📌 @gilbert36ward @AldMattMartin #PlowTheSidewalks

RT @activetrans
We are so grateful and proud of the work of our local lawmakers, advocates, activists, and supporters who helped pass the Complete Streets Ordinance and the Safe Streets Pilots Ordinance today at Chicago City Council meeting. And one step closer for #PlowTheSidewalks ordinance!

We’re so thankful for @gilbert36ward taking leadership and for his support of #PlowTheSidewalks.

Today we were proud to stand alongside him, @AccessLiving, and many of our City Council supporters to announce the introduction of an ordinance for a pilot program!

“Whenever property owners ignore their legal obligation to shovel their sidewalks, up to 600,000 Chicagoans can literally become prisoners in their own homes.”

That’s why it’s time for the City to stop shirking it’s responsibility and #PlowTheSidewalks.

Leaving sidewalk snow and ice removal up to property owners means the job doesn’t get done, injuring and stranding people. It should be a municipal service, just like it is for the roadway. I asked my alder to support #PlowTheSidewalks, can you ask yours?

#43Ward is on here. SADLY, #44Ward is not. PLEASE write @AldTomTunney in support of municipal snow removal from sidewalks! #PlowTheSidewalks https://twitter.com/chi_streets/status/1635325550691778564

Don’t see your alderperson listed? We need your help!

Take a moment and send them an email asking them to support #PlowTheSidewalks. We’ve made it easy, and it only takes 60 seconds:

Everyone deserves the ability to get around our city during the winter, but leaving sidewalk snow/ice removal up to property owners leaves people trapped or at risk of injury.

The good news is that there’s a solution, and the movement to #PlowTheSidewalks only keeps growing!

We’ve got exciting news to share with you Monday about #PlowTheSidewalks! 👀

RT @AccessLiving
Just a great casual reminder about why #PlowTheSidewalks is such a great idea. https://twitter.com/midwestern_ope/status/1628751212555251715

What's that, you said? My mayor talking about bike grids, BRT and #PlowTheSidewalks? 😏

Go get yourself a mayor who believes in those things and vote for @Brandon4Chicago!

It's the Chicago season where everything looks like it's the Industrial revolution because we oversalt the roads. Even when the sun comes out, the world looks faded. Just another reason to #plowthesidewalks so we have more than one option to get around in winter.

It’s been inspiring to see him become a fierce advocate for investing in safe streets and holding the CTA accountable. And he was one of the first to believe in #PlowTheSidewalks!

What an incredible ally we have in him.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us in person and virtually tonight!

For anyone who missed there will be a recording available soon.
