Snow and Ice Ordinance 

 

During these cold winter months please remember to shovel your sidewalk, not only is it the neighborly thing to do, but it is also the law. 

 

We are all pedestrians at some point in the day, whether walking to the bus, to a car, or to a neighborhood store. Without a wide, clear path, snow and ice on the sidewalk make it difficult for everyone - especially people with disabilities, seniors, and children - to walk safely.

 

Be a good neighbor and offer help to those in your community who are physically unable to clear their own sidewalks.

Dominicks - 3030 N. Broadway
 
In September, Alderman Tunney joined Dominick's executives, the development team and local community leaders to break ground for the new 40,000 square foot Dominick's, parking and residential development at 3030 N. Broadway.
 
Construction should be in full swing by the end of the winter and the development is expected to be open for business in 18 months.  Updates on the project can be found at www.broadway3030.com/construction.asp.
 

Cold Weather Tips 

 

Families having trouble paying their energy bills may turn to The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for help.

To find out how LIHEAP can help you and your family please call 800-571-2332 or visit The Community and Economic Development Association of Cook County, located at 208 S. LaSalle St., Suite 1900, Chicago.

 

 

By law, if you are unable to pay your heating bill, all homes will be provided heat; with a minimum temperature of 68 degrees, from September 15th of each year to June 1st of the following year.

 

Parking Meters and Rates 

 

All parking meters in the City of Chicago are now in effect 365 days a year.  There will be NO meter holidays. 

 

With parking rates increasing you will also see the technology improving, expect to see more pay & display meters for your convenience.

 

Park meters vary throughout the City so please make note of hours and rates when and where you park. 

 

In the 44th Ward, we anticipates that meter rates will rise to one dollar per hour over the next couple of years, and does not propose creating any new metered spaces.  Our office will be working closely with Community Organizations and Chambers on any future changes
