48th Ward Master Plan
What is the 48th Ward Master Plan?
The 48th Ward Master Plan is a community planning process, spanning from February 2012 to December 2012. Its goals are to create a shared vision of what the 48th Ward will look like by the year 2020; to create a road map for how to reach that vision; and to engage as many 48th ward residents and stakeholders throughout the planning process as possible.
Who can get involved?
Everyone! The 48th Ward Master Plan will garner participation, input and ideas from as many Ward residents, business owners, property owners and stakeholders as possible. Any level of commitment is welcomed.
How do I get involved?
There are many ways to get involved in the 48th Ward master planning process.
Committees: The Master Plan will be guided by 11 topical committees (see list below), including possible additional sub-committees that stem from the process. Each committee will meet a total of 4-6 times. Committees will look at existing conditions as well as priorities and implementation moving forward. You may join as many committees as you like. To see the progress made by committees, please view the Committee Work page.
Community Visioning Meetings: As part of the planning process, Alderman Harry Osterman will host 3 community visioning meetings: one at the beginning, one in the middle, and one at the end of the process. Each of these will include participatory activities and discussions which will impact the planning process.
Online Community Conversations: During the planning process, there will be conversations hosted on OhSoWe.com, EveryBlock, and social media. A schedule of these conversations will be posted at www.48thward.org/MasterPlan.
