Long-time resident, trying to help keep it livable

Gotta keep after them

Please, keep calling 311 or Ald Foulke's office when you see graffitti.....especially the gang stuff.
Also, when will they fix the lights on Marquette park's drive, at the west end of the park just past the playground?? Been out since January. Keep calling & complaining, the volume of calls will get results.

    They can't find out simple requests for service.

Citywide staff pick

From New Bike Racks - where did they come from?:

"Just curious about the new bike racks you see through Lakeview. They are cool colors and in the shape of a bike. I like them and just wondering if they were purchased by the city or some how locally. Any comments would be helpful?"
