Sullivan High School Elevator Installation:
As crews began to peel away the exterior of the existing school to install a new elevator, they found issues with the existing structure. They are working to correct those issues, with the remainder of the work happening over the next three weeks. Once the corrections are made, they can continue to install the new steel structure and eventually enclose it. They are on track to have the elevator installation completed in early 2023.
Sewer Main Replacement Project (PN7439):
Crews continue to await for approval from the Office of Underground Coordination. Once they receive that approval, permits will be issued for the sewer main replacement. This has caused the start date of the project to be pushed back from its original start date in early September. Crews anticipate having a new permit issued on Monday and for the project to commence on the week of January 16.
Continue to keep your eye on this space for updates on this project. Chicagoans may also visit BuildingANewChicago.org to register for notifications. You will need to enter your name, email address, and project identification number (PN7439) to sign up.

Volunteer for the City's Annual Point-In-Time Count on January 26
|
|
The City of Chicago's 2023 homeless count will take place on Thursday, January 26, from 9 PM to 3 AM. The Department of Family Support and Services (DFSS) is asking for your help in assisting with the count.
Chicago's homeless count is a point-in-time tally and survey of individuals in shelters and on the street conducted by trained volunteers. Information gathered from the count is used for service and resource planning, advocating for federal funding for the city's programs to prevent and reduce homelessness, and raising public awareness about homelessness in Chicago.
Volunteers will meet at designated sites in the city at 9 PM before being matched to small teams of 2-4 individuals and heading out to count and tally their assigned areas across the City at 10 PM. To mitigate Covid risks, the Count will be carried out by small teams of fully vaccinated volunteers, and all volunteers will be required to follow Covid-safe protocols and self-monitor before and after the Count for any signs or symptoms of Covid-19.
More information on the point-in-time count is available on the City's website by clicking here. A volunteer FAQ for the 2023 count is available here.
To sign up to volunteer, click here. For more information and questions, email homelesscount@cityofchicago.org.

Donate to Help Leone Beach Park Advisory Council with its Mission of Conservation
|
|
This year, over 150 people participated in Leone Beach Park Advisory Council (LB PAC) educational outings, which included a wider range of topics than ever before: birding walks, learning about lichens, an exploration of native flowers, and building mindfulness in nature.
In addition to shared learning, the LB PAC worked together to protect and restore our remarkable lakefront. Forty-four additional community member volunteers joined for work days in the sand prairie and black oak savanna, removing invasive plants and supporting the health of Leone habitats.
Also, Nature Play got underway! In partnership with the Park District and TruGreen, LB PAC broke ground and is making progress toward bringing nature play to children in the Leone Beach Park playground.
With your support, they can build on this success in 2023! They hope to further engage community members in the continued exploration of our natural areas and investment in what Leone Beach Park can offer people of all ages.
Please make a gift today to be part of their work in the year ahead!

Help Newly Arrived Migrants By Purchasing Wish List Items
|
|
Thank you to all our neighbors who have donated items to help the newly arrived migrants settle in. We have had an outpouring of support and generosity from our neighbors in the 49th Ward, resulting in several truckloads delivered to the City's sorting center.
The City is now shifting its donation process and will no longer accept donated items through ward offices. Instead, they are partnering with the Instituto del Progreso Latino to create an Amazon Wishlist to facilitate and expedite the donations of new items.
This means that our office will no longer accept items, as the sorting center will no longer be able to take them. Instead, our neighbors who would like to donate to the newly arrived migrants can purchase items from the Amazon Wishlist. For more information and to view the Wishlist, click here.

Shared Cost Sidewalk Program Opens January 9
|
|
The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program offers an opportunity for owners/occupants to share the cost of replacing sidewalks with the city. This voluntary program allows residents to replace sidewalks at a much lower cost than if they were to hire a private contractor.
The program covers the main walk, the courtesy walk, and existing catwalks/landing steps (the narrow strip of concrete adjacent to some curbs). Owner-occupants of corner houses will be charged for both the main (address) side and the sidewalk on the side of the house. CDOT will build ADA-compliant ramps where applicable, with the City paying the entire cost of the ramps.
The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program will open on Monday, January 9, from 6 am to 10 pm. Applications will only be accepted through the City’s 311 system or at the city’s Shared Cost Sidewalk website. Owner information and the property address must be provided at the time of the request. The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program is very popular and is handled on a first-come, first-served basis. The funds are limited, and the program closes for the year once the funds are allocated.
Further information on the program is available by clicking here.

Snow Plowing:
The Department of Streets and Sanitation oversees snowplowing of over 9,400 miles of roads throughout the City of Chicago and maintains a fleet of over 300 snow plows to respond to winter weather events. You can track snow plows throughout the city using the City's snowplow tracking website.
As a reminder, throughout the duration of a storm, plow trucks prioritize major arterial streets across the entire city. Once the storm has passed and all major arterial streets have been cleared, plow trucks will then shift to clear residential streets. This means that you might not see a plow truck on a residential street until some time on Saturday after the storm passes.
Many of the City's plow drivers are also drivers that collect refuse and recycling. Those drivers will be back on City recycling and garbage pickup services one-to-two days after the storm, which may result in some delays to garbage collection. Please make sure not to blow or shovel snow in front of your garbage and recycling bins so workers can easily access them.
Sidewalk Shoveling:
As a reminder to all residents and businesses, per the Municipal Code of Chicago, property owners and occupants are responsible for keeping sidewalks clear of snow and ice. Many of our neighbors rely on walking and public transportation as their primary way to get around the city. Without a wide, clear path through the snow and ice, it makes it difficult for pedestrians (especially people with disabilities, seniors, and children) to walk to their destination safely.
If you have a neighbor who needs assistance clearing the sidewalk, pitch in to help out! The 49th Ward also has a Snow Buddies volunteer program that helps connect volunteers to addresses that need a little extra help with snow removal in the winter. If you are interested in volunteering, please email office@49thward.org to sign up.

Overnight Parking in Effect through April 1
|
|

For a map of areas in the 49th Ward that have a 2-inch ban in effect, visit the 49th Ward's parking page by clicking here.
