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.

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.

Ashland, Rogers, and Birchwood Intersection Redesign 2024 Recap Last year, work began on an arterial resurfacing project that spanned Rogers Avenue from Touhy to Greenview which includes resurfacing the street, curb and gutter work, ADA ramps, crosswalks and street markings, and the redesign of the Rogers/Ashland/Birchwood intersection. On May 21st, 2024, Alderwoman Hadden hosted a community meeting on-site to discuss final improvements to the Rogers/Ashland/Birchwood intersection. From the feedback our office received, the intersection will include closing the section of Birchwood between Rogers and Ashland, new sidewalks, pavers, trees, and a refurbished World War I memorial to Joyce Kilmer. Starting the first week of April in 2025, construction began. During construction, a detour will be set in place for north-bound Ashland, north-bound Rogers, and west-bound Birchwood. This detour will be in effect for the full depth pavement replacement, catch basin work, and ADA work. 2025 Construction After the road has been replaced, temporary "No Parking" signs will be periodically installed as required for paving the final layer of asphalt and striping activities. These temporary signs will restrict parking during working hours, while adhering to rush hour restrictions, for the completion of the work. Below is a diagram showing the parking restrictions that will be in place; purple indicates where the road will be closed at, yellow indicates where parking restrictions already exist, and red indicates where parking will be restricted during construction. All work on this project is tentatively scheduled to be completed May 30th, 2025 pending no delays. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at Office@49thward.org or calling 773-338-5796.

Proyecto de estabilización de la costa The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has launched an interactive Crowdsource map for the public to leave comments on its Chicago Shoreline Study . The map is available on the Army Corps' website by clicking here . It is recommended that you use Google Chrome to open the site. On the map, users can pinpoint a specific location along the shoreline and submit a comment for consideration. Comments must be submitted by April 30, 2023. The USACE will be preparing a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document on the impacts associated with a Coastal Storm Risk Management study in the City of Chicago. The City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District partnered with the Corps to study ongoing shoreline erosion and coastal storm due to variable lake levels and storm-driven waves that impact our shoreline. The proposed study area includes Chicago's entire shoreline, from our border with Evanston to our border with Indiana. As a part of the study, the Army Corps will explore various measures that could be implemented along our shoreline to reduce coastal storm risks. These measures include the following: Structural (e.g., breakwaters, seawalls, revetments, and groins) Natural and Nature-based features (e.g., beach nourishment, submerged reefs, vegetation, ecologically enhanced structures) Non-structural (e.g., floodproofing, flood warning plans, emergency evacuation plans) As part of the NEPA scoping process, the Army Corps is seeking comments or concerns stakeholders have about potential impacts from the various measures that could be implemented. This could include impacts to various habitats, threatened and endangered species, or cultural, historical, and social resources. Our office has submitted preliminary feedback to the Army Corps for this critical study and has called for the following as they embark on this process: Commit to a robust community engagement process to allow Chicagoans to provide insight and feedback The 49th Ward was excluded from the 1994 Chicago Shoreline Storm Damage Reduction Project, which provided infrastructure and protections for just 8 miles of the City’s shoreline. In Rogers Park, private properties are located directly adjacent to the lake, which means they feel the impact of high lake levels and wave action on a much more intimate basis than other parts of the city that have public land barriers and other infrastructure (such as sea walls) to absorb or deflect wave impact. Residents are owed the opportunity to share their personal experiences and ideas to help inform the future of the shoreline. Restore beach access to Juneway, Rogers, and Howard beaches and repurpose emergency revetments as breakwaters As Lake Michigan reached historically high levels in 2019, the Department of Transportation was able to secure emergency funding from FEMA to install armor rock revetments at Juneway, Howard, and Rogers beaches. The revetments were critical in curtailing further erosion of public property and keeping park property safe. However, the installation of revetments restricted access to what had previously been beaches. Rogers Park has a unique history of being the last affordable neighborhood on the north side with access to the lakefront. Roger Park residents have enjoyed this access for generations, offering a more quiet opportunity to enjoy our greatest natural asset. As USACE studies potential solutions for Chicago’s shoreline, I ask that you look at restoring beach access and repurposing the armor rocks to act as breakwaters. Implement sustainable native, deep-rooted vegetation on the lakefront to combat erosion With a unique opportunity to shape the future of Chicago’s shoreline, we would like the Army Corps to explore sustainable options to combat erosion, such as planting marram grass or other native deep-rooted plants that have a track record of withstanding wave impact and mitigating the impacts of erosion. In the 49th Ward, a group of volunteers acts as stewards to the Loyola Park Sand Dunes. The natural vegetation abutting the lake proved resilient at the peak of Lake Michigan’s lake levels, with less damage at Loyola Park than at other parks to its north. In addition to providing a natural barrier to wave action, the plants help the ecosystem along Lake Michigan, allowing natural wildlife and insects to thrive. Individuals, organizations, and groups may also submit written comments to Ms. Samantha Belcik. Comments and questions will be accepted through the end of March and can be directed via email to Ms. Belcik at ChicagoShoreline@usace.army.mil . More on the Shoreline Study and its current status is available on the USACE website her e .
