Chicago Housing Authority – Cabrini Now Kickoff Celebration – Community Driven Planning

The Chicago Housing Authority is excited to invite you to the Cabrini Now kickoff celebration and first community consultation on May 8, 5:30-7:30pm at Ogden-Jenner Elementary School (1119 N. Cleveland Ave). Cabrini Now is a community driven planning and design effort to improve the Cabrini neighborhood through housing and economic development on CHA properties.

The Cabrini Now process will build on previous community planning efforts, including the 2015 Development Zone Plan, to create an updated plan that furthers the neighborhood’s vibrant vision while responding to current affordable housing needs in the neighborhood and across Chicago. The May 8th kickoff celebration will not only provide information about the planning process that is starting for Cabrini but will also invite community members to express their vision and priorities and share what they love most about living in Cabrini.

Please see the flyers provided below. This family-friendly event is an open-house / drop-in format, so please feel free to stop by at any time.

Street Sweeping Began Monday, April 1st

Chicago’s annual street sweeping season began earlier this week and runs through mid-November or later, weather permitting. Throughout the season, the Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) deploys mechanical street sweepers at regularly scheduled times to clear debris from Chicago streets. Dozens of street sweepers have  begun to clear the debris and leaves that have accumulated during winter months on both residential and arterial streets.

Residents are reminded to check for the bright orange signs announcing temporary parking restrictions. These signs are posted two days prior to scheduled street sweeping events. Some streets also have permanently posted signs that specify a once-per-week period when parking is prohibited for street sweeping.

Residents can also track the City’s street sweeping fleet in real time through the Sweeper Tracker online tool.

For more information, or to view the 2024 street sweeping schedule, visit the DSS website. Residents can also call 311 or check Sweeper Tracker to find the dates and locations of street sweeping in their area.
