About

South Lakeview Neighbors meet regularly to socialize and discuss important issues. Members get to meet and question candidates for offices ranging from Alderman to U.S. Representative, question developers over potential zoning matters, and work directly with businesses over opportunities or issues in the neighborhood.  Our Neighborhood Development Review Committee works with Alderman Waguespack to ensure that zoning variances benefit the community.

Just in the past year:

  • We have, after a patient and thorough review, taken a negative position on the Lincoln Hub reconfiguration.
  • Hosted a forum for aldermanic candidates.
  • We acted as a forum for our elected officials so that you can determine whether they are talking straight to us or have thrown us into the spin cycle, and invite candidates so that you can learn more than revealed on a glossy mailer.
  • We informed our members of new businesses, changes in how public services are delivered and other issues that affect their lifestyle and pocketbook.


If you live within the boundaries of SLN, we urge you to have a voice in the community and join South Lakeview Neighbors.
