Liza Bonomo "Like all green roofs, the City Hall rooftop garden improves air quality, conserves energy, reduces stormwater runoff and helps lessen the urban heat island effect. Plants filter the air, which improves air quality by using excess carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. The rooftop garden mitigates the urban heat island effect by replacing what was a ballasted, black tar roof with green plants. The garden absorbs less heat from the sun than the tar roof, keeping City Hall cooler in summer and requiring less energy for air conditioning. The garden also absorbs and uses rain water. It can retain 75% of a 1 inch rainfall before there is stormwater runoff into the sewers." I would imagine security concerns would be the #1 reason for keeping it closed to the public. Would love to get up there but can appreciate its beauty from the surrounding buildings.
Mary Orem These roof gardens are such a good idea and I hope that they keep on doing them. Anythng to improve our planet.
Heather Acker I agree. Think about if rooftops like these also grew veggies in the summer. Lots of locally grown produce in cities.
Martha Nelson Almost all of Millenium Park, just a few blocks from City Hall, is a rooftop garden. It grows trees, prairie plants and has the Pritzker Pavilion - all built over train tracks and a huge parking garage. Best of all, anyone can visit it for free.
