The votes are in for the 2025-2026 30th Ward Participatory Budget! Thanks to everyone who voted—we received 379 valid votes from 30th Ward residents for projects in three sections of the ward: western, central, and eastern. Projects only competed against each other within each section, rather than across the whole ward. 
​
The winning areas to be addressed, and the runners-up, are shown below. You can find a map of the locations here and the full voting results here.
​
We will request traffic studies from the Chicago Department of Transportation for the winning locations and the runners-up. CDOT will propose solutions for each location and provide us with estimated costs. Up to $500,000 in menu money set aside for participatory budget projects will first go towards implementing projects in the winning locations, but surplus funds will then be used for runner-up locations to the extent possible. 
​
We will keep you informed about progress on these locations and the planning and implementation of projects for making them safer.
​
Thanks again to everyone who voted, submitted locations and safety issues for consideration, and attended our workshops!
