Welcome to the Great 48th Ward. We have worked hard to earn this designation. Because of our combined efforts, we have a vibrant, safe community with good schools, thriving businesses, a broad range of quality housing options and excellent city service.
Alderman Smith reads to students.
Our website is designed to let you access the latest information about what’s happening in the Ward. There are maps showing police beats and CAPS meetings, the street sweeping schedule, block clubs, schools, parks, traffic calming initiatives, TIFS and election precincts. Specific topics including development, environmental initiatives, seniors’ issues, transit and education are covered in detail, and we call out information of special interest so you can access it quickly and easily.
You can download condo refuse rebate forms, block party and yard sale permit applications and other frequently requested forms, and special links take you directly to pages on the City of Chicago’s website where you’ll find information about TIFs and CPAN and to the Chicago Public Schools’ website.
We hope you will come back frequently as we work together to make The Great 48th even greater.
