Participatory Budgeting (PB)

In the 48th ward, we use Participatory Budgeting (PB) to empower our community members to determine how to spend allocated funds — called “menu funds” — for ward infrastructure improvements.

PB is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend $1 million towards permanent infrastructure improvements in our ward. It gives people real power over real money. Project ideas are generated and voted on by you: the community.

Submit a project for future consideration!

We are always taking submissions from the community for future PB funding ideas. Use one of the forms below to submit your idea for consideration.

  • Have an idea for a special project? Use this form to share it with our office.

  • Is there a repair that you think needs special attention? Use this form to share it with us.
