Ironically enough, the African American population begins just east of the corridor, so it will serve somewhat as a racial boundary through Springfield. You can observe in the map below where the future corridor will be placed and its relationship to the African American population adjacent to it. The map is segmented by &#8220;blocks&#8221;; the highlighted block shows the highest (83.3%) African American population along the corridor, and the ones beneath it (66.7%, 54.5%) also reflect significant percentages.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-344\" src=\"http:\/\/conflict.coplacdigital.org\/uis\/files\/2017\/11\/Race-Map-highest-east-side-of-10th-corridor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"977\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conflict.coplacdigital.org\/uis\/files\/2017\/11\/Race-Map-highest-east-side-of-10th-corridor.jpg 977w, https:\/\/conflict.coplacdigital.org\/uis\/files\/2017\/11\/Race-Map-highest-east-side-of-10th-corridor-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conflict.coplacdigital.org\/uis\/files\/2017\/11\/Race-Map-highest-east-side-of-10th-corridor-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/conflict.coplacdigital.org\/uis\/files\/2017\/11\/Race-Map-highest-east-side-of-10th-corridor-457x350.jpg 457w, https:\/\/conflict.coplacdigital.org\/uis\/files\/2017\/11\/Race-Map-highest-east-side-of-10th-corridor-150x115.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/copyright\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a9 OpenStreetMap contributors<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Iles Park Neighborhood Association&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilespark.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> discusses the implications of SRIP on their neighborhood and residents in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilespark.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iles-Park-Neighborhood-Watch-Notes-20170605.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meeting minutes<\/a>.

It is clear that the neighborhood will undergo significant transformation (2 underpasses in one neighborhood) however, the Iles Park neighborhood association was not listed as a stakeholder for the project.
