Happy Passover to all who are celebrating! May this week be filled with community and joy.
Every day, Trader Joe's workers provide nourishing food and a friendly face for residents across the 47th Ward. Now, they're fighting for a union so every worker receives a fair wage, a safe workplace, and affordable healthcare. They've had our back, now we have theirs ✊🏽

That's why I co-sponsored Ald. La Spata's resolution to host a committee hearing on 4/11 to discuss lowering Chicago's default speed limit. Let's follow the lead of LA, DC, NYC, and even Evanston, to make our streets safer for all users. (2)
Vehicle speeds are directly correlated with the level of danger of vehicle crashes, which took the lives of 127 Chicagoans in 2022. Two of those deaths occurred in our 47th Ward, when drivers killed beloved members of our community on both arterial and resident streets. (1/)
Have you voted yet in the LSC elections? If not, polls close at 7pm today for elementary schools, and are open tomorrow 6am-7pm for high schools!! As a former LSC member myself and current CPS parent, I know first-hand all of the important work that LSC members do. Please vote!
Wishing you a happy and healthy Eid!
Our team took a brief break to (safely) look at the sun, but don’t worry — nothing will eclipse our dedication to the 47th Ward!
Join myself, CDOT, Better Streets Chicago, and other community organizations to find out about the many exciting infrastructure projects we have planned for 2024! 🗓️ Wednesday 4/10 at 6pm 📍Martyrs, 3855 N. Lincoln 🔗RSVP: bit.ly/lookahead47
Their recent work into how redistricting can affect the provision of city services was particularly illuminating ... and sobering. Political clout should never impact the quality of services that City governent provides. chicagobusiness.com/politics/study…
My thanks to Dr @robvargas21 and his colleagues at the UChicago Justice Project for their insights into how City government can better address community violence. 1/

The general inbox email auto-reply from @AldMattMartin's office is best in Chicago constituent services class. I truly have no idea why every ward office hasn't copied it, most don't even use an auto-reply to confirm receipt.
Chicago's 2024-2025 Sidewalk Cafe permit filing season has begun! Exciting cold weather news indeed! Congrats to @NandosUSA Lakeview, @murphysbleacher, and @OdaChicago on promptly applying for and receiving the first SWC permits of the new season!
Join me this Wednesday, Jan. 10th, at 10:30am in Council Chambers (121 N LaSalle, 2nd Floor) for a hearing on the Chicago Cycling Strategy. Hope to see you there!
The ordinance allowing outdoor patios for bars, restaurants, and tap rooms in manufacturing areas sails thru it’s City Council committee report just now. Congrats @IllinoisBeer and @AldMattMartin on all your hard work finally crossing the finish line. 🍻
The Central Park Avenue Safety Project adds a protected bike lane and raised crosswalks between Madison and Franklin Blvd., part of a growing network of bike infrastructure on the West Side, and also increases pedestrian refuge space at the main entrance of the @gpconservatory.
Let’s go to school! Ever since the contraflow lines were painted and bulb-outs poured last month it seems Leavitt is much quieter. I never ride on Damen anymore. So maybe drivers’ behavior has changed too as mine has. I think it’s working @AldMattMartin @josh_mark_goerg
For 40 years, Cafe Selmarie has sold coffee, pastries, cozy meals and weekend brunches to generations of loyal customers. This weekend, we said goodbye to a Lincoln Square institution, and wish owner Birgit Kobayashi and her family and staff all the best in their next chapter.
BREAKING: Chicago City Council has just voted to bring back the Department of Environment! With the passage of the 2024 Chicago Budget, City Council has voted to allocate $1.8 mil to re-establish the Department.
Thank you @RepKamBuckner! I'm grateful to serve as Chief Co-Sponsor of HR0438. Everyone - from pedestrians to bicyclists to public transit riders to drivers - deserves to know they're getting somewhere quickly, safely and effectively.
I’m grateful for @RepAnnWilliams. She understands that when it comes to mobility we need to find ways get the highest amount of people to the most places in the quickest amount of time as safely and effectively as possible with the least amount of burden on the environment.
It’s happening! Jackson protected bike lane is coming. Looks like bolt down curbs @slucy @mollyfleck.
This week, work began on improvements to Milwaukee Ave that will make the street safer and more inviting for everyone. The project includes: 🚲Protected bike lanes 🚏Improved bus stops 🚶♀️Safer intersections & reduced pedestrian crossing distances blockclubchicago.org/2023/10/03/pro…

Crews are making great progress upgrading the Dearborn bike lane to a concrete-protected lane, creating a safer and more comfortable bike route through River North! The project includes pedestrian bumpouts and refuge islands to shorten crossing distances for people walking.
The perils of privatizing a public good.
A stunning statistic from this new piece by @rmc031: Among those lucky enough to receive a housing voucher in America, some *40 percent* of recipients end up losing the voucher because no landlord will rent to them. vox.com/2023/9/12/2386…
Reflections on affordable housing in Chicago: you cannot build affordable housing only where it’s cheapest, or only where people will protest the least. You have to build it where it’s needed, which is everywhere. chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/2/23816…
Fully embracing the fact that we're an EBike family now.
When I bike to or from work, I often take Clybourn to the river trail at Belmont. The transition between the two is maybe the least safe feeling part of the trip, and so it’s very exciting that Belmont has protected lanes there now!
