Every year, each Alderman receives $1.5 million that can be used to bring infrastructure improvements to public property in the ward. This source of funding is used to repave streets, resurface alleys, create bike lanes, and other infrastructure projects. 

Participatory Budgeting is the community-led process the 33rd Ward uses to give residents the power to decide how to spend $1 million toward improving their neighborhoods.
