More Uncertainty About the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art And Whether it Will Get Built

The saga continues in the will the Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts get built just south of Soldier Field (via Curbed):

A motion to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to block the construction of the proposed Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on Chicago's lakefront was denied today by US District Court Judge John Darrah. The suit was filed by non-profit advocacy group Friends of the Parks who argued that site, formerly part of Lake Michigan, belongs to the public land trust and therefore cannot be legally transferred or leased to the non-profit group that plans to operate the museum.

While this isn't a no, it's another hurdle the museum has to clear.  Next steps?  Wait a couple weeks:

Construction on the 300,000-square-foot museum and park cannot proceed until the lawsuit is settled. The next update on the on-going legal saga should arrive after a status hearing scheduled for February 18th.
