49th Ward Infrastructure Updates
|
|
Quarry Workers Strike Labor Deal with Material Producing Companies:
This week, members from the IUOE Local 150 struck a deal with three material-producing companies responsible for producing aggregate materials for infrastructure projects, including sand, gravel, and stone that are needed for asphalt and concrete.
The workers went on strike on June 7, asking that the companies work with them on a labor agreement. After stalling negotiations with the quarry workers, the material producers finally came to the table and worked on an agreement this week.
We are glad that the union was able to strike this deal and support its efforts in advocating for the rights of its members.
The strike, however, impacted small and large projects across the entire city, from filling potholes to completing the restoration of sewer main replacement projects.
Now that the strike has ended, work will resume across the city. However, a large backlog remains, which means residents may continue to experience longer delays than normal on infrastructure projects.
Our office is working closely with the Department of Transportation and the Department of Water Management to address the urgent infrastructure issues in our ward and identify projects that need to be prioritized this construction season.

Package Delivery Safety Tips
|
|
The 24th District advises the community to be aware of these tips about how to make sure your packages are delivered and received safely:
- Have packages delivered to your workplace or a business drop off/pick-up.
- Track your items when the information is available, to know when they are due to be delivered.
- If you will not be home to receive your package, ask a neighbor to watch for the delivery truck and give them permission to take possession of the item until you return.
- Avoid letting deliveries sit out in the open on your porch or door steps.
- Ask the delivery company to place items in inconspicuous areas, such as the back door area, or behind fixtures or plantings where they cannot be readily observed from your sidewalk or street views.
- Consider adding a surveillance device to catch deliveries when they occur, so that you can notify a neighbor to help you, or to help catch a thief in the act of taking the parcels.
- Be alert to vehicles that pass by your home several times in a short period of time. Many thieves case the neighborhood before they act.
- Weather is not a factor: don't believe that the cold will keep thieves away!
- Many people do not hear or see what is happening outside their front door. Be a good neighbor; when a delivery truck stops outside their home, inform them. Ask your neighbors to keep an eye on your property as well!
- Keep your doors locked, even when you are home.
- Consider installing a strongbox at your entryway to keep packages secure and out of sight.

Each public engagement forum will begin with presentations from Budget Director Susie Park and other City leaders, followed with small roundtable sessions, and public comment.

Feedback from the forums will be incorporated into the 2023 Responsive Initiatives, developed from the public report published by the University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) Great Cities Institute, detailing the data collected from public input. Once finalized, these inputs will be presented with the 2023 Budget Recommendations.
Doors open an hour before the forums begin to allow participants time to attend the City Resource Fair where representatives from the City’s departments and sister agencies will be available to answer questions and provide information on City services and programs.
BUDGET ENGAGEMENT FORUM III:
