Wild Mile – Community Meeting #2 Update

Thank you to everyone who attended the second Wild Mile Chicago community meeting last Thursday, February 7 at Leslie Hall!

For those who weren’t able to attend or for those who attended and have more thoughts to share, we still want to hear from you!

We have uploaded a copy of the presentation and design boards shown at the meeting on the ‘Get Involved’ page of the Wild Mile Chicago website.

Please look through the designs and let us know your thoughts by using the ‘Contact Us’ page on the website or by emailing info@wildmilechicago.org.

For the Design Boards, we would like to know:

• What do you like?
• What don’t you like?
• And what would you like to add that is missing?

Your feedback helps us create a more thoughtful, inclusive, and comprehensive framework plan for Wild Mile Chicago.

Community Meeting #3: March 2019 (more details coming soon)

Stormwater Management Tips from Department of Water Management

Even though it is still winter, certain weather conditions can lead to flooding. No longer just a problem in spring, the Department of Water Management (DWM) encourages residents to assist in reducing water from reaching the sewer system.

Community-wide efforts can greatly decrease the impact of neighborhood flooding and the extent of basement backups.  Some tips include:

• Do not dump fats/oils/greases in private drains or public catch basins.
• Avoid running a dishwasher or washing machine during storms.
• Disconnect downspout connections from the sewer system. Make sure to direct flow to areas with permeable surfaces that can properly absorb the stormwater, or use rain barrels to collect the rain directly from the downspouts.
• Install rain gardens, green landscaping, or stormwater trees in your yard to help retain rainwater.
• Resurface driveways, parking pads, or patios with permeable pavement.

Additional information can be found here.
