Dear 33rd Ward Community,
I began my second term as alderwoman just over 100 days ago. I began this term filled with inspiration from the stories our community shared with me while I was campaigning. I have carried that momentum, and all of your ideas, into developing plans for this next term. My office is excited to continue working alongside all of our community partners, neighbors, and our colleagues in City Hall.
I am very proud of the fact that the Treatment Not Trauma ordinance has begun to move through City Council in earnest with the cooperation of Mayor Johnson’s administration and the incredible organizing efforts of people across Chicago. This ordinance seeks to reopen the public mental health clinics that were closed across Chicago, and would create a mental health crisis first responder plan to ensure people are receiving essential care in their time of most need.
I also began serving as Chairwoman to the Committee on Health and Human Relations for City Council. This committee will continue to develop the Treatment Not Trauma ordinance among many other efforts to provide for the health and wellbeing of Chicagoans. My office is excited to share information and resources with you all along the way.
Our Summer has been full of so much activity in the community. We started the summer with a beautiful community event at North River Aspira school. Thanks to the support of Mayor Johnson’s administration we were able to fund dance classes for the kids, art, music, and delicious food provided by our neighbors. We finalized plans for our Participatory Budgeting process from last year that resulted in playground improvements at both Linne Elementary and Bateman Elementary. As these projects develop we will continue to share updates. We supported the efforts of our community through the Community Care Collective to provide aid through material resources and food to migrant families that have begun to make Chicago their new home. I recently approved plans for developing 45 units of affordable housing on Irving Park Rd after a two-year community engagement and review process. Lastly, we partnered with many Back to School events to ensure our young neighbors had the resources they needed to start school last week.
All of this work could not happen without the support and guidance of our incredible community. You all keep me and my staff inspired and energized to move all of these projects forward.
-Rossana

Road Closure Notice – Guatemalan Parade
Sunday, September 10, 2023. Montrose Ave between Kimball and California will be closed to traffic from 10:30am – 2:00pm. Portions of Kimball Ave will be closed down for parade floats to dismount. Please make all plans accordingly. Our office will share any updates as plans develop.
Pedestrian and Traffic Safety legislative update
Over the last few weeks, our office has introduced a number of new ordinances that will remove rush hour parking restrictions on Belmont Avenue and Pulaski Road. These prohibitions are often very old ordinances and create a more hectic roadway where streets like Belmont and Pulaski are meant to be four lanes each way outside of rush hour and two lanes each way at other times of the day. This creates more situations where cars may be using the parking lane to pass other cars while cars are still parked in the parking lane. Before the addition of protected bike lanes on Belmont, this could happen frequently.
The Pulaski ordinance specifically is an outgrowth of a traffic study that the 33rd Ward office requested following a deadly hit-and-run last fall. Additionally, speed radar signs will be installed at the intersection of Pulaski and Sunnyside to notify drivers of their speed in each direction of travel.
Given that Pulaski is a state road, there are jurisdictional limits to the types of pedestrian safety improvements that can be implemented and these would require sign-off from the Illinois Department of Transportation to be consulted. Removing the rush hour parking restrictions is the first step to allowing CDOT to officially line the parking lane. This also creates room for our office to request the addition of pedestrian safety improvements like curb extensions as CDOT has informed us that these improvements are not permitted with the rush hour parking restrictions in place.
Liquor Moratorium Lift Request (3158 W Montrose Ave)
Our office hosted a virtual community meeting on Wednesday, August 23 to gather community input on a business’s proposal to have a liquor moratorium lifted in our ward. Our office is accepting feedback through September 6 at 5pm. Please use the link to provide feedback on the proposed liquor moratorium lift.
Feedback Form Link: https://forms.gle/A5pHqtSF4z6EKLCW7
The owner of David’s Liquor & Liquor (3158 W Montrose Ave) is requesting a liquor moratorium be lifted in order to sell his business to another party. As a result, the current liquor moratorium for the area will have to be lifted in order for the new party to apply and obtain a new Packaged Goods License at the current address. If the liquor moratorium is lifted, this would also allow other businesses in the area to apply for Packaged Good Licenses. Please note that this does not mean that every business will be approved for a liquor license.
The current liquor moratorium in place restricts the issuance of Packaged Goods Licenses (retail sale of alcohol) on W Montrose Avenue between N Kedzie Avenue and N Sacramento Avenue. The description of the liquor moratorium from the Chicago Municipal Code is listed below for your reference.
Chicago Municipal Code Section 4-60-023
(33.17) On Montrose Avenue, from Kedzie Avenue to Sacramento Avenue. (Added Coun. J. 10-3-12, p. 35378, § 3)
Federal Flooding Assistance
President Biden approved a Disaster Declaration for the State of Illinois, and Cook County more specifically, for this summer’s heavy rainstorms. Residents and business owners who sustained losses during the flooding during the period of storms from June 29 – July 2, 2023 can immediately begin to apply for assistance by clicking here. You can also call FEMA at 800-621-3362. Block Club Chicago has provided a guide for applying for disaster assistance. FEMA is taking applications for assistance through October 16, 2023. More detailed information about applying for relief can be found below in our newsletter.
Grid-Based Tree Trimming
The Bureau of Forestry is no longer receiving individual tree trimming requests and has shifted to a grid-based maintenance schedule similar to the street sweeping schedule. You can view the map here.
Previously completed grid section: N032 W028, which covers Addison to Belmont from California to Kedzie
Current grid section: N040 W028, which covers Montrose to Irving Park Rd from California to Kedzie
Each grid segment can take between three weeks and two months to complete. Tree trimming personnel will be in the ward weekly, weather permitting. Similar to street sweeping notifications, trees will be posted with signage in advance of tree trimming. Upon the completion of each grid segment, we will make an announcement about which grid will be completed next. If you’re worried about the immediate safety of the area around a given tree due to its conditions, you can reach out to 311 or our office so the appropriate service request can be made.
The results of both increased funding for the Department of Forestry and move to a grid-based system has resulted in more than triple the amount of trees being trimmed this year compared to the same time period last year. This change in system, along with an increase in full-time equivalents for forestry operations in the 2023 budget, will mean more trees in our ward, and the city, will be maintained than year’s past.
School-bus driver shortage will impact area schools
Without school buses, the campus of Edison Regional, Hibbard Elementary, and Albany Park Multicultural Academy is expecting a significant increase in car traffic. To accommodate this, the schools are creating a “drop and go” location at the eastern corner of the campus on Argyle and Sawyer. Another “drop and go” zone will be located at the western corner at Ainslie and Sawyer. Given the area traffic patterns, the principals encourage parents to use the eastern drop and go location at Argyle and Sawyer. Please note: No parking will be permitted along Ainslie between Sawyer and Kedzie and no use of the alley behind the school will be permitted.
Having trouble filling a vacant apartment? Chicago Rents can help:

Chicago Rents provides support to both the tenant and the landlord throughout the duration of the lease. If you’re a landlord who’s interested in learning more, click here. Landlords can also fill out a survey by clicking here and Chicago Rents staff will reach out to you.
Kedzie Avenue Complete Streets realignment
The Chicago Department of Transportation is in the final stages of a new Complete Streets curb alignment along Kedzie Avenue that further shields both bikes and pedestrians from car traffic. Within the 33rd Ward, this new alignment is in place for four blocks from Belmont Avenue to Addison Street.
This new parking configuration will take time to get used to for residents and business owners and customers; in the long term this will make Kedzie safer for all users of the road. CDOT has prepared instructional materials with how to park in this new alignment. Our office also encourages drivers to familiarize themselves with “The Dutch Reach” when exiting a vehicle. This way of exiting a vehicle encourages drivers and passengers to open a car door with their far-hand. This gives a person exiting the vehicle a better line of sight of oncoming traffic. This technique has saved the lives of countless bike riders and pedestrians around the world who might otherwise have been doored and can also be extremely helpful for keeping people exiting vehicles safe from oncoming traffic.
Block party applications are open!

Filming Notice – August 27th, 2023

Traffic and Pedestrian Safety reminder
As traffic violence continues to increase against pedestrians, bicyclists, and even first responders like firefighters and paramedics, remember to obey traffic signals including red lights. Our office also asks that drivers remember that they must yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. If you see this sign and a pedestrian is present, you must let them cross before proceeding. Additionally, our office encourages drivers to be patient and generous with all users of the road. Remember that pedestrians and cyclists are not surrounded by air bags or encased in a ton of steel.

Sign Petition to help Walmart Delivery Workers on Spark App
Join Justice for App Workers in calling on Walmart to put a stop to the scamming and bots hurting Walmart delivery workers across the country. For months, Walmart’s delivery drivers across the country have faced scams, intimidation, and even death threats by a rogue group of drivers who have hacked the Spark app, which drivers use to deliver Walmart goods to customers. These corrupt scam drivers unfairly hoard delivery orders and cut off access for other legitimate delivery workers to store orders, making it impossible for them to do their job. Scam leaders have refused to re-distribute these Walmart digital orders to their fellow delivery drivers unless we pay them with cash or sometimes even through cell phones or marijuana. Sign the petition and learn more by clicking here.

COMMUNITY SAFETY UPDATES

We encourage everyone to participate in the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA), attend your regular beat meetings (CAPS), and your local CCPSA District Council local meetings.
Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability
