Your responsibility in removing snow and ice from the sidewalks

Many people rely on walking and transit as their primary way to get around, and without a wide, clear path through snow and ice, it is especially difficult for people with disabilities, seniors, and children to walk safely.  According to the Municipal Code of Chicago (4-4-310 & 10-8-180), property owners and occupants are responsible for keeping sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

Report locations that DO NOT clear sidewalks to 311

Report locations that DO NOT clear their sidewalks by making a “Snow – Uncleared Sidewalk or Bike Lane” request with
the City of Chicago 311 Service Request line.

When you make a “Snow – Uncleared Sidewalk or Bike Lane” request, please note the following:

Frequently Asked Questions About Sidewalk Snow Removal

Do the new regulations for sidewalk snow removal in Chicago apply to home, business, and property owners?

Yes, the new sidewalk snow regulations affect all home, business, and property owners in Chicago. Business owners that rent space adjacent to sidewalks are responsible for shoveling snow under the ordinance. Some landlords for residential and commercial property hold tenants responsible for snow clearance as a part of their lease agreements, other don’t. Renters who aren’t certain of their shoveling responsibilities should check their rental agreements or ask their landlords for clarification.

 

 

Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Event

Every year since taking office, Alderman Tunney coordinates a Christmas Tree Pick-up event in conjunction with the City of Chicago’s Christmas Tree recycling program to residents of the 44th Ward. This event is an easy and environmentally-friendly alternative for 44th Ward residents to ensure their Christmas tree is recycled. The Alderman and his team begin picking up trees on Friday afternoon and continue through Sunday evening.

Please make sure your tree is in the alley next to your garbage cart and is free of all lights, garland and decorations. Do not wrap trees in plastic bags or any other material. If you have curbside pickup, place your tree in the parkway in front of your home.

44th Ward residents can sign up to have their Christmas tree picked up by filling our Tree Pick-up Form

Feel free to say hello if you see Alderman Tunney and his team picking up trees!

44th Ward Shovel Assistance

My office offers snow shoveling assistance to 44th Ward seniors and residents with disabilities. If you need or someone you know needs assistance with snow removal, please complete the questionnaire below.

Winter Snow Parking Restrictions

Beginning December 1st the City’s seasonal parking restrictions for snow removal are in effect. Major throughways such as Ashland, Belmont, Halsted, Clark, and others do not allow for parking when snow is over two inches deep. Streets such as these become a tow zone when there are more than two inches of snow. Please be mindful of the signs on your street as the weather changes. If your car is towed you can call 311 or to search for your car’s location online click here.
