Construction Updates: October 9, 2024
Please be advised of the following upcoming and ongoing construction in the ward:
New Bus Stop Bench at Rosemont & Broadway
We have a new bus stop bench for neighbors waiting for the #36 bus at Rosemont and Broadway! Our office was able to secure funding for this bench from CDOT. Thank you to CDOT and the CTA for making this happen!
Bryn Mawr Dog Friendly Area: Drainage & Paving Project
Our office has secured funding from the Chicago Park District to address drainage concerns at the Bryn Mawr Dog Friendly Area. We are rebuilding the entrance and improving grading and drainage to alleviate mud and overflow onto the southern sidewalk. Further, drainage improvements will also be installed inside the dog friendly area to capture runoff. The Bryn Mawr Dog Friendly Area will be closed through late October while this work takes place.
Note: This project idea came out of the Participatory Budget process; you didn't see it on the ballot because we were able to secure funding from the Chicago Park District!
