August 27th Update

Dear Friend,

Four new bikeways have been selected and designed for the Portage Park Community in 2026. The installation of a new bike lane and three greenways is expected to start this fall on Berteau, Long, Hutchinson and Central. These bikeways will provide a connected network of safe, family-friendly options for residents to reach neighborhood destinations, including schools, parks, and local businesses. The new planned bikeways were selected based on community feedback, priority destinations, and near-term feasibility. This project will help calm traffic without eliminating existing parking. For more information and to view the map, click HERE.

Sincerely,

Alderman Nicholas Sposato

Meet Allegra! Allegra came to CACC as an owner surrender with no name and no background information. We've gotten to know her and have found she's smart, knows sit, gives paw, walks great on leash and is very sweet! We think it's time for a fresh start for this wonderful girl! To see Allegra in action, click HERE.

For more information on Allegra and the many other dogs waiting patiently to be rescued, click HERE or visit their Facebook page: CACC Adoptable Pets. To learn more about fostering, click HERE.
