August 2021 Newsletter

Third Ward Newsletter

August 2021

Greetings!

I could not be more proud of the City of Chicago, my colleagues on the City Council, our Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and the countless residents, community organizations and nonprofit leaders that came together to pass a transformational ordinance to provide real, in-depth community input into the way Chicago polices its City by passing the historic Empowering Communities for Public Safety (ECPS) ordinance. Chicago has always been at the forefront of community inclusion in policing, having been the first city to institute a CAPS (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy) program, and now we stand at the cutting edge of community policing once again by giving Chicago residents a real say in how their neighborhoods will work with police to improve public safety.

In short, the ECPS ordinance will allow for residents to elect representatives to serve on district councils for each of the police districts across the City. For the 3rd Ward that would include the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 9th Police Districts. These district councils will then select representatives to serve on a citywide advisory council that will work with the community, elected officials and the police department to determine police policy, resource allocation, officer accountability, community engagement, and the selection of the Police Superintendent, members of the Police Board, and the head administrator of the Civilian Office for Police Accountability. It is through the inclusion of all parties that the City will be able to move forward and address its longstanding public safety challenges.

Let me be clear, this new ordinance does not take away from the Chicago Police Department. It is funded separately from the Police Department’s budget. It will not give the public unilateral control over the police, their policies, their hiring, their leadership, or their day-to-day operations. ECPS ensures that the police and City government must work together with the community to improve public safety, with no one group being more important or powerful than the other. Collaboration must be achieved and collaboration is what is best for the City moving forward.

I fully support ECPS and fully support the Chicago Police Department. It is not an either/or choice. We need the police in our community to help stop crime and to make Chicago the best, safest City it can be. With ECPS, we can add community trust and respect back into policing in Chicago, and restore the relationship between communities of color like the ones I represent and the police that work so hard each day to keep all Chicagoans safe. ECPS will help the City do that, and now we as a community must step up and work together to meet the police at this new high water mark for collaboration.

As always, the 3rd Ward Public Service Office staff and I are available to assist you by phone 773-373-9273 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you for reading this newsletter. Please share it with a neighbor or friend.

Sincerely,

Pat Dowell

Alderman, 3rd Ward

Third Ward Update

COVID-19 Updates from the Chicago Department of Public Health

Following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and based on Chicago’s current local COVID-19 data, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) now recommends that everyone over the age of 2, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks in public indoor settings. Masking remains optional in outdoor settings, where the risk of COVID-19 transmission is lower.

CDPH recommends businesses, employers, and event organizers require universal masking in all public indoor settings. In outdoor settings, masks remain optional, no changes are being made to the recommendations for social distancing. Vaccines have been essential in the fight against COVID-19.

The best protection against COVID-19 and the Delta variant continues to be vaccination, including getting both doses if you get a two-dose vaccine. CDPH strongly urges anyone age 12 and older who isn’t yet vaccinated to get vaccinated right away. Chicago residents should call 312-746-4835 or visit chi.gov/covidvax for help getting a vaccine.

In-home vaccination is now available to everyone 12 and up in Chicago. Residents can call 312.746.4835 or visit Chicago.gov/AtHome to learn more and schedule an appointment for in-home vaccination.

To find other options for vaccination, you can also call your doctor, health clinic, community health center, or hospital where you receive primary healthcare services. If you do not have a healthcare provider, go to Zocdoc.com/vaccine (the City’s vaccine appointment tool) or call 312.746.4835 Monday – Saturday 8:00am – 8:00pm and Sunday 8:00am – 4:00pm. The vaccine is free and the City of Chicago sites are now accepting walk-ins.

The COVID-19 vaccine is especially important for seniors with underlying medical conditions, and some medical conditions increase risk for severe COVID-19 infection. All seniors should receive vaccination for COVID-19, even if you think your risk of getting COVID-19 is low. Consult with your doctor if you have a history of significant allergic reactions to vaccines, food, or medicine.

CPS Returning to School Health Guidance

The best, safest place for our students to learn is in the classroom, and CPS is looking forward to welcoming your children back to full in-person learning five days a week beginning Monday, August 30.

CPS decisions are based on the most current health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), and the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH)—who all agree that ensuring students have access to in-person learning five days a week is the highest priority. The district’s health and safety protocols are designed to provide all students with the in-person education they deserve while keeping everyone in our school communities healthy and safe.

Masks/Cloth Face Coverings

Based on feedback from our public health experts at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), CPS will require that masks/cloth face coverings continue to be worn indoors by everyone, regardless of vaccination status, except for while eating or drinking. Face coverings may be removed for outdoor activities, such as recess and some sports activities. C

Social Distancing

CPS will ensure that three feet of social distancing is maintained wherever possible. There will be times when this is not possible due to the population of schools and classrooms, and CPS will use additional health and safety strategies, including air purifiers, hand sanitizer, cleaning and disinfecting, contact tracing, and cloth face-coverings to maximize safety for students and staff.

Daily Meals

To help ensure social distancing during breakfast and lunch, some students will eat in their classrooms and others will eat in their school cafeteria. When children are eating in school cafeterias or other designated meal spaces, they will stay three feet apart where possible and will be allowed to remove their masks while eating and drinking.

CPS will continue to follow public health guidance in partnership with the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and update our health protocols as needed. CPS looks forward to welcoming students back on Monday, August 30 and will continue to provide updates as guidelines for the new school year are finalized.

Rental Assistance Available for Renters and Landlords

If you’re a renter having trouble paying your rent, utilities, or other housing costs – or if you’re a landlord trying to stay afloat with tenants in this situation – help may be available. State and local programs are distributing billions of dollars in rental assistance to help renters stay housed during the pandemic.

Visit the CFPB’s Rental Assistance Finder to find out what this means for you and what you can do. The CFPB’s site also includes resources to help renters and landlords understand other resources to help navigate various financial hardships related to the pandemic.

Phillips High School Annex Construction Information

The Public Building Commission has announced they have selected Burling Builders Inc. as the contractor to build the new Phillips High School Annex. This is a $12,439,000 project to build an athletic annex facility with supporting spaces, new parking lot and associated site development. An initial construction schedule is as follows:

July 2021 - Contractor mobilization
July 2021 to August 2021 - Existing school renovation work
July 2021 to March 2022 - New school annex
July 2021 to May 2022 - Site work and final parking lot

Any issues with the construction project can be directed to the Public Building Commission at 312-742-0878 or [email protected].

City-owned Vacant Lot Activation

In July 2020, INVEST South/West (ISW) began a pilot project to activate 16 city-owned vacant parcels on ISW priority corridors in Auburn Gresham and North Lawndale. This year the City is expanding this pilot project by adding 150 additional parcels in South and West Side communities. We continue to work with Greencorps Chicago, the City of Chicago’s green industry job training program for individuals with barriers to employment, to activate the lots by clearing trash and fly dumping; bringing in fresh soil, trees, natural grasses, and other plantings; and installing split rail fencing around the lots. These lots will remain closed to public access and can still be developed in the future, but until then, will serve the community as sources of green space. Work to activate parcels is set to begin this summer and extend into next year.

Locations in the 3rd Ward include: 420 E. 47th St., 4652 S. Vincennes Ave., 424 E. 47th St., 454 E. 47th St., 4640 S. Vincennes Ave., 4644 S. Vincennes Ave., 4247 S. Calumet Ave., 4652 S. Vincennes Ave., and 416 E. 47th St.

Chicago Police Department Removes Illegal Guns from the Streets

In July, the men and women of the Chicago Police Department (CPD) continued their aggressive efforts to take illegal guns off the streets of Chicago. As summer continues, CPD is on pace to recover a record more than 12,000 guns by the end of the year. Officers have recovered more than 7,289 guns in 2021, up 28% over this time last year. This includes the recovery of more than 368 assault weapons. Officers also made 3,477 gun arrests through July 31, a 23% increase compared to 2020.

CPD is also committed to stopping the illegal flow of guns before the weapons even reach the streets of Chicago. This month, Superintendent David O. Brown announced the creation of the new, 50-officer Gun Investigations Team (GIT) tasked with tracing, tracking, and arresting gunrunners, gun traffickers, and others involved in the deadly business of illegal firearm sales.

As part of the CPD's efforts to curb gun violence, it is essential to do so in strong partnership with community members. Those who have information on illegal gun sales or gun possession are asked to send in tips through CPDTip.com. These tips will help the GIT in its investigations to stop the ongoing flow of guns in the city.

Problem Business - Jones Auto Center (5100 S. Wabash Ave.)

On June 22, 2021, a hearing was held at the Department of Administrative Hearings where Jones Auto Center at 5100 S. Wabash Ave. was found to have operated a motor vehicle repair shop without a business license, and a judgment of $3,040 was entered against the business. Questions regarding this case can be directed to the 3rd Ward Public Service Office at 773-373-9273.

Reminder! Addresses Required in the Alley

Just like in the front of a property, building addresses are required to be posted in the alley as well. This is done for safety reasons so that police, fire and other public safety officials can identify a property in case of an emergency, and for the accurate delivery of constituent services (garbage and recycling pickup, removal of debris, repairing pot holes and alley lights, etc.).

For a building with a garage in alley, numbers should be placed in a visible place on the garage. If your property has a fence or such other structure along the alley, numbers should be placed on the fence or other structure so as to be clearly visible from the alley. This requirement also applies to business.
