Speed Bumps Speed bumps can be installed on either a residential street or in an alley. Speed bumps are an effective way to slow down traffic, making the street safer for all that use it. The 49th Ward office does require a petition process in order to install speed bumps. After 70% of units on the affected street sign the petition, please return it to the office. From there, we will work with the Chicago Department of Transportation in determining the feasibility of implementation and having them installed. You can download a petition for a residential street or an alley below. Street Speed Bump Petition Alley Speed Bump Petition Topes de Velocidad - Esp Para El Callejón - Esp

Metra Station Renovation Project January 2025 Renovation Updates Our office received news from the Office of Senator Dick Durbin that an additional $115 million in federal funding was secured for infrastructure projects across the state, including $23.6M for the Rogers Park Metra Station renovation. During our last meeting in 2024, Metra announced that work could begin on the renovations as early as 2025 on the new station. During our latest meeting, however, they announced that the project has experienced delays due to funding snags at the federal level. In light of this award, our office has reached out to Metra representatives to ask for an updated timeline and if the $23.6M award can bridge the remaining gap in construction costs. At this point in time, the project's schedule has not changed and it is not yet known if this award will cover construction costs. However, we will continue to work closely with our Metra partners on the timeline of construction and advocate for as soon of a completion time as possible. Metra serves as an economic engine for the entire Chicagoland region, and this renovation will serve as a catalyst for economic development in Rogers Park. To view Metra's presentation, click here .

Resources for Immigrants All Chicago residents, regardless of immigration status, can use City services. And every person has legal rights in the United States - including undocumented immigrants. It's important that undocumented immigrants know their rights if ICE comes to their door. Below are some informational materials to help you understand your rights in these situations. Fighting Against Fascist Occupation Download English Guide Haitian Creole Descargar Guía en Español Ukranian Télécharger le Guide en Français Mandarin ICIRR Hotline If you see or experience ICE activity, call the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights' (ICIRR) 24-Hour Family Support Hotline: 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693). For more information on ICIRR's hotline go to icirr.org/fsn . Here’s how you can stay informed and help others: Understand ICE Tactics: ICE often carries out operations early in the morning, targeting people as they leave for work or take their children to school. They may also set up traffic stops, visit workplaces, or go to people’s homes. Even if someone is not the primary target, ICE has historically detained others who are present. Know Your Rights: Every person in the U.S. has constitutional protections, and knowing how to exercise those rights can make all the difference in a moment of interaction with ICE: You do NOT have to open your door unless ICE presents a warrant signed by a judge. ICE forms are not signed by judges and do not grant permission to enter your home. If you come into contact with ICE officers, stay calm, do not run, and do not provide information about your immigration status. Do not sign anything you don’t understand, and do not provide false documents. If you are questioned, you can calmly state that you wish to speak with a lawyer before proceeding. Create a Safety Plan: Planning ahead is essential. Make sure your family has emergency contact information, and ensure schools or daycare centers have updated contact details for emergencies Get Prepared! WBEZ put together a helpful article on what Chicago Public Schools, parents or guardians, and students can do, including how to talk to children about the chances of Federal Immigration Officers in Chicago. A reminder that CPS does not allow immigration agents into schools without a warrant.
