View this email in your browser Dear Neighbor,

Please note that the purple 2019 Residential Parking Permits expire on December 31st, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. We will begin selling the new, 2020 passes this Monday, October 7th. Those 2020 passes can be used immediately and will not expire until December 31st, 2020. The 2019 passes cannot be returned or exchanged, so use any remaining 2019 Purple passes first. This Sunday, October 6th, the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce will host the 2019 Wine, Whiskey & Craft Beer stroll. Join some of our local shops to sample the finest our neighborhood has to offer, including 26 Wines, 7 Whiskeys, & 5 Beers! Click here for tickets and more information. Mayor Lightfoot and City Clerk Valencia have teamed up on a set of reforms to create a more equitable Chicago. In October, residents will be able to purchase a City Sticker with no late fees or back charges. A new City Sticker Ticket Debt forgiveness program will begin in November. Click here to learn more about how to take advantage of this program. Next week, I will be hosting three meetings as Chairman of the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards to discuss the recently introduced Cannabis Zoning Ordinance. You will find the proposed ordinance here . I encourage you to attend one or more of these meetings, learn about the proposed ordinance and share your feedback with the committee and the Mayor's Office. The 44th Ward, Cook County Commissioner Gainer and Cook County Jail are partnering to collect feminine hygiene products for incarcerated women. For the month of October, we are accepting donations at the ward office, 3223 N. Sheffield, and can accept travel-size shampoos, conditioners and pads for those who do not have regular access to these products. Donations will be accepted until November 1st. Additionally, we're partnering with Lakeview Pantry to help stock their breakfast foods. Help make sure our neighbors in need start their day right! We'll be accepting dry breakfast goods through October. Autumn is here, leaves are falling and it’s time to clean up yards and parkways. Please make an effort to clear leaves and other debris before winter weather arrives. As a reminder, yard waste should not be thrown in your Blue Cart. You can call 311 to request a Yard Waste Pickup. Please help keep the sewer drains clear of debris and leaves by keeping the street and sewer in front of your home clean and debris free. Leaves and debris must not be swept or blown into the streets. Additional information and updates on public safety, infrastructure, upcoming events and more can be found below.



Enjoy your weekend,
