In response to the recent article by columnist AmySue Mertens regarding the effort by CDOT to repave and update many of the streets in the West Loop neighborhood, I would like to clarify to our community where the funds came from.

According to Alderman Fioretti at the recent West Loop town hall held on 7/14 at the Merit School of Music, funding was “secured from the City”, and not the State, for the following streets:

  • Morgan, from Madison to Monroe
  • Green, from Van Buren through the dead end
  • Sangamon, from Madison to Monroe
  • Aberdeen, from Monroe to Tilden
  • Peoria, from Adams to Monroe
  • Peoria, from Madison to Monroe
  • Aberdeen, from Madison to Monroe
  • Jackson, from Ashland to Peoria
  • Loomis, from Adams to Van Buren
  • Van Buren, from Loomis to Laflin
  • Van Buren, from Racine to Peoria
  • Monroe, from Ashland to Sangamon
  • Monroe, from Peoria to Racine

This repaving effort will further beautify our area, and I thank Alderman Fioretti for fighting to get this work done in our current economic climate.
