizations and our elected representatives and aldermen, a petition with a large number of signatures, and ongoing formal adn informal communications with Chicago and sate officers, is preparing a statement of what we think is needed to ensure ongoing (and present) upkeep, security, and safety at this historic bridge and key conduit of circulation in our park and communities.
