The Chicago City Council is considering an ordinance and pilot program to make city crews responsible for shoveling sidewalks to clear snow and ice.
The Chicago City Council considered a measure Wednesday making it the city's job to do the heavy lifting of clearing walkways.
"While this winter may have been relatively calm, we all know it's not a matter of if but when we'll have a snow storm that'll leave many of our residents stuck," said 36th Ward Alderman Gilbert Villegas. The initial effort to include the $750,000 "Plow the Sidewalks" plan in the city's 2023 budget failed.
The idea has a more than a dozen co-sponsors, and has the support of groups and organizations advocating for improvements to the city's mobility apparatus.
