A Message from Alderman Silverstein
“The 50th Ward is the most diverse and wonderful neighborhood in the City of Chicago. There is nowhere else where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks. If you live here, you know how great it is. If you don’t, come on up and see what the 50th Ward has to offer!”

Crews will be in the 50th Ward soon beginning our yearly infrastructure work. I am happy to report that many local streets are being completely resurfaced through my Aldermanic Menu funding. We will also be installing new, pedestrian-friendly piggyback streetlights on multiple blocks.
My staff went out to all of the blocks where construction is beginning soon and left notices so residents know what to expect. More details about all the upcoming local infrastructure work and recent Aldermanic Menu selections can be found on my website at 50thward.org/infrastructure or in our most recent Infrastructure Improvement map. ...
