Menu Money Funds Improvement Projects
* Floods in Rogers Park
Hi Craig, I got a question for you. Where is the 49th ward menu money going? It may be spent on worthwhile and important projects for the ward, but what and where are these projects? Driving around Rogers Park Sunday, I noticed that there are lots of areas of standing water. Clearly the ward has sewer issues and seemingly more so than Andersonville (from where I came). For instance the alley between Estes and Touhy on Paulina - it's like a lake! Where's the Joe Moore's ward menu money going? . . . .More

Each ward gets more than a million dollars to make improvements each year, but that includes everything. Street lights, Traffic lights, Sidewalks, Repaving Alleys, Repaving Streets, Curbs, Gutters and other similar things. Every Alderman spends all of their money because there isn't much sense in saving it. I think if you have a major issue you should be calling the Alderman's office. Big pools of water are often the intentional result of not overflowing the sewers with rain water because when that happens it overflows the deep tunnel and that causes untreated (polluted) water to be released into the lake.
Fixing that would relieve the nuisance of the standing water for a few by polluting the water of millions. There is the possibility that the system is under built in that area or it is not operating properly. Have you spoken with your neighbors and sent a request to the Alderman or the city to come take a look? Group efforts are not mandatory, but are a good way to get attention since it is for several people rather than one person.
