Safe Passage Sidewalks?
Can't have the little darlings stumbling, tripping and falling where they might scrape their knees:
- In addition, I noticed my neighbor was getting new sidewalks based on
the white spray painted arrows. So I called 311 to inquire about them.
The F/2 that answered was quite friendly and said, oh, I don't think
that's the 50/50 sidewalk program, they are fixing sidewalks all along
the safe passage routes. (You know, for the children, so they don't
fall). I said, umm humm, I'm pretty sure in MY neighborhood it's the
50/50 program, not safe passage. She checked the address, Sure enough,
it was the 50/50 program.
So, not only money for signs, but sidewalks as well. No end to the free shit for the children
Is there anything that Rahm won't give away to the catered to?

I have noticed more and more non tax paying ghetto areas getting streets paved and new sidewalks put the in. While taxpaying areas get nothing.
How is this not considered theft??
-Garry M
and the city has the balls to ask for 50% of the cost of a new sidewalk for us homeowners.
Once again, take from the makers and give it all to the takers.
Something doesn't sound right here....
When I had my sidewalks done I made the inquires and was told they no longer call it "50/50."
They called it as I remember "Shared cost".
There was a long wait, but not for the children.
Checked and its the 50/50 program ..... So how can it be free for safe passage ? Post doesn't make sense
All this does is allow Ozinga and Walsh construction to steel more money for shotty work. Then they funnel some of the money back to the democratic organization. Nothing new. But, of course Rahm will say it for the kids, but we all know he does not care at all about the children. The old smoke and mirrors the Chicago way.
Pretty sure those parents would rather have a handful of new police officers than even 100 miles of new sidewalks.
Here's another waste of time: let's pull everyone out of HQ and have them report to either 011 or 007 start times are either 0500 or 1000 and they will provide save passage for the entire first week of school. I'm sure this will turn into operation safe passage just like the other successful programs as operation closed market and all the other smoke and mirrors programs
That's discrimination
Thst's racist
I wants mine
Rahm continues his pandering to the ghetto dwellers
I suggest they put small curbs on each edge of the new sidewalks so as to keep shell casings on the sidewalks and prevent them from rolling away. All the better to keep those pesky shell casings visible and easier to collect and photograph.
I too am amazed at the free sh!t that these people receive.
I heard on the news last night about a school on the northside where all the students will be getting I-Pads!
Are they fricking kidding, I-Pads!
WTF is wrong with this picture.

No and hell no. Next will be FREE 'School Shoes' courtesy of Tiny Dancer so the little tykes don't hurt their feet from 'old shoes', or ruin their $300 sneakers on that new rough concrete.
And not only one but three different pairs of shoes; Fall, Winter, and Spring 'school shoes'. For Winter a $50 Voucher will be issued to each parent and/or guardian for purchase of a pair of 'School Galoshes' -- Voucher also good at Best Buy, Brown's Chicken, and Monique's Hair & Nail Salon.
They should just create an underground tunnel from everyone's home directly to each school, problem solved.
That's the dumbocratic way.
I sure wish that I could pull money out of my ass.
Hey they have to pay for all them bought up dumbocratic votes somehow.
What about just leaving boxes of ammo in the shitbird districts,so they may hasten the process.
Its an upcoming election year. Rahm must provide for the voters that will vote for who he wants to support. Its for the parents of the children who vote.
A few years back I was around CVS high school and an elderly lady came up to me and asked for me to watch out at the school's dismissal so the students don't walk along the long block from 87th to Anthony as the new cement for the sidewalk had been put in. I remarked how lucky it was that all the residents got together to do the 50/50 program for the sidewalks. These are all nice neat single family homes.
She stated "Oh baby, we don't pay for that, the alderman or someone does."
I told HER to watch the students at dismissal.
You hard working law abiding tax paying citizens of that shit hole are SO GENEROUS.
Rahm cut his teeth as a fund raiser for the Stuttering Dwarf, then he became Chief of Staff to two different welfare Presidents. So why is anyone surprised that he feels his most important constituents are the disenfranchised? Remember, he is an expert at extracting money from the wealthy to run campaigns and then redistributing the money of the workers to the non-workers. In return he gets POWER and that is what this is all about. Power is a drug and we are feeding his "Jones".
50/50 Program fell by the wayside a long time ago. They began calling it Shared Cost so the City could charge the real Taxpayers more for the sidewalk since we can afford it apparently. It's more like somewhere between 60-40 and 70-30. Unless your street is sinking and your curbs are crumbling with the sidewalk, I doubt you'll get any alderman to replace your sidewalk for Free. The only ones getting anything for Free lately are the Voters that Rahm & Co. need to stay in office.

In the park after the killagin parade, many local chains giving away boatloads of school related supplies, again just to be wasted.
More money is spent per pupil in the Chicago Public Schools then in any other school system in the country and most foreign countries. More money is not the answer, unless you ask the teacher's union and the liberal democrats. Every other word that comes out of Quinn's mouth is " for the children". Taxes are killing the average American.
Peoples Republic of Chicago. .... to live in a democracy, you must have an educated, critically thinking public... JB
The Safe Passage workers are making $10 per hour. Here's an idea, why not require that the parents who are not employed and collect aid work on the Safe Passage routes for free, after all its their "babies" and they get free education.
C.J. Twillie,
Can I use my voucher for medical marijuana?
I got's a bad eye while I was 'carcerated in the County.
They are prepping the areas for a real estate comeback.
Been to a few of the back to school events sponsored by politicians.
Free eye exams.
Free dental check ups.
Free hair cuts.
Free book bags, pencils, markers, clips, notebooks, paper, erasers and anything else mama should be buying.
AND YES FREE SHOES!!!!!
Free food and drink during the events and an obamacare booth to help everyone get into the proper programs. It was made to sound like their ship has arrived AGAIN.
and then they die young, what a waste of marketing.
Wait until one of these children/adults fall and decide to sue the city. You will see the legal bills and poop yourself
Don't 4get that u must drive 20 mph or get ticketed during school hours! I HATE THIS CITY..... All about filling Rham's pocket & giving the finger salute to everyone else.
Remember the city doing sodding of the ghetto about 10 years ago. The dirt Was like concrete, 50 years of broken bottles and rubbers encased in the ghetto concrete once called soil.
' -- Voucher also good at Best Buy, Brown's Chicken, and Monique's Hair & Nail Salon.
Monique's hair and nail salon....lol priceless!
Only the best for Rahm's voters.
Now, Kees me you fool!!!!

How many houses on Anthony at 87th street and heading north? You never walked that street.
I am truely glad I moved from Chicago to Indiana. That crap just does not happen here. When the Mayor of Gary recently asked the Governor for State Troopers to help patrol Gary, she expected them for free. He told her fine, as long as the City reimburse the State for the daily cost of the troopers. The City of Gary is broke and does not have the money, so no troopers. So the savages keep killing each other (Gary has the highest murder rate in the State).Indianapolis and the rest of Lake County (primarily white middle class) absolutely does not give a damn if Gary dries up and blows away. And guess what, all of our employee pensions are fully funded and the State has a $1 billion surplus. Yes, my pension is taxed, but that is a small price to pay. I truely feel sorry for the hard working officers who are forced to work and live in such a liberal shithole that caters to non-productive residents.
This City is shitting all over it self about this Safe Passage crap THEY MADE UP!
Just pulled all the PPO's out of field training to S.P.
Hope they are quick learners...

You're a real man, aren't you? You showed an old lady.
Pussy.
read the original post.....it does not make sense
"More money is spent per pupil in the Chicago Public Schools then in any other school system in the country...."
_______________
False. New Trier District (which is NOT the top spending district) spends about 50% more per pupil.
Pretty sure those parents would rather have a handful of new police officers than even 100 miles of new sidewalks
I AM sure that these parents would rather have their little darlings driven to school by the CPD so they don't have to miss one minute of the fine broadcasting selection on OWN.
Checked and its the 50/50 program ..... So how can it be free for safe passage ? Post doesn't make sense
Simple. If you decide you want a new sidewalk in front of your house and the city determines that, while it may have some cracks in it, it is still good, they will replace it BUT you have to share half the cost.
In this case, it's all a PR campaign for the Tiny Dancer.
I'm actually surprised that they did not have coppers assigned to protect them until the cement dried. Wouldn't want any gang banger to etch their gang signs in them. That would distract the little tykes from thinking about their studies while they walk to and from school.
AND YES FREE SHOES!!!!!
024 had their BACK TO SCHOOL cook out on Saturday. Jesus......it was like a feeding frenzy in shark infested waters. I saw moms ( very few, if any baby daddys)jumping back in line to get more free t-shirts and, yes, SHOES! They were giving away crocs.
I suggest they put small curbs on each edge of the new sidewalks so as to keep shell casings on the sidewalks and prevent them from rolling away. All the better to keep those pesky shell casings visible and easier to collect and photograph.

Not ADA compliant, but it was a good shot at a solution. Pun intended.
