PB49: ciclo 11 LEARN ABOUT THIS CYCLE'S FUNDED PROJECTS: The PB49 committees have been hard at work these past several months vetting ideas submitted and developing proposals. After working diligently contacting different city agencies and departments, the committed identified only two viable projects this year: improved lighting on Glenwood from Albion to Pratt and new planter boxes for the garden beds at Loyola Park. Given the low number of projects this cycle, our office will fund both items and allocate the remainder of the budget to street, alley, and sidewalk repairs. Those repairs will be determined from community input, the comprehensive infrastructure survey completed by the Streets & Infrastructure Committee, and recommendations from the Chicago Department of Transportation. With the disruption to the past few cycles due to the global pandemic, our office will be evaluating how we can reduce barriers and increase participation in this community-driven process moving forward. We will also be taking a look at project submissions from previous cycles to see if they should be reconsidered for inclusion in the upcoming cycle. Please stay tuned for more information on how to submit an idea during the next cycle of PB. If you have any questions and/or are interested in joining us for the next cycle, please email PB Coordinator Jeff Gonzalez at jeff@49thward.org .

Pratt Avenue Resurfacing Winter '24 - Spring '25 Timeline Neighbors, we have exciting news to share. This week, our office received notification from CDOT & contractors that Pratt Avenue from N. Western Ave. to N. Sheridan Rd. will be resurfaced beginning this year (during the winter of 2024), with a majority of the work scheduled for next year, spring 2025. Crews are tentatively scheduled to break ground beginning the week of November 25th, weather permitting. The work scheduled for this winter includes pavement patching, ADA sidewalk improvements, curb and gutter removal and replacement as needed for ADA and drainage compliance. To be clear, Pratt Avenue will not be ground and resurfaced this year. Only the above improvements will be made in winter 2025. The rest of the work including milling and paving the existing asphalt pavement, concrete bus pads, bike medians, and striping will be completed next spring. During construction, temporary “No Parking” signs will be periodically installed as required for each activity. These temporary signs will restrict parking during working hours for the completion of the work. The first phase of work (concrete work, ADA installation, and pothole filling) on Pratt Avenue is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2024. We are looking forward to this stretch of Pratt receiving some much-needed attention. Last week, Alderwoman Hadden met with CDOT representatives for a walk-through of Pratt Avenue to bring to crews' attention specific potholes and areas in need of fixing. Our office has been assured by CDOT that they will prioritize these locations per Alderwoman Hadden's instruction. If you have any questions about the scope or duration of this project, please reach out to the office via email at office@49thward.org or call 773-33-5796.

Loading/Standing Zones Loading Zones Loading zones are for the loading and unloading of deliveries to buildings. These zones are for commercial vehicles.They are not designated to reserve parking for business patrons or employees. Any commercial vehicle may park in any loading zone for the purpose of loading and unloading for up to thirty minutes. 15-Minute Standing Zones Standing zones are designated areas in the parking lane for temporary parking. Vehicles parking in standing zones must have their hazard lights flashing while the driver is away from the vehicle. Application Process In October 2020, CDOT migrated loading and standing zone permits to the IPS-11 permitting system. This migration allows loading zone permittees a more efficient way to apply for, manage, and pay for their private benefit sign permits. Permittees will have to create a new account or log in to their existing account in the permit portal. This will allow them to easily pay their fees and update their account information. Loading zone permittees must use this permit portal to pay their initial fees and their renewal fees. The links shown below will provide you with information on this process. Application
