The community met, committees were formed and spent 5 months working on their top proposals. There were 2 community meetings presenting ALL the proposals from the committees, and now it’s up to you! Starting Saturday, April 27th there will be Early Voting for your top choices on how to spend the 46th Ward’s discretionary funds. Anyone 16 years and older who lives within the 46th Ward boundaries is eligible to vote. You can vote for your top six (6) projects. The projects getting the most votes will be funded, and the projects will be completed in order until the money runs out. Voting options are as follows:
Early Voting
(Ward Office, 4544 North Broadway)
Saturday April 27
9am – 12pm
Monday, April 29 – Friday May 3
9am – 5pm
Voting Assembly
Uplift Community High School, 900 West Wilson)
Saturday May 4
9am – 2pm
You can vote on safety and lighting projects, walkability and biking projects, beautification and public art projects, public information projects and more. The proposals run the gamut from practical projects like adding security cameras for local crime hot spots to a grand proposal to make a plaza out of the Sheridan/Montrose/Broadway intersection. You can view the projects at the Ward office (including a nifty diarama), or on-line at http://pbchicago.org/.46th-ward.html. Again, you have 6 votes (but they must be for different projects, not 6 for 1).
