7th Ward Service Center Updates

Winter Snow Tips

Luckily the snow this weekend wasn't as bad as predicted; however, this does not mean it didn't prevent challenges to residents. Please know that Chicago works tirelessly to lessen the impact snow has on our communities. The City has over 350 snow removal vehicles working on main streets throughout Chicago.

Please know that you can watch the progress of the City's snow plows at chicagoshovels.org. Plows are generally not deployed to side streets until after the snow stops. Public transportation typically sees delays during a winter storm as well. You can keep up to date with CTA at transitchicago.com.

As always, stay safe when the weather is terrible and no that I am doing all I can to ensure our community serviced during inclement weather.
