  • Last Chance to Provide Your Input on Proposed Ward Improvement Projects
    Posted: 3/7/2010

    Dear Neighbor,

    Monday, March 8th, is your last chance to provide your comments and suggestions on the proposed neighborhood improvement projects that will be put to a vote of the entire 49th Ward community in April.

    Join us for a Neighborhood Assembly Monday, March 8th, 7:00 p.m. at the Loyola Park Fieldhouse, 1230 W. Greenleaf (at the Lake), 2nd floor. This is the latest step in my "Participatory Budgeting" process that will allow 49th Ward residents to decide directly how to spend the Ward's $1.3 million "menu money"--discretionary funds received annually by each Chicago alderman for infrastructure improvements in their wards.

    Dear Neighbor,

    I sponsored a community meeting last January on a proposal for a zoning change and special use permit to allow for a restaurant and bar in the commercial space of the new building at 1412 W. Morse.

    The proposal was met with overwhelming support at the community meeting, which over 40 community residents attended, and in e-mails sent to my office. My Zoning and Land Use Advisory Committee recommended I support the proposal, as well. Accordingly, I have decided to support the zoning change and special use permit.
