City again turns down plan for anti-war march

CHICAGO - The Chicago Department of Transportation has denied a second permit application filed by anti-war activists who want to march on Michigan Avenue on March 19, the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, a department spokesman said Wednesday.
A city hearing officer earlier this month upheld a department denial of an application filed by the Chicago Coalition Against War and Racism. The group last week filed a revised application, still seeking to march on Michigan but eliminating plans to march on State Street on the way to Federal Plaza in the Loop.

The revised plan, which called for a route on Michigan from Walton Street to Adams Street, then to Federal Plaza, still would have disrupted too much traffic, department spokesman Brian Steele said.
