A new, 290-space parking lot will be developed on the Mount Sinai Hospital campus in North Lawndale through a city-owned land sale approved today by City Council.

Eleven parcels of vacant city-owned land on the 1300 blocks of South Washtenaw and Fairfield avenues will be sold to Sinai Health System for $1. The parcels’ appraised value is collectively estimated at $190,000.

The $2.3 parking project will replace existing gravel lots with a single, paved surface and include fencing, lighting, landscaping, and a storm water drainage system. Part of the $100 million “Sinai Tomorrow” campus expansion project, the additional spaces will ease congestion at the hospital’s main parking garage.

Construction will be completed by the end of the year.
