Neighborhood Protections:
The Cubs will continue to fund additional security personnel to be on neighborhood streets for three hours following the shows to help monitor crowds. Additionally, the Cubs have again contracted with Cleanslate to remove litter in an expanded area after all concerts. 

The Cubs remote parking lot located at 3900 N. Rockwell St. will be open for the shows. A free shuttle will provide roundtrip services from the lot approximately two hours before each show begins and one hour after each show ends. The Cubs free bicycle valet service also will be available in the alley just east of the main entrance for the CTA Red Line stop on Addison Street. A designated group charter, coach bus, limousine and black car service drop-off and pick-up location will be located on Irving Park Road between Clark Street and Seminary Avenue. Taxis will be available and staged along Clark Street on the southbound curb, just south of Addison Street. Rideshares will pick up on Addison Street between Halsted Street and Broadway.

The Cubs-funded hotline operated and staffed by the Chicago Police Department to address non-emergency traffic-related calls from neighborhood residents will be open one hour before each show begins until two hours after it ends. To address non-emergency traffic-related issues, please call 1-866-4-CPD-TOW (1-866-427-3869). In case of emergency, call 911.

Stormwater Tips from the Department of Water Management

October 8, 2021

The Department of Water Management reminds us that we still need to deal with stormwater in the fall and winter months. Stormwater management can greatly reduce backups and flooding in basements when water and waste in overwhelmed sewers have nowhere else to go. By reducing your water output during storms, making sure only rain goes down the drain, disposing of fats, oils, and greases properly and disconnecting your downspout you can help keep our sewers flowing and water out of your basement.

  • Sweep up leaves from driveways, sidewalks, and streets.
  • Clean roof gutters and drains of leaves.
  • Keep nearby catch basin grates clear of yard waste and trash.
  • Don’t litter or dump anything in storm drains. Storm drains are for rain only.
  • Avoid running a dishwasher or washing machine during storms.
  • Use a commercial car wash or wash your car over grass or gravel instead of on a driveway or in the street.
  • Do not dump fats/oils/greases in private drains. · Disconnect your downspout from the sewer system. See DWM’s website for a guide on downspout disconnection.
  • Before winter, empty your rain barrel and store in a garage or shed.
