Nuevos mapas de llanuras de inundación de FEMA se publicarán en 2020 FEMA publicó recientemente el mapeo futuro de las llanuras aluviales a lo largo de la costa del lago Michigan. El 24 de septiembre, FEMA hizo una presentación sobre la actualización del mapa en Winnetka. Puede ver esa presentación en el sitio web de Great Lakes Coasts. Se espera que los mapas finales se publiquen alrededor de septiembre de 2020, con fecha de vigencia alrededor de marzo de 2021. Alentamos a los residentes a obtener pólizas de seguro contra inundaciones a medida que nos acercamos a la emisión de los mapas finales. Puede ser posible reducir las primas del seguro contra inundaciones si las pólizas están aseguradas antes de que los nuevos mapas de llanuras aluviales entren en vigencia. FEMA ha creado un sitio web para ayudar a las comunidades y los residentes a comprender el mapeo y su impacto. Los mapas preliminares están disponibles en el Centro de servicios de mapas de FEMA en "Buscar todos los productos", "Illinois", "Condado de Cook", "Chicago" y "Productos preliminares". Los paneles 17031C258K, 266K, 268K, 407K y 417K muestran la orilla del lago al norte del circuito. FEMA ha elaborado algunas hojas informativas para ayudar a los residentes a comprender los diversos programas de seguros disponibles a través de su agencia. Estos están vinculados a continuación: Hoja de datos del programa nacional de seguro contra inundaciones NFIP: Hoja de datos sobre el manejo de llanuras aluviales NFIP: ¿Por qué necesito un seguro contra inundaciones?

City Council Redistricting Updates May 14, 2022 After months at stalemate, your City Council has drafted a new city ward map with the necessary support to pass. We held a subject matter hearing on the map which was released earlier this week. We will vote on the map during a special City Council Meeting on Monday at 11:30am. You can watch the meeting live via ChiCityClerk.com. There is also room for limited in person attendance and you can find info about attending in person on the Clerk's site as well. The proposed 49th ward won't have many changes at all. We maintain the same borders with the 48th and 50th wards that we've had for the previous decade and take on a small portion of the 40th ward that squares off our southwest corner, extending us to Clark St. and Devon Ave and will fully enclose the Rogers Park neighborhood in the 49th Ward. The remapping process has been a daunting one to navigate and there is much to improve on the public engagement side of it. The Peoples' Map process and commissioner process has shown us what robust community engagement can look like and I believe that City Council should follow their example in redesigning our process. I was happy to encourage our residents' participation in the Peoples' Map process and to take input from it in working on our ward map. Not all alderpersons did this. Maybe we can change our or process to require it. Despite the flaws, I still stand by my statements that the redistricting process through the Rules Committee has been the most collaborative exercises that I've experienced in City Council so far. Thank you to everyone who met with me, attended meetings, sent in map drafts and shared feedback with my office. I look forward to continue pushing your City Council to be more accountable, transparent and ethical. You may view the updated Chicago United map on the Committee on Rules' My Districting Tool website by clicking here . December 17, 2021 The Committee on Committees and Rules will host a series of public hearings on the City Council's redistricting process in January. The hearings are scheduled for: Thursday, January 6, at 10 am Tuesday, January 11, at 1 pm Thursday, January 14, at 10 am Friday, January 21, at 10 am Residents may submit written feedback ahead of a public hearing. Written feedback should be submitted via email to committeeoncommitteesandrules@cityofchicago.org . Specific deadlines for public comment will be detailed on the notices for the meetings, which are available to view on the City's Legistar website. Additionally, residents can sign up to speak during the public comment period at a hearing. To sign up for the public comment period, individuals should call 312-744-6800 and leave a voice message with their name and telephone number. Requests for public comments are accepted from 12:01 am the Monday before the scheduled meeting until 8 am on the day before the scheduled meeting. Anyone who wants to participate in the public comment period must be available at 10 am on the day of the meeting and have access to a touch-tone telephone. More information on how to sign up for public comments for a committee meeting is available on the City Clerk's website. Finally, you can stream the public hearing on the City Clerk's website at chicityclerk.com . December 6, 2021 On Wednesday, December 1, Chairman Michele Harris of the Committee on Committee and Rules introduced a proposed ward map , just meeting the December 1 deadline to introduce an ordinance. The map(s) in question: The map introduced by Chairman Harris is the product of 36 members of the City Council who signed on to the Committee's remapping process, which is the same process that has been used in previous redistricting processes. The proposed map includes 16 Black wards (decreasing by 2), 14 Latinx wards (increasing by 1), 15 white wards, 4 plurality wards, and 1 Asian ward (for the first time ever). In October, the Latino Caucus unveiled their own proposed map , which includes 15 Latinx wards (increasing by 2), 16 Black wards (decreasing by 2), 15 white wards, 3 plurality wards, and 1 Asian ward (for the first time ever). Another map that has been in discussion is the Peoples Map . The Peoples Map is an effort that was spearheaded by Change Illinois to have Chicagoans draw maps in an effort to take some of the politics out of the process. The coalition formed a commission and held public meetings to gain input and feedback on how the new map should be drawn. So what now? While the map was introduced this week, no vote was taken. Chairman Harris has called for additional public hearings on the proposed map in the coming weeks and months to solicit further feedback from City Council and the public. Public hearings will begin next week in the Committee on Rules, recess through the holidays, then resume in January. City Council has up until 40 days before the primary election in June to ratify a new ward boundary map. If City Council fails to pass a map, any 10 members of the City Council may file a petition to have their proposed map included as a ballot referendum. That petition must also be filed at least 40 days before the primary in June. Between now and the primary in June, 10 aldermen could file a petition with the Office of the City Clerk calling for a referendum. On Thursday, the Latino Caucus filed a petition with City Clerk Anna Valencia to have the new boundaries determined by ballot referendum during the Primary Election in June. However, if 41 aldermen vote on a map before the primary, it would nullify the referendum, and the new map would be codified. If City Council votes on the map, it would need at least 41 votes to ensure that it doesn't go to a ballot referendum (the map only requires 26 votes to pass and 34 votes to avoid a veto by the mayor). Should less than 41 aldermen vote to approve the map, 10 aldermen could file a petition with the Office of the City Clerk to have the item go before voters as a ballot referendum. They would be required to file the petition within 15 days of the passage of a map in accordance with state statute , and they cannot also vote in favor of the map during the City Council meeting. How can I submit feedback? The map introduced by Chairman Harris is available to review by clicking here . The Committee on Committees and Rules has also created a website , where the map is available to review. Residents may use a redistricting tool housed on the website to create and submit their own ward maps for consideration. Residents may submit written feedback ahead of a public hearing. Written feedback should be submitted via email to: committeeoncommitteesandrules@cityofchicago.org . Specific deadlines for public comment will be detailed on the notices for the meetings, which are available to view on the City's Legistar website . Finally, residents can sign up to speak during the public comment period at a hearing. To sign up for the public comment period, individuals should call 312-744-6800 and leave a voice message with their name and telephone number. Requests for public comments are accepted from 12:01 am the Monday before the scheduled meeting until 8 am on the day before the scheduled meeting. Anyone who wants to participate in the public comment period must be available at 10 am on the day of the meeting and have access to a touch-tone telephone. More information on how to sign up for public comments for a committee meeting is available on the City Clerk's website . When are the next hearings? Per conversations with the Committee on Rules, there will be two hearings next week. Tuesday, December 7, at 3 pm; and Friday, December 10, at 1 pm. Written public comments can be submitted to Michelle.Evans@cityofchicago.org until 10 am the day before each hearing. Official notices of the public hearing containing information on how to submit written comments are available on the City's Legistar website . The future of remapping: One of the frequent comments heard throughout this process was that it lacked transparency. While the Peoples Map solved the most significant issue of Chicago's remapping process by bringing more participation and transparency to the process, the coalition failed to include the input of alderpeople in guiding the process. Alderpeople have a unique lens into their wards that go beyond politics. Alderpeople have historical context for communities and their different needs, they're aware of infrastructure and development projects in the pipeline, and they have connections to city services. The redistricting process has been the most collaborative process that City Council has undertaken this term, and a part of what guided that process was the unique lens that alderpeople have into their communities. The solution to creating better processes and more transparency around redistricting would be a marriage of the two. The redistricting process has been a learning experience; I will take the feedback and what I learned to work with the Committee on Committee and Rules to improve the process and make it more participatory and transparent for the public.

Solicitudes de cambio de zonificación Una de las mayores preocupaciones que han expresado las personas en el Distrito 49 es la falta de un plan coherente para el desarrollo en el Distrito 49. Actualmente, el desarrollo parece ser algo que simplemente se nos permite y la opinión de la comunidad, cuando se permite, a menudo se encuentra al final de un proceso de toma de decisiones. La concejal Hadden quiere trabajar con los residentes de la comunidad para garantizar que realmente tengamos un proceso de zonificación transparente e impulsado por la comunidad. Además, quiere que la comunidad colabore con los constructores y desarrolladores locales para determinar qué queremos ver en el barrio en los próximos 5, 10 y 15 años. La zonificación impulsada por la comunidad ha funcionado en otros distritos y también funcionará aquí. Proceso de cambio de zonificación: Paquete de cambio de zonificación

Glenwood Commuter Safety Glenwood Commuter Safety Feedback Results On March 9, the 49th Ward office hosted a town hall meeting where we discussed a proposal to modify the traffic to flow one-way northbound on Glenwood between Pratt and Devon. A recording of that meeting is available to view by clicking here . Since Alderwoman Hadden first entered office in 2019, residents have consistently reached out with concerns about this particular stretch of Glenwood. The street is nestled in a dense area with many pedestrians. The heavy foot traffic combined with the existing bike lanes and two-way vehicular traffic on a narrow residential street has created unsafe conditions. In 2021, our office convened a community meeting with neighbors and residents to discuss the issue further. The objective of the meeting was to take a broader look at this stretch of Glenwood and see how we can improve safety for all users (motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians). After soliciting feedback from area residents, CDOT conducted a traffic study for this stretch of Glenwood. Upon the conclusion of that study, they recommended modifying traffic to flow one-way northbound on Glenwood between Pratt and Devon. The northbound direction was determined by conversations with first responders who indicated that they needed it to remain northbound for their vehicles in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the proposal calls to keep the existing bike lanes, which connect to a greenway both north and south of this stretch. The proposal calls for no elimination of parking. A copy of the traffic study is available to review by clicking here . After our community meeting, we asked commuters of all types to share their feedback and ideas on how to improve commuter safety along this stretch of Glenwood. For the open-ended questions, a plurality (48.9%) of respondents expressed they liked the proposal in its current form and didn't have additional feedback to provide. Of the 331 respondents, only 8% responded that the proposal shouldn't be pursued and that no changes should be made to adjacent streets. 9% of respondents said they had no feedback to offer or didn't respond at all to the open-ended questions. Others made recommendations to enhance pedestrian and bike safety, with suggestions ranging from raised crosswalks to closing streets to vehicular traffic. Respondents also made suggestions on what traffic safety measures and signage can be installed on adjacent blocks to improve safety and help motorists navigate the area.
