Apparently our city fathers knew better than to build the original Henry Street over and through a cemetery. And apparently our current city leadership sold the fancy idea of a new street and expensive bridge without fully vetting the cemetery sites. 674 burial sites uncovered and still counting, with another 60+% of the site to be excavated. What an embarrassment for the city!
Most of the overrun costs for did the bridge are being covered by the Lilly Endowment.
Also, the City is voluntarily choosing to engage in this extensive of an excavation. While there are laws about relocating graves, etc. *nothing* requires this extensive of excavations, instead the CIty is trying to be sensitive to history and acknowledge prior past discrimination.
The graves were known to be there, and yet the site had been dug up multiple times before for both private and public work, so much for the “wisdom of our forefathers.” It was no mystery there would be extensive excavation done. It is only embarrassing if you think getting a new bridge is embarrassing. It is a done deal, and it is time to move on.

Apparently you don’t know the history of the site. Henry Street was not extended through the cemetery because of the river. our city fathers, which you seem to give a lot of credit to, did feel abandoning the cemetery, removing only some graves, allowing grave robbing and turning it over to industrial use was a good idea.
The Vandalia Railroad built Its maintenance shops over it, as did the Union Traction. Diamond Chain built its.factory over it as well, often finding graves as they expanded and retooled.
I’m not defending the current generation, but know that our forefathers were much worse when it came to Greenland Cemetery
You want poltergeists?!? This is how you get poltergeists.
How could Hogsett do this?
