| | | Dear Neighbors,
Fall is officially here, and Mother Nature even gave us a little rain over the weekend to wash away summer and welcome the new season in! And what better way to close out one season and step into another than spending a VERY busy Saturday popping around the 46th Ward.
I joined Sarah’s Circle for their annual block party, where neighbors came together for an afternoon of food, music, activities, and good old-fashioned block party fun. Lakeside was truly filled with love, laughter, and community! Special early congratulations to Kathy Ragnar (pictured) on her retirement from Sarah’s Circle too. We’re incredibly grateful for Kathy’s years of dedicated service and her commitment to providing housing and supportive services to women during some of their most vulnerable times of need. Her work has made a lasting impact on so many women and on our broader community.
Thank you to the entire Sarah’s Circle team for another great celebration and for always bringing neighbors together.
I also stopped by Clarendon Park for the Office of City Clerk’s Emergency Readiness Mobile City Hall, where neighbors could take care of City business while connecting with resources to help keep themselves and their families prepared. A huge thank you to the City Clerk’s Office, Chicago Police Department (CPD), Chicago Fire Department (CFD), The Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC), Get Covered Illinois, Chicago Public Library, The Kindness Campaign for giving away groceries, and all of the other partners who spent their Saturday bringing resources directly to our community.
From there, I joined the Haitian American Museum of Chicago (HAMOC) for its first-ever Circle Creative Fest! It was such a beautiful celebration of culture, creativity, and local art! I’m so glad I got to be part of the very first one. Thank you to HAMOC and everyone who helped bring this new celebration to life alongside Broadway!
I also made my way over to Truman College for City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin’s Money Matters Institute - Home Stretch Homebuyer Series, where neighbors were learning more about the homebuying process, down-payment assistance, and the resources available to help them on their path toward homeownership. Thank you to Treasurer Conyears-Ervin, Truman College, and all of the partners who helped bring this free resource to our community.
  
I ended the night with our Buena Park neighbors at their annual block party! It was the perfect way to wrap up a full day around the ward, outside on a final summer evening, enjoying music, fun, and time with neighbors. Thank you to the Buena Park Neighbors Association and everyone who helped make it happen!
Speaking of community, thank you to the neighbors at 3600 N. Lake Shore Drive for having me in their homes. I love being able to sit down together with neighbors to answer questions, hear what’s happening in your community, and make sure you know how our office can be a resource. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their thoughts, and spent part of their evening with me!
And of course, one of the biggest things to happen in the 46th Ward this week was our Annual Senior Sock Hop! We filled the Aragon Ballroom with our senior neighbors and spent the afternoon eating, laughing, connecting, and, most importantly, dancing the afternoon away!
|
|

There are SO many people to thank for making this day possible. Thank you to every resource partner who showed up for our seniors, every business and organization that donated food, prizes, giveaways, or support, and every single volunteer who gave their time and energy to help us pull it all together.
Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without a community of folks who are always willing to show up and go to bat for our senior neighbors.
A special thank you to all of our sponsors who helped us make this celebration possible, and of course, a huge thank you to the Aragon Ballroom for once again opening the doors of such an incredible and historic space and allowing us to give our seniors an afternoon they deserve. |

On Monday, I joined Street Samaritans to do outreach at Challenger Park and connect with houseless neighbors to invite them to our Resource Picnic this week. We heard from a neighbor who is hoping to enroll into Truman College next semester and another neighbor who had recently become houseless and was able to sign up for the coordinated entry list. We are so grateful for organizations like Street Samaritans! And this week we also celebrated our third anniversary of our Houseless Neighbor Resource Picnics! We stared these picnics in September of 2023 and since then we’ve served meals to hundreds of neighbors, passed out over 500 hygiene kits, connected countless neighbors to shelter and housing and welcomed over 15 community based organizations to join us and share resources!
 
A huge thank you to all of our community partners who continue to show up month after month, and a special thank you to Hamdard Health Alliance for joining us this month and helping connect neighbors with additional resources and support!
Three years into these picnics, I’m still incredibly grateful for every organization, volunteer, and neighbor who continues to show up and make this work possible.
 
We also hosted a tenant meeting for 840 W. Sunnyside tenants on Monday at Clarendon Park! We were joined by Uptown People’s Law Center and Northside Action for Justice to connect directly with tenants, share updates about the building’s renovation, and talk through concerns coming up for neighbors. It’s always great to connect directly with tenants and remind folks that tenants have the right to organize, advocate for themselves, and work together to improve conditions in their building!

Anniversary of Naloxone Newspaper Box Project
We are SO PROUD to celebrate the first Naloxone Newspaper Box Project in the city, launched more than a year ago by the 46th Ward and Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) on August 27th, 2025. Four repurposed newspaper boxes were placed in fully accessible hot spots around the ward and filled with Naloxone, a life saving medicine that can prevent overdose. In Chicago, opioid-related EMS responses increased from under 3,000 annually in 2015 to over 13,000 in 2020. Increasing access to life saving medication like Naloxone has led to the third year of reduced deaths due to opioid overdose in Chicago and the surrounding Cook County. Currently, data indicates that Chicago had a 23% decrease in opioid-related EMS responses in the first seven months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
Over the past year, these boxes have distributed over 1,200 boxes of Naloxone to 46th Ward neighbors. “This project saves lives,” says Sunny Jacob, a social worker at the Department of Family and Supportive Services (DFSS) Community Center at 845 W Wilson. A few months after the launch of these stands across the 46th Ward, staff at DFSS helped prevent a neighbor from overdosing during an event with ShowerUp using Naloxone from the box located outside of their office. The easy access and close proximity of Naloxone contributed to the staff’s swift action and the neighbor was safely transported to the hospital for treatment.
Our ward continues to be a leader in the fight against opioid death. All of our families have been impacted by addiction now we have resources for harm reduction tools accessible across our city. Providing free Naloxone in a space neighbors can access any time of the day is really just a continuation of the legacy of our ward. We meet neighbors where they are and look for creative solutions to address the real problems neighbors face.
The repurposed newspaper boxes are located outside on the sidewalk at the Institute for Cultural Affairs (ICA), Department of Family and Supportive Services (DFSS) Community Center, Cornerstone Community Shelter and Nourishing Hope and are routinely refilled by their host organization to keep them fully stocked. We also have a Naloxone CTA Vending Machine led by Cook County Health and CDPH at the Wilson Red Line and the CDPH Harm Reduction Vending Machine at the Uptown Library provide essential resources to neighbors in need in public and accessible spaces across the 46th Ward.

640 W Irving Park (American Islamic College / AIC) - Development Update!
Over the past few weeks, neighbors have reached out to the 46th Ward Office with questions about the the development at 640 W. Irving Park / the American Islamic College, related to permitting and the recent sale of the parking lot. We are including the most recent updates below.
Earlier this week, the development team also installed several temporary cameras in the area to conduct a traffic study and gather data about traffic patterns - if you’re wondering what they’re doing, now you know!
Several weeks ago, the American Islamic College sold the parking lot in the middle of the site to CityPads. The zoning entitlements (for a residential tower) from the existing Planned Development (approved in 2023 before Ald. Clay took office) are still in effect for this middle portion. Any expansions to the existing proposal (either a taller building or more units) would require a Planned Development (PD) Amendment and would go through the 46th Ward Community Zoning Process. A developer is permitted to build within the existing zoning envelope (i.e. a shorter building and/or building with fewer units) without going through the PD Amendment process. We would still share any new details about the project with the community as we become aware of them and host a community meeting as appropriate. CityPads has communicated that they plan to continue renting parking spaces in the lot to neighbors; they are currently finalizing the logistical and operations arrangements. KGiles LLC, the original development entity, owns the existing AIC building and is proceeding with the adaptative reuse project to do a residential conversion of the site. Though they recently applied for building permits, they are still currently seeking financing and finalizing potential contractors and do not yet have a construction timeline. If and when they have a construction timeline, we will co-host a construction logistics meeting with their team for community members.
Please reach out to us if you have any questions about this - given that multiple developers are now involved in what was originally proposed as a single project, we understand that the situation can be confusing. |
|
| | | Alley Reconstruction - Leland / Eastwood / Clarendon!
Leland neighbors, please be advised that alley reconstruction for the alley bound Leland, the Uplift Soccer Field, Eastwood, and the Weiss Parking Garage began this week.
Only the North-South portion of the alley right next to the soccer field will be rebuilt and the rest of the alley will remain accessible.
This means that the majority of neighbors will retain access to their parking spaces - only neighbors living at 849-51 W. Leland will need to seek alternative parking arrangements.
Construction is expected to take up to six weeks, weather permitting. If scheduling permits and we are fortunate, contractors may be able to finish the work in under three weeks.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the Ward Office via phone (773-878-4646) or email ([email protected]). |

| | Modernized Traffic Signals Coming at Leland and Sheridan!
Several weeks ago, Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) contractors began rebuilding the Leland / Sheridan intersection as part of a project to install modernized traffic signals at this intersection.
The new traffic signals will include pedestrian walk signs to increase safety at the intersection, and crews will also be extending the curb to reduce pedestrian crossing distances.
Workers are currently completing concrete work at the intersection to extend and rebuild curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Next week, crews plan to began installing the foundations for the new traffic signals; this work may take up to 2-3 weeks. After installation of the new foundations, restoration and electrical work is expected to take an additional 4-6 weeks.
All in all, CDOT expects the new signals to be installed and functioning by October and November. |
|
| | 4600 - 4800 N. Racine Water Main Update: Restoration Continues!
In May, the Department of Water Management (DWM) began work on a project to replace the water main on Racine between Wilson and Broadway. This project entails replacing the existing (more than 120 year-old!) water main and replacing all existing lead service lines along this stretch of Racine.
Crews have installed the new water main, installed all new service lines, and shut off the old water main; all underground plumbing work has been completed.
Crews began restoration work the first week of September. The vast majority of concrete work to rebuild the road foundation, curbs, and gutters, has been completed and - pending favorable weather - will wrap up early next week.
After the completion of the concrete base, the contractors have 30 days to complete the remaining restoration work (milling and repaving the road surface and adjusting utility/drainage structures as needed). This means that all work should be completed before the end of October, leaving Racine looking as good as new before Halloween!

New Streetlights Coming to 4600-4800 Beacon Street
Neighbors, you may have noticed more orange no-parking signs in Sheridan Park!
These restrictions are in place to enable CDOT (Chicago Department of Transportation) contractors to install new and more reliable streetlights on this stretch of Beacon. The supervising engineers anticipate this project should be complete by the end of October, as long as the weather cooperates.
Crews will install new street lights with "piggy-back" lights (which provide better sidewalk illumination) over the next several weeks. Once the new streetlights are installed, electrified, and functioning, crews will remove the old ones. Afterward, they will complete concrete and asphalt restoration as necessary. |

New Streetlights Coming to Sheridan Road (Montrose to Buena)
Neighbors, new street lights are coming to Sheridan Road!
CDOT (Chicago Department of Transportation) contractor will install new and more reliable streetlights on this stretch of Sheridan. The supervising engineers anticipate the project should be completed by mid-October, as long as the weather cooperates.
Crews have installed new streetlights with "piggy-back" lights (which provide better sidewalk illumination) over the next several weeks. Once the new streetlights are installed, electrified, and functioning, crews will remove the old ones. Afterward, they will complete concrete and asphalt restoration as necessary.
We understand that streetwork across the ward can cause parking challenges, and we are doing our best to keep all projects on track and on time. |
