Sneak preview: Take a look at the projects on this year’s Participatory Budgeting ballot

April 4, 2016

Dear Neighbor,

We’re entering the home stretch for this year’s Participatory Budgeting Election, where ward residents decide how to spend $1 million on ward improvement projects.

PB Vote HereAbout 50 “Community Representative” volunteers worked over the past four months to narrow down all the ideas offered by neighbors at last November’s neighborhood assemblies and other venues into a great set of proposals to improve our library and parks, replace trees and install new street lights.

On this year’s Participatory Budgeting ballot, ward residents will first be asked to vote on the percentage of the ward’s $1 million infrastructure budget they want spent on street and alley resurfacing and sidewalk repairs. Then they will be asked to choose how to spend the remainder of the budget from among eight proposed neighborhood improvement projects.

The official PB49 Election Day takes place Saturday, April 30th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at the Chicago Math and Science Academy, 7212 N. Clark (just south of the Rogers Park firehouse).

For those who prefer to vote early, early voting will start Saturday, April 16, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at my 49th Ward Service Office, 7356 N. Greenview, during my annual Spring Clean-up. The early voting will continue throughout the following two weeks at the Ward Service Office and other early voting sites. Look for announcements of the early voting times and locations.

Also for the first time, this year residents will be able to vote online from the comfort of their own home or office. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.

Here are the projects residents can choose. Download the presentation (pdf) for more details on the projects.
