The pilot will cost between $1.1 million and $3.5 million next year in four zones around the city, according to a report released by the Johnson administration.
Members of the Chicago Police Department’s 6th District third watch shift clear snow from the sidewalk in the Chatham neighborhood on Jan. 31, 2021. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration on Friday took the next step toward making the “Plow the Sidewalks” campaign a reality, announcing a pilot program next year to provide city-run snow-clearing services in four areas across the city.
“Chicago is a world-class city, and as a world-class city, it must be accessible for our seniors and individuals living with disabilities in the winter months during periods of heavy snow and ice,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our Plow the Sidewalks pilot program is an example of how our administration is committed to addressing the needs of all Chicagoans, and today is an important step forward in building a safer city where no resident is left behind.
“Plow the Sidewalks” caught fire in 2021 when a coalition of transportation and disability advocates campaigned on the idea that Chicago can afford the free service during the winter, when the physical labor of shoveling snow and ice can be strenuous or even dangerous for some. Alds. Gil Villegas, 36th, and Daniel La Spata, 1st, led that push within the City Council via an ordinance calling for the pilot, along with the mayor’s working group that released the Friday recommendations.
