In a move engineered by 23rd Ward Ald. Silvana Tabares, the Chicago Department of Transportation has installed a street sign noting that the 5300 block of South Mobile has been given the honorary designation of Richard Techman Way. Techman, a longtime president of the Garfield Ridge Civic League, died suddenly and unexpectedly last October. The new street sign was unveiled on Feb. 11, which would have been Techman’s 66th birthday. Joining Tabares outside the Techman home were his widow, Michele, and a cluster of people representing the GRCL, the Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch, Rhine VFW Post 2729, Midway Chamber of Commerce, Clearing Civic League and other groups. – Supplied photos
