Chicago tree trimming?
I know I can request tree trimming online, and I will do that. Just have a few questions about how it works.
Last week, signs went up in front of a few houses so that tree trimming could be performed. They worked on one tree. I asked a worker if they were going to do the tree next door to my house. It has a large dead branch overhanging the street. Worker brushed me off, said no all those trees...

It has a large dead branch overhanging the street. Worker brushed me off, said no all those trees are gonna come down one day because of the disease. So I asked how long he thought it would take to get to this one considering there are probably 80,000 of them in the city.
I know resources are slim, I know that services need to be requested but it seems strange to me that the equipment was there, workers ready to go but they couldn't cut the dead branch off.

Alderman Tim Cullerton 38th Ward 38th Ward AldermanAnna, I know it may sound confusing, but it depends if the workers were working on 311 requests OR if they were working on an area "blitz".
You can call my office if you are in the 38th Ward and submit the address and I'll try to see if it's possible to get the tree trimmed during the next blitz. If you're in another Ward, call the Alderman's office to see if he/she can try and help.

Fun exercise classes?
Does anyone know of any fun Zumba/Jazzercise-type courses offered this summer on the NW side (and reasonably priced)? Thanks
Loading

If you go to the Zumba website, you can find classes based on your location. Immaculate Conception has classes with 2 great instructors 3 days a week. They run 6 week sessions and the pricing is as follows: Drop-in = $10 per class, One day per week = $48, Two days per week = $85, Three days per week = $100. I do the 3 days per week, and it works out to about $5.50 per class.

Police presence in our neighborhoods during the NATO summit
I'm kind of hoping some can answer this question for me be it an alderman or another resident. With the NATO summit I'm expecting a lot of officers being present at whatever protests will be held in the downtown area. I would like to know if there will be a decrease of police in our area doing their usual patrols during this time.

Her original bill was for 30 minutes but through negotiations it was dropped to 20 minutes.
Granted children need recess but do we need a state law for this. Chicago and the State are crumbling and our Senators are debating and voting on recess for children. How ridiculous. What is the old saying while Rome burned Nero fiddled. We need to stop the foolish music and man the hoses.

Tom K. Lifelong resident of Portage Park.OK. I didn't say whether I agreed with the merits of the bill you brought up. All I said was that there are other issues that need to be addressed, and the General Assembly seems to believe that recess was one of them. That's just one example out of many bills that have already passed this year that have nothing to do with the financial mess.

Graffiti at Merrimac Park
I've been noticing a ton of new graffiti all around Merrimac Park. Someone actually wrote all over the sidewalk on Irving with what I think is marker... stuff about "Cobra Killers" and all that other garbage. All the signs, electrical boxes, etc. surrounding the park have new graffiti on them. I will be happy to take some pictures and post them if that will help identify these useless pieces of garbage. This needs to stop now BEFORE it escalates and they start shooting each other up.

I have had pets all my life and I can't believe how many people on here are losing their pets. Now we have a puppy. Well who the heck leaves a puppy unattended??? Well then everyone in that household should be out looking for it until they find it. and you cat owners are the worst!! My job leads me all threw the 16th district, and last nite I can't even tell you how many beautiful cats I seen roaming the streets, in good neighborhoods. Like Central & Foster, Central & Bryn Mawr, Northwest Hwy & Austin. But then when their cat doesn't come home after a couple days they wonder.It's not home cause it's probably been run over.Not only that but cats are predators and they like to catch mice or rats. You know what happens when they catch one who has ate bait? They suffer the same death. They bleed internally, until their dead.You still think it's a good idea to let your cats roam? I had an episode last nite with 2 cats on different streets that didn't want to move out of street. I had to beep and yell at them. Now let me ask you cat owners, you think the punks do that? I'm here to tell you NO. They aim for them. The city needs a way to make money, start fining all these people who leave their cats out. This pet thing is just too much, be responsible or don't have a pet at all!!!!!!!!!.

I don't know that much about cats other than the one "neighborhood cat" that hangs around a couple of houses around me because my neighbor feeds it.
Here are my recommendations to keep your dogs safe…
1). BOND WITH YOUR DOG - Make sure that your dog looks up to you and won’t want to leave you. Sit down daily, cuddle with them and give them a treat. Also take them for a walk around the neighborhood so they know how to find your house.
2). SPAY / NEUTER – Spay / Neuter your dog to reduce its urge to wander looking for a mate.
3). COLLAR AND TAGS – Your dog must wears its collar 24/7.
a). The collar should not be to tight or too loose. You should be able to put 2-3 fingers under the collar. Check it every day. Also the collar should not be pulled over the dog’s head.
b). The collar should hold the Rabbis Tag, Dog license and ID Tag.
c). ID Tag should contain Dog’s name, Your Name, 2 phone numbers (Home phone, Cell phone or Work Phone), your address is optional. I used http://www.terrificpets.com/pet_id_tags/
4). MICROCHIP – Microchip your dog. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice that is injected under the skin. It does not hurt. It can be done by vet or animal shelter.
a). Check the microchip by the vet periodically. My dog’s microchip failed after 5 years. I suggest that all vets scan for the chip during the pet’s annual checkup.
5). MOVING – When you move, update your microchip records and replace the ID Tag.
6). SECURE YOUR YARD – Check your yard to make sure it is secure
a). Padlock your gates. I had kids run through the yard leaving the gates wide open.
b). Inspect your fence and property looking for ways the dog can get out.
c). When your dog is outside, keep an eye on it. My dog doesn’t want to stay outside for more than 20 min. I check on my dog every 10 min. to see what she is doing.
7). LEASH YOUR DOG – Keep your dog on a leash when it is outside of your house / yard. -
Your neighborhood cat may be not fixed. It's important to fix outdoor cats. Do you have any additional info on this cat?

This water stinks, not only outside but also in our homes through the sewer system. I have seen the water dept. come check it numerous times but, nobody does a thing about it. The problem is getting worse, Alderman Tim should take a ride by and check it out himself. Not only does it stink, I’m sure it’s unhealthy and will also be a great breeding place for mosquitoes. I myself have talked to Ald. Tim through everyblock recently about the rat problem we have in area, this could also be contributing to problem. Because the water is not going down sewer, when it rains bad, the grounds out here get so wet that it causes water to come in my basement, it has nowhere else to go. Something has to be done about this, it needs to be fixed. I hope you will help. This is a copy of e-mail I sent to Ald. Tim's office on Monday. Waiting to hear something.

Portage Parker since 1946 Name says it.Have been told in another context that the normal way the paving's now done is for the contractor to pour rough concrete so traffic can get moving. Later a different crew comes in to do the real paving, which requires a lot more engineering than the initial quick pour. Of course, I'd like to feel 100% confident this balances fast reopening with the most cost effective way to get to the finished project.

It has been refreshing to see civility in the end, during this election, from all candidates. As a former proofreader for a major publication back in the day, the word is spelled CONGRATULATIONS not Congradulations.
No criticism, just to inform.
We now can look forward to seeing what new ideas,...It has been refreshing to see civility in the end, during this election, from all candidates. As a former proofreader for a major publication back in the day, the word is spelled CONGRATULATIONS not Congradulations.

We now can look forward to seeing what new ideas, and the direction the winner of this election takes for the betterment of the ward. It is a challenging job and takes skill to juggle dual responsibilities that of both alderman and committeeman. With all eyes on the winner,
great ideas and dedication is expected by all who voted their
choice. Let's see what summer brings for now.... -

"We would appreciate anyone with some sound advice to please share what they might know as far as safely staying in condo at Madison & State. We were planning to stock up on food and stay in. Does this sound okay to do? Sarcasm & judgement not welcome please."
