 7    follows:
 8        (70 ILCS 1505/15) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.15)
 9        Sec. 15.  Acquisition of real estate.
10        (a)  The Chicago  Park  District  may  acquire  by  gift,
11    grant,  purchase, or condemnation (and may incur indebtedness
12    for the purchase of) any real estate lands, riparian  estates
13    or  rights,  and other property (including abandoned railroad
14    rights-of-way) required or needed for any park, for parkways,
15    driveways, or boulevards,  or  for  extending,  adorning,  or
16    maintaining   the  same  for  the  purpose  of  establishing,
17    acquiring,  completing,  enlarging,  ornamenting,   building,
18    rebuilding,  and improving public parks, boulevards, bridges,
19    subways, viaducts, and  approaches  thereto,  wharfs,  piers,
20    jetties,  air  landing  fields  and  basins, shore protection
21    works, pleasure grounds and ways, walks, pathways, driveways,
22    roadways,  highways,  and  all  public  works,  grounds,   or
23    improvements under the control of and within the jurisdiction
24    of the park commissioners, including (i) filling in submerged
25    land  for  park  purposes,  (ii)  constructing all buildings,
26    field houses, stadiums,  shelters,  conservatories,  museums,
27    service  shops, power plants, structures, playground devices,
28    and  boulevard  and  building  lighting  systems,  and  (iii)
29    building  all  other  types  of  permanent  improvement   and

HB2375 Enrolled             -2-                LRB9007361PTcw
 1    that property as  public  parks,  parkways,  boulevards,  and
 2    pleasureways,  whether  the land is located within or without
 3    the district, if  the  land  is  deemed  necessary  for  park
 4    purposes  or  for  parkways,  driveways,  or  boulevards. The
 5    Chicago Park District shall have no  power  of  condemnation,
 6    however, as to real estate lands, riparian rights or estates,
 7    or  other  property  located  outside the district, but shall
 8    only have power to acquire that property by gift,  grant,  or
 9    purchase.
10        (b)  After  December 31, 1958, the powers granted in this
11    Section are subject to and limited by the  Chicago  Park  and
12    City  Exchange of Functions Act.  As provided in that Act and
13    in Section 7 of this Act, the Chicago Park District  may  not
14    after  that  date  acquire,  extend, and maintain boulevards,
15    driveways, roadways, and highways used as  thoroughfares  for
16    vehicular  traffic  into  or  within  parks,  or any bridges,
17    subways, viaducts, and approaches thereto.
18        (c)  The Chicago Park District may acquire  by  lease  or
19    permit  the  right  to  occupy  and use real estate lands and
20    riparian estates  for  park  and  parkway  purposes  and  may
21    improve,  maintain,  and  equip  the  lands  and estates when
22    authorized by the Commissioners as a park or playground,  but
23    no permanent building or structure shall be placed upon lands
24    so  acquired  by  lease  or permit. The Chicago Park District
25    may, however,  improve,  remodel,  and  equip  buildings  and
26    structures to make them suitable for operation by the Chicago
27    Park  District  for  park  purposes  if,  at  the time of the
28    commencement of any improvement or remodeling, the  remaining
29    portion  of  the term of the permit or lease is not less than
30    10 years.
31        (d)  The power of  condemnation  conferred  by  this  Act
32    shall be exercised in the manner provided for the exercise of
33    the  right of eminent domain under Article VII of the Code of
34    Civil Procedure.
