Dear Neighbor,
In case you missed our earlier newsletter this week please take a moment to fill out our 1-minute survey. This will assist my office and the Chicago Police Department to better gauge community sentiment. I will be presenting these responses to the Commanders of the 18th and 19th District as a way to help them address your questions and concerns. You can remain anonymous, or provide us with your name and address. The survey is optional and I look forward to seeing you later this month at one or more of our Safety Forums.
Please attend one of the following public safety forums:
Monday, March 13th, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
New Life Church

I have been told by attendees that some of their meeting comments about open space have not been included in the summaries. Please send in comments to
[email protected] and copy me at

The last announced open house,
providing informal question-and-answer access on draft framework plan, is on
