Dear 6th Ward Neighbors,


At the 6th Ward Community Zoning Meeting on February 2, 2026, residents showed up in strong numbers and made their voices — and their votes — heard.



After thoughtful discussion and community input, the following outcomes were recorded:


  • Henry Sober Living for Women received a vote of 88–10 against.
  • Kathy’s Sober Living remains under discussion and continues to work collaboratively with the community.
  • The proposed 75th & Indiana Gas Station expansion is engaging with residents to address concerns and determine next steps.
  • The proposed 75th & Lafayette Gas Station was not approved, receiving a unanimous 19–0 vote against.


Throughout this process, residents demonstrated the power of civic engagement and community accountability. Transparency, integrity, and respect for the community’s voice remain the standard in the 6th Ward.


As your Alderman, I will take the two non-approved proposals, along with all meeting notes, to the Zoning Board of Appeals and will advocate firmly for the will and best interests of our community.


In Community,


Alderman William E. Hall
