Dear Neighbor,
On Tuesday, Mayor Emanuel delivered his annual budget address to City Council. Over the coming weeks, I will be participating in hearings at City Hall on the proposed budget. In addition, I will be hosting three town halls to discuss the proposed budget with you. See the flyer below for town hall information. As always, I will provide you with an analysis of the budget, and how I will vote in an upcoming newsletter. While I have questions about certain elements of the budget, the tough decision on raising property taxes to fund police, fire and other municipal pensions has to be made to stabilize the city's finances. To learn more about the proposed budget, you can review the following links:
Kerry Wood Cubs Field
Yesterday, we cut the ribbon for the Kerry Wood Cubs Field. After breaking ground in 2012, there were many fits and starts for this project, but I am proud that we have finally completed this great addition to the 47th Ward.
I want to thank the Chicago Cubs, Kerry and Sarah Wood, Governor Pat Quinn, Mayor Emanuel, Senate President John Cullerton, Chicago Park District, Chicago Public Schools, Turner Construction, DeVry University and DePaul University for their hard work and partnership. It took many intense discussions, coordination, a legislative process, and environmental clean-up to bring over $7 million together from various government entities and the private sector to make this project possible. I also want to thank the Clark Park Advisory Council for their vision and advocacy on behalf of Clark Park and the community. Most importantly, our high school baseball teams in Chicago will now have a place to call home during the IHSA playoffs each year.
47th Ward Health & Wellness Event
Tomorrow, Saturday, September 26th, my office is partnering with the Chicago Department of Public Health, the Chicago Public Library, Forward Chicago and local healthcare providers for the 47th Ward Health and Wellness Fair taking place at Sulzer Library from 10am to 2pm. At this fair, you can receive free flu shots provided by the Chicago Dept. of Public Health, and health screenings from many local healthcare providers. For more information on this event, see the flyer immediately below this letter. I want to thank the 47th Ward Senior Council, Forward Chicago, and Dara Salk for organizing this event.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,

Dara Reports
One of the reasons we moved to this area is because of the neighbors who were already here. They were involved in the neighborhood; advocating & caring for one another, the parks, streets, schools, churches. Now we're stepping up, attending to these same issues; keeping our neighborhood one of the best places to live in Chicago.
Many thanks to next-door neighbors and GWCA members Donna & Terry, for replanting the bio-swale with native plants at Clark and Berteau Streets. These plants will help to keep the area from flooding.
Interested in shaping the future of the Chicago River? Join in a conversation with Great Rivers Chicago. Please adopt the sewer on your block. Clean the top; remove leaves/debris from the street. This will keep the water flowing - slowly flowing. Does the sewer on your block drain gradually over 24 hours? If so, it is working perfectly. The sewer is built to keep water in the street so our basements don't flood. However, if it doesn't drain in 24 hours, please call us.
Doctors recommend that everyone over 6 months of age receive a flu shot. Take advantage of free flu immunizations, presentations by health care providers and many health screenings on Saturday, September 27 at Sulzer Library, 10am -2pm
Have you been by the new Montrose Metra Community Gardens? There is a reason the name is plural. Not only are there many vegetable gardens there are also various gardens being created. One of these is on the ground level in front of the vegetable plots. We are planting a "flyway" (path) of native plants that will be used by birds and insects or pollinators. http://www.nwf.org/Pollinators/Pollinator-Decline.aspx Do you have native plants to contribute, would you like to help keep these insects and birds in our area? Visit their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/montrosemetragardens
Fight for the return of the #11 bus continues! Many people have been diligently working to restore the #11 bus. For months the 31/11 Coalition of north and south-siders have gone to the CTA Board Meetings and spoke passionately about the loss of our buses. Aldermen Pawar and Thompson will speak to the board on October 14.
Please join us in our fight for the return of these important routes? The next meeting is October 14, 9:30am, at CTA Headquarters 567 W. Lake St., 2nd floor. If you have a story to share send us a letter or email. FREE, yes FREE, Rain Barrels are available to everyone who wants to disconnect their downspouts. Thanks to the 47th Ward partnership with Metropolitan Water Reclamation District & Chicago Historic Bungalow Association. You may request up to 4 rain barrels! The next helpful step you can take is to plant a rain garden for your overflow; instead of having water in your basement, alley or the street. There is less open land in our neighborhood, with that comes more water with nowhere to go. Our streets are designed to hold water, then to slowly drain - but with these larger rain events there is more water than our combined system can handle. Does your alley flood? Does storm-water runoff from your garage go into the alley; does it seem that there is more water on your property than ever before? Talk to your neighbors. Help one another to disconnect gutters. The more houses on your block that use rain barrels the less flooding you'll have. Please contact Dara@chicago47.org Free Business Workshops conducted by city officials, BACP's partner organizations or the experts in the industry. Workshops are located at BACP City Hall Office 121 N. LaSalle, Room 805. To register or for more information call, 312-744-5344 or email oebacp@cityofchicago.org

Classes will be held the 2nd Saturday of every month: October 10, November 14 & December 12. Click here to see the full course description.

Do you garden on a corner or parkway? Please take a look at the list of upcoming water main projects in the 'infrastructure update' section of the newsletter. You may have to move your plants so they won't be destroyed or disappear.
Please be sure to report any drain that does not clear within 24 hours of rainfall to the 47th Ward Office or 311. Please bring in your old batteries for recycling. Keep them out of the landfill. Don't have a use for your old cell phones? Drop them off at the alderman's office. We collect year round for Cell Phones for Soldiers. There couldn't be an easier way to help our soldiers stay in touch with family & friends.

47th Ward Infrastructure Update
Lawrence Avenue Streetscape
LANDSCAPING UPDATE: Plants were installed in the stormwater infiltration planters along the project corridor from Western to Clark. All of the planter areas were cleaned out and replaced with new topsoil prior to planting and new sod was also installed. Landscaping continues as the dead and damaged trees, which are under warranty, are being replaced along the corridor. Supplemental waterings will also be provided. A few remaining trees and plants that were not previously available at the nursery will be planted by the end of next week. The planters are designed to sit lower than street level in order to help capture stormwater and help mitigate flooding... and excess water is diverted to the pipe underdrain system to reach the trees. Once the plants establish themselves, they will grow and fill in the planter areas. CONCRETE UPDATE: There have been some issues with sidewalks and curbs/gutters spalling and the contractor recently removed and replaced a number of sections along the corridor as part of Phase I. We will provide scheduling details for Phase II once these are provided by the contractor. The contractor will be working on restoring parts of the project that were affected by recent concrete work, which includes pavers and planter railings. PUNCH LIST ITEMS UPDATE: The stamped asphalt project to connect Claremont Plaza to Giddings Plaza was recently completed. Work on a new fence to shield the dumpsters in Claremont Plaza has begun and will be completed by the end of next week. Remaining punch list items will be completed shortly. As always, pay close attention to parking restrictions.
Ravenswood Metra Station
- The new station opened in early May (west side, for outbound trains)!
- Metra Phase II: Design and engineering work is currently being performed for improvements to the east side of the tracks and will be put out to bid once complete. Construction of the 11 new bridges and new station (east side, for inbound trains) is expected to start in spring 2016 will last approximately 18 months. Work on the east side will move faster than on the west side since the track is currently in place there and extensive retaining wall work is not necessary. The middle track will also be removed as part of this project.
Water Main Replacement Damen from Irving Park to Montrose, Cullom from Lincoln to Damen and Pensacola from Lincoln to Damen
Contractors working with the Department of Water Management are replacing the water mains from 1891 under Damen from Irving Park to Montrose, Cullom from Lincoln to Damen and Pensacola from Lincoln to Damen. Contractors have capped all of the trenches and the replacement is complete. Restoration of curbs, street surface and landscaping will occur in the coming weeks. Where needed, Parking will be restricted M-F 7am to 4pm and restrictions will be staged to the greatest extent possible. For more information on this project, please click here.
