Shared Sidewalk Program Open
But, Apply ASAP!
The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program is a voluntary program with property owners sharing the cost of sidewalk repair with the City. The shared cost per square foot charged to property owners is well below what a private contractor would charge; senior citizens and persons with disabilities may qualify for a further discounted rate.
To apply, call the City's 311 system or use the link below, the property owner's contact information and the address are required at the time of request. The program is on a first-come, first served basis and limited by the availability of funds - applicants are encouraged to apply early. If you used or applied for the program in previous years, you must reapply for 2019.

A Tribute to "Innovators, Immigrants and Working Stiffs"
The Made-in-Chicago Museum, established by curator Andrew Clayman in 2015, is a thoroughly unsolicited historical research project focused on collecting, documenting, and
celebrating the "everyday objects" produced during Chicago's 20th-century industrial heyday. The industrial antiques dating from 1900 to 19
