From the Congressman’s Office – Pressuring USPS Leaders for Solutions

The message below was sent to constituents by U.S. Representative, Mike Quigley, 5th District of Illinois.

Dear Friend,

Since January, I have heard from close to 1,000 of my constituents who have been receiving mail only a few times per week. Often, households are going a week or more without any mail delivery at all. Although there has been sporadic mail delivery in our communities before, this is the worst it has been in years.

In normal times, these issues would be objectionable. During the ongoing public health emergency, it is simply unacceptable. No one should be expected to wait a week or more for their medicine to arrive or not be able to cover their expenses because of delays with mail delivery.

If you are experiencing issues with your mail delivery, please CLICK HERE to contact my office so we can properly report the problem to the U.S. Postal Service. A member of my staff will relay your situation to USPS officials.

My staff and I have been working around the clock to communicate each constituent’s delivery issues directly to USPS. These inquiries have been sent to USPS officials in the Chicago and Central districts to help identify delays and solutions.

This week, I used my position as Chairman of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee to ask the Chief Executive of the Postal Service, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, about the delays in mail delivery. I specifically raised my concerns about the issues being experienced in my district and pressed him to provide timely, workable solutions.

I have also spoken with U.S. Postal Service management in Chicago throughout the pandemic and increasingly over the past few weeks. Since the pandemic began last year, USPS in Chicago has contended with severe staffing issues and difficulty retaining new employees. These operational challenges in no way excuse the abysmal mail delivery we have experienced in recent months.

Resolving this issue remains my top priority and my staff and I will not stop working until we get answers for everyone who has been impacted by delivery delays this year.

As always, I hope you will take the time to share your opinion with me. You can contact me on social media platforms under @RepMikeQuigley, by email using my website at https://quigley.house.gov/contact, or by phone at (202) 225-4061.

Sincerely,

Mike Quigley Signature

Snowmelt Flood Warning

Urban flooding will occur in Graceland West when sewer systems become overwhelmed from the warmer weather snowmelt expected this week. 

What to do based on Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) advice:  

  1. Make sure neighborhood storm drains are not buried under snow drifts or clogged with leaves or debris.
  2. Postpone high water consumption activities during precipitation events.  
  3. If your home has a backwater valve installed on the sewer, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning to ensure that it is functioning properly.
  4. Check your sump pump to make sure it is working properly.
  5. If you home is prone to flooding, you might want to remove valuable items from the basement floor.
  6. Keep your gutters clear.  When they are blocked, water will pour over the edges, landing on the ground, next to your home.  If you have cracks in the wall of your basement or problems with your tile, this water could enter your home.
  7. Keep downspouts free of exterior snow to the ground so snowmelt from roofs has a path to flow and doesn’t enter and damage your residence, garage or business roof or building facade.

Gratitude – 8th Annual Volunteer Street Leaf Cleanup

WOW!  What a fantastic neighborhood effort!  This, our largest annual volunteer effort, broke all records.  Hundreds of neighbors raked and bagged 483 bags of street and crosswalk leaves with some sidewalk and parkway leaves included.  Thank you to all who volunteered including the GWCA Council Members, Street Leaf Cleanup Committee and Block Reps who led this effort and the crew from Aramark at Lake View High School.  If you have photos, feel free to share on Facebook and Instagram @graceland_west_gwca.

This effort will help reduce street flooding, make neighborhood walking less slippery for all and make shoveling snow for parking spaces easier.

Streets and Sanitation picked up bagged leaves from parkways on Tuesday, Nov 17. If you’ve still got leaves to bag, please call 311 or Alderman Martin’s office for a special bagged pickup. As a reminder, it is illegal to rake or blow leaves into the street and you may be fined for violating city ordinance according to Sec. 10-8-480, which covers anything being littered in the public way. If you see a landscaping company or resident raking/blowing leaves into the street, you may alert Alderman Martin’s office.
