Alderman Dowell Attends Bronzeville Trail Open House

Alderman Dowell was proud to attend the open house for the Bronzeville Trail September 23rd. A project she has long championed, the Bronzeville Trail Open House provided residents with an opportunity to share their ideas for the proposed trail and surrounding areas, including pedestrian and bicycle improvements, trail amenities, access ramps, and other enhancements to improve neighborhood connectivity and access to public space. Community feedback will help inform the framework plan, including how the trail connects to surrounding neighborhoods and what improvements should be prioritized as the project moves forward.

Launched in fall 2025, the Bronzeville Trail Framework Plan is a long-term planning process focused on the proposed conversion of the former Kenwood rail embankment and identifying opportunities to improve the surrounding area. The framework plan is anticipated to be finalized in early 2027 and will serve as a guide for future improvements within the study area. For more information about the trail, visit www.bronzevilletrail.org.

Alderman Dowell Joins One Community Near South Discussion

On September 29th, Alderman Dowell, along with her colleagues Alderman Bill Conway (34th), Lamont Robinson (4th), and Nicole Lee (11th), took part in a neighborhood discussion with One Community Near South. Thank you to Grace Place (637 S. Dearborn St.) for hosting, and to everyone who came out to engage in this wide-ranging conversation. The event focused on "The 78" development, neighborhood bike lanes, public safety, the proposed Amtrak railyard project, and area traffic management.

Residents, Business, Alderman Dowell Enjoy Final Bronzeville Summer Nights in 2026

Organized by Quad Communities Development Corporation, this annual event always draws a crowd! Thank you to Rhonda McFarland, QCDC staff, and the entire business community for showing up and showing out for our wonderful Bronzeville neighborhood. Already looking forward to 2027!

Alderman Dowell Partners with ILSOS Giannoulias for Mobile DMV

Thank you to the office of Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias for bringing their Mobile DMV van down to the 3rd Ward. Mobile DMV services include: driver's license renewals, corrections, and replacements; converting a standard driver's license to a REAL ID; new, renewed, or corrected State IDs (including free state IDs for seniors aged 65+); vehicle registration and license plate sticker sales; voter registration; and organ/tissue donor sign-ups. This was a great opportunity for local residents to access the DMV without traveling to a regular Illinois Secretary of State location.

Alderman Dowell Celebrates Debut of Roberts Temple Facade Restoration

"Let the world see what I see” said Mrs. Mamie Till-Mobley after the grisly murder of her only child whose funeral was held at Roberts Temple COGIC (4021 S. State St.) in Bronzeville. To preserve the Church's place in the history of the Civil Rights movement, Alderman Dowell was proud to celebrate the historic facade restoration in recognition of the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument. It was an occasion to reflect on the past and spark inspiration with remarks from Dr. Marvel Parker, Bishop Ocie Booker, Congressman Bobby Rush, National Trust for Historic Preservation CEO and President Brent Leggs, and Tiffany Tolbert of the African American Cultural Heritage Fund.

Renaissance Collaborative Completes Wabash YMCA Phase I and II Renovation

Alderman Dowell was on hand to celebrate the completion of Phase I and Phase II of the renovation of the landmarked Wabash YMCA (3763 S. Wabash Ave.). Congratulations to The Renaissance Collaborative for their hard work throughout this important restoration process, led by Executive Director Oji Eggleston and Board President Sheila Radford-Hill. State Representatives Kim du Buclet (5th), Michael Crawford (31st) and Alderman Pat Dowell spoke about the past, present and future impact of this Bronzeville institution.

Alderman Dowell Joins Ray Graham Block Party

Ray Graham Training Center (2347 S. Wabash Ave.) hosted their annual block party in September, and the street was full of young people and their teachers having some good old-fashioned fun! Principal Kusan Thomas has been a great leader of this institution in the South Loop.

Ray Graham Training Center offers all students ages 18-22 an individualized instructional program that is designed to meet their unique educational, physical and emotional needs. Ray Graham provides a developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive and community responsive education that assists their students in becoming productive members of society.

Second Presbyterian Church Unveils Newly Restored Jeweled Tiffany Window

On September 19th, Second Presbyterian Church (1936 S. Michigan Ave.) held a celebration to reveal their newest, fully restored 134-year-old jeweled Tiffany window. This brings the total number of restored Tiffany stained-glass windows to four with eight still awaiting restoration. Thank you to Friends of Historic Second Church and Marshall Field V for driving this project forward.

This window was restored by Tom Venturella as part of a 14-month effort to revive the magnificent stained-glass structure. At 16 feet high and 8 1/2 feet wide, the window was originally designed by the firm of Louis Comfort Tiffany, and was donated to Second Presbyterian by the family of department store founder Marshall Field in 1927. To see the windows, tour the historic church, or take in a service, visit www.secondpreschicago.org.

43rd Steet Construction Updates

Alderman Dowell is providing an update to the construction activity currently underway along 43rd Street between Cottage Grove Avenue and Prairie Avenue.

The Department of Water Management's (DWM) water main project is nearing completion. Concrete work has been completed, with the remaining work consisting primarily of minor paving on Vernon Avenue, approximately 300 feet of paving on 43rd Street near Cottage Grove Avenue, and minor landscaping. DWM anticipates completing the remaining work within approximately 1–2 weeks.

The Chicago Department of Transportation's upcoming 43rd Street Streetscape Section 2, covering from approximately Prairie Avenue to Evans Avenue, is currently in the procurement process. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2027. Based on the timeline of similar streetscape work, businesses and property owners should anticipate that construction will likely extend well over a year, with some final project elements potentially not installed until 2029.

Additional information about the overall project is available on the Bronzeville Corridor Streetscape Improvements page. CDOT will provide advance notice and informational materials prior to construction. Once work begins, regular coordination meetings will also be held to help address construction impacts and maintain communication with businesses, property owners, residents, and other stakeholders along the corridor.

Finally, construction at the 43rd Street Green Line Station is anticipated to continue through the end of 2026. The project is currently approximately six months behind its original substantial-completion schedule due to unforeseen conditions encountered during construction.

Finding Public EV Charging in Chicago

Charging your electric vehicle outside of the home can be difficult. Luckily, the Chicago Department of Transportation has some helpful tips on how to find a public EV charging station while you are out! First, use an online map or app to locate EV chargers and see information about the stations before you travel. Apps like the Alternative Fueling Station Locator, PlugShare, or your vehicle's navigation system or mobile app can help.

Second, know your charging options. Most public EV stations fall into two categories - Level 2 charging where you will be parked for several hours, or DC fast charging which provides more power for a quicker charge. Net, check the cost and payment options, and have a backup plan in case the station is occupied or unavailable. Finally, check that the station works for you EV. Not every public charger is compatible with every EV. Following these simple steps can help you have a better experience when locating and using the City's public EV charging network.

Business Violation - 43rd Food & Tobacco, Inc. (200 E. 43rd St.)

The Chicago Department of Administrative Hearings held hearings on September 4, 2026 and September 15, 2026 regarding 43rd Food & Tobacco, Inc. (200 E. 43rd St.) for furnishing tobacco products, samples, or accessories to an individual who is under the age of twenty-one (21), among other violations. As a result of the hearings, judgments of $10,040 and $1,640 were entered against 43rd Food and Tobacco, Inc. Questions regarding this judgment can be directed to the 3rd Ward Public Service Office at 773-373-9273.

Business Violation - Southern Chicago LLC (2000 S. Wabash Ave.)

The Chicago Department of Administrative Hearings held a hearing on September 15, 2026 regarding Southern Chicago LLC (2000 S. Wabash Ave.) for operating without a business license. As a result of that hearing, a judgment of $1,390 was entered against Southern Chicago LLC. Questions regarding this judgment can be directed to the 3rd Ward Public Service Office at 773-373-9273.

Ordinances Sponsored by Alderman Dowell in September 2026

O2026-0027579 - Amendment of Municipal Code Section 17-2-0207 requiring special use permits for single room occupancy (SRO) residential development in RT4 through RT6.5 zoning districts. This ordinance would change from permitted by right to requiring a special use permit, all SRO developments in residential district RT4 and above. By requiring a special use permit, the developments must notify the community of the proposed SRO and engage in conversations with neighbors on the characteristics and fit for this type of development.

R2026-0028815 - Establishment of Problem Landlord and Housing Court Coordination Task Force to examine and recommend improvements to response to chronic and repeat housing code violations. The City of Chicago already keeps a list of "problem landlords," yet tenants continue to face issues related to their buildings like unsafe living conditions, delayed repairs, building code violations, and retaliation by landlords. In addition, the resources available for tenants are confusing to navigate and difficult to access. To better meet the needs of Chicago residents, this resolution would create a "Problem Landlord and Housing Court Coordination Task Force" empowered to make recommendations to improve the City's response to chronic and repeat housing code violations and coordination of those matters with the Circuit Court of Cook County. Recommendations made by the task force would be sent to the full City Council for discussion and implementation.

R2026-0028877 - Call for hearing(s) on Amtrak Midwest Maintenance Facility site selection, alternatives, federal environmental review and possible effects on nearby communities and shared rail operations. Alderman Dowell has been actively supporting her aldermanic colleagues both within the community and in City Council to provide oversight of the proposed Amtrak Midwest Maintenance facility in the Bridgeport/Fuller Park neighborhood. This development has the potential to significantly impact the health and quality of life of neighborhood residents - especially those at Wentworth Gardens, TE Brown Apartments, and the congregation of Progressive Baptist Church - and needs to be fully understood before any actions are taken. Alderman Dowell has asked twice for representatives of Amtrak to meet with 3rd Ward residents, and Amtrak has yet to respond. This resolution would bring Amtrak before City Council so that aldermen and the communities they represent have the opportunity to seek clarity on the project and discuss potential mitigation or relocation efforts.
