The 46th Ward has one of the highest number of people who have decided to forgo owning a car, which is one of the major reasons why transit oriented developments (TOD's) are becoming so popular in this area. All indications show that we can expect this trend of people going "carless" to rise, and with that has been an increased interest in transit oriented developments.

A third proposal for a TOD is scheduled to be built next door to the Sheridan L Stop. East Lake View Neighbors reviewed and approved this proposal last year, but the developer made some small changes based on community feedback that postponed moving forward until now. This development will contribute to our tax base and encourage more businesses to open in the area. The 46th Ward is going through an unprecedented amount of development and TOD's are helping to make this happen. Click here to see the plans.

UPLIFT HIGH SCHOOL AMONG 10 FOR SPECIAL RECOGNITION

Uplift High School is among 10 other high schools throughout IL (and the only CPS school) that was recognized as a Democracy School. Awarded by the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition (ICMC), it honored the school for providing students with authentic experiences in the rights, responsibilities and tensions of a constitutional democracy. Through these experiences, participating schools equip students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for informed and effective engagement in our democracy. The new Democracy Schools will receive funding from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, which convenes the ICMC to invest in high quality civic learning initiatives.
