Hospital, punk music festival settle noise, parking issues

Compromises include restoring parking on the street in front of the hospital and monitoring sound within the hospital


Chicago's Saint Anthony Hospital  has settled it's dispute with Riot Fest scheduled in a nearby park, according to an article on the Chicago Sun Times website. 

The hospital filed a lawsuit last week, arguing that the 45,000 people coming to the festival every day will severely hurt the patients and operations at the 110-year-old, 151-bed hospital.

Compromises include restoring parking on the street in front of the hospital; creating pedestrian barricades; monitoring of traffic with a promise that traffic will be closed if pedestrian and car congestion make it difficult for emergency vehicles to access the hospital. 

There will also be sound monitoring within the hospital to protect patients.
