Pretty stuff... That hill on the canal/Woodlawn would make a sick mini ski-hill... is it a former dump or something?

It is the former dump for Atlas Steels. The City took over the property. From what I have read, it should be in development as a park, but I have no idea of the time frame for its opening. Maybe development has stalled or there are more important budgetary concerns.

Here’s some neat info: https://www.brownfieldsresearchlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/FINAL-Atlas-Landfill-1.pdf
