3rd Ward Shines During 97th Annual Bud Billiken Parade

Alderman Dowell participated in the 97th Annual Bud Billiken Parade on August 8th, traveling down newly-resurfaced King Drive in a custom float welcoming the City to celebrate the culture and progress of the South Side of Chicago!

The warm and sunny day began with the CPS Alumni Challenge Celebration at Phillips High School, followed by the pre-parade festivities at Mandrake Park and the traditional march down King Drive through the heart of the Bronzeville community. The energy was high, and it was great to see so many children eagerly watching the many fabulous floats, marching bands, and dance teams. Everywhere there were smiles and excitement.

Congratulations to Myiti Sengstacke Rice, Antwan Anderson, city officials and the many volunteers who helped make this year’s parade special, continuing the great tradition first established in 1929. A special thank you to the Chicago Police Department, whose officers deftly and respectfully managed the large crowds of young people keeping attendees safe during and after the parade. The Bud Billiken Parade remains a cherished Chicago tradition—one that brings generations together and celebrates our children, our communities, and the spirit of Bronzeville.

3rd Ward Steps Up to Help Students Back to School

All across the 3rd Ward, residents, families, schools, and community organizations worked to prepare students to return to school for the 2026-27 School Year. As she does every year, Alderman Dowell not only hosted her own popular Back to School Fair, but she also donated to and participated in many other neighborhood events.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who came out and participated in the 3rd Ward Back to School Fair! Tons of great food (especially the tacos!), desserts, games, giveaways, and most importantly book bags filled with school supplies were enjoyed by all. What started as a rainy Saturday, turned out to be a beautiful weekend sendoff for neighborhood children. Alderman Dowell also celebrated the first day of school at Mollison Elementary School (4415 S. King Dr.) and South Loop Elementary School (1212 S. Plymouth Ct.), giving away bookbags packed with school supplies, and snow cones for the students. Finally, a big thank you to Acclivus, Senator Mattie Hunter, and Representative Kim DuBuclet for their help sponsoring the back to school event at Hair Experts Barber College on 47th Street. What a fun way to get ready for the first day!

2026 3rd Ward Pet Vaccine Clinic

On July 9th, Alderman Dowell and the Department of Animal Care and Control (CACC) welcomed dozens of dogs and their families to the annual 3rd Ward Pet Vaccine Clinic, held at the 3rd Ward Public Service Office. At the clinic, dogs were eligible to receive free vaccine and microchip services from licensed animal care professionals. Thank you to the veterinarians and staff from CACC who work every day to improve the health and safety of our pet population. And thank you to 3rd Ward staff for setting up this helpful community resource.

George Washington Statue Gets Artistic Upgrade

The George Washington statue at 51st St. and King Drive has been reimagined by visual artist/architect and Bronzeville resident Amanda Williams to celebrate “Other Washingtons." This artistic endeavor helps to reframe the conversation from solely focusing on America's founding father, to also honoring the accomplishments of Black Americans at this prominent South Side monument. Black history is on display as other Washingtons are celebrated, including such luminaries as Dinah Washington, Francine Washington, Laura Washington, Grover Washington, Denzel Washington and of course Mayor Harold Washington among others. Special thanks to the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and the Mellon Foundation for sponsoring this informative and insightful installation.

Alderman Dowell Celebrates Teachers at Mollison Elementary School

Thank you to Brandon Allen from Target and Bobby Parrish from Flav-City for their generous contributions.

Over the summer, CPS and the 3rd Ward have also invested in Mollison, funding facade improvements, an expanded King Drive entrance, the replacement of the louvers, adding window shades and vertical fans, installing landscape pavers, and more. This is in addition to new playground and parking lot that were already completed. Congratulations to Principal Shelagh Jackson on her leadership.

CTA Expanding Bus Service in the 3rd Ward

The Chicago Transit Authority is adding 10-minutes-or-better service to four more bus routes, further expanding its Frequent Network that launched last year. This includes the No. 35 - 31st St./35th bus route in the 3rd Ward. The Frequent Network provides service every 10 minutes or better on weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on weekends from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The other current Frequent Network routes in the 3rd Ward are: No. 12 Roosevelt, No. 47 47th, and No. 55 Garfield.

Unrelated to the Frequent Network, the CTA also is adding more buses to seven other routes by the end of the year, including to King Drive for earlier Sunday/holiday service. The extra scheduled buses are supported by new funding from the landmark Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act.

CTA Garfield Station Elevator Update

Alderman Dowell's office and the CTA are aware that the elevator servicing the Garfield Green Line CTA Station is not operational. This is due to a broken circuit board that must be replaced. CTA placed the order for the part in June, and was told by the manufacturer that there was no existing inventory of circuit boards available. The part is proprietary to the manufacturer and can not be obtained other than through the manufacturer. New circuit boards are being crafted and will be shipped to the CTA in approximately 6–7-weeks.

In order to avoid this issue moving forward, the CTA has ordered extra boards so that, in addition to repairing the current unit at the Garfield Station, the CTA will have spares available and hopefully avoid this type of extended outage if another circuit board fails in the future.

Wells Fargo Bank Opens at Pershing and King

On August 4th Alderman Dowell cut the ribbon on the new Wells Fargo Bank at Pershing Rd. and King Drive. This new branch helps bring needed banking services to a traditionally underbanked community.

Grant Park Participatory Budget

The Chicago Park District will be engaging with constituents in the 3rd Ward to implement the first Participatory Budget Process at Grant Park. Between September 1-30 Chicagoans age 13 and older have an opportunity to help the Chicago Park District prioritize how capital funds will be spent in “Chicago’s Front Yard - Grant Park.”

Through the Park District’s Give Back initiative, a portion of revenue from large, multi-day events held in Grant Park is reinvested into capital improvements. Grant Park’s Participatory Budgeting (PB) process allows the community to help decide how these funds are invested in the park.

This year, community members will vote on three proposed projects for Grant Park:

• Bathrooms at 9th & Columbus
• Dog-Friendly Area Redesign at 9th & Columbus
• Benches & Picnic Tables

The project receiving the most votes will be prioritized for funding through the Grant Park PB process. If the Bathrooms or Dog-Friendly Area Redesign project receives the most votes, PB funds will roll over to the next PB cycle to fully fund and complete the project, as the cost of these projects may exceed the amount currently available in PB funds.

There are two ways to vote:

• Online
• Paper ballot: Available at Maggie Daley Fieldhouse and Women's Park Fieldhouse

This is an opportunity for community members to directly help determine how funds are invested in Grant Park.
