So far, Dining at a Distance has listed over 1,000 Chicago and suburban restaurants offering delivery, and curbside pick up. They have other cities too. https://www.diningatadistance.com/chi
On March 5th between 8 and 9 pm neighborhood garages, especially in the middle of the neighborhood were hit with graffiti.
Here’s a description of the person involved: White male: Age 16-18. Build; Scrawny Hair: Mid length blonde hair, Top: Navy blue puffy jacket. This was a white high-school age kid who was wearing nice clothes. He was moving from East to West and when I confronted him he ran west across Ashland.
1) There’s a crew of them, I think. On more than one occasion, I’ve seen them hanging in the alley on Warner (north side, close to Greenview), clearing out a car of aerosol cans, possibly spray paint. I never got up close to look. Once, I came upon three of them crouched over a chair left in the same alley. Later, when I saw the chair again, it had been tagged, presumably by those kids.
2) The kids all matched Pete’s general description. The multiple sightings leads me to suspect at least one lives in the area.
3) Yes everyone please give the police all information you have. My report number is ID175538 – we should cross reference with one another’s reports to get the attention this needs! If anyone has video, please email to cAPS019@chicagopolice.org along with the report #.
Please use the Chicago Works app and report all graffiti you see to 311 immediately. Our neighborhood last experienced a bout of graffiti in December from Clark to Ravenswood.
Graffiti from last night was removed early this morning, March 6th. Additionally Alderman Martin’s office or our Streets and Sanitation Supt will look through the neighborhood again late this afternoon to double check work.
BTW, our neighborhood crime is very low because of your care and attentiveness. Not locking house doors and windows and garage doors and windows and car doors is a neighborhood weakness. Let’s lock up and let’s have a bright porch light on from dusk to dawn all year.

Local School Councils are comprised of 13 persons who are representative of the school community: 6 parents, 2 community members, 2 teachers, 1 staff member, 1 student, and the principal.
The 2-year terms of the current LSC expire on June 30, 2020. As such, we are commencing with the election process to select the LSC that will be in office from July 1, 2020-June 30, 2022.

January 26, 2020 1st Quarter Meeting minutes.
Council Member, Bruce Braun, chaired the meeting
Barbara Sullivan, GWCA Treasurer, presented the 2020 GWCA Budget, which was approved
GWCA Members Jason Ruprecht and Colin McCleod, who both worked on the August 2019 Neighborhood Infrastructure Survey, were elected to the two open GWCA Council seats.
A $1,000 GWCA Scholarship check was presented to Lake View High School and accepted on behalf of LVHS by LVHS faculty member and GWCA Council Member, Joanne Yonan.
711, 1415 West Irving, has been one of a number of businesses requesting package liquor licenses on Irving Park. They made a presentation requesting a package liquor license and attending GWCA members voted 62% in favor and 38% opposed. The vote includes lifting the 1995 Package Liquor License Moratorium, which is on both sides of Irving Park from Ashland to Clark, for a minimum of 12 months so 711 can apply for the license.
GWCA live-streamed some of the meeting. We’ll try for better sound quality next time.
Thank you to all who took the time to participate in this Community Meeting.
GWCA’s 1st Quarter 2020 Community Meeting includes:
* LVHS Update by Principal Karafiol
* Vote whether or not to lift the Package Liquor License Moratorium on both sides of Irving Park between Ashland and Clark for a minimum of 12 months to allow permanent package liquor sales for at least one business. The moratorium was placed in 1995 and GWCA Block Rep leaders and 19th District Police have long considered the moratorium helpful for neighborhood safety. Numerous businesses have been interested in selling package liquor there.
* Vote on two Council seats.
When: Sunday, January 26, 5:30 pm. Doors open at 5 pm. Please sign in before 5:30.

GWCA thanks everyone in advance for helping to make sure no dogs are permitted inside the Lake View High School Campus. Dog urine will damage the artificial turf on the field, track and playlot. The multi-million dollar improvements provide students with outdoor space for gym, a practice field and a big athletics program. This space is also shared with the community when not in use by the school. The area is posted “no dogs”, but we need everyone’s help to maintain the property. Just like indoor carpet, dog urine and residual feces is damaging to the artificial turf surfaces. Additionally, as this is athletic space, allowing dogs isn’t healthy for students who have ground / artificial turf contact or neighborhood children who crawl on the surface. And if you notice any litter not in containers, can you help pick it up even if you didn’t leave it?
Thank you everyone!

GWCA Annual Holiday Pot Luck and Update: Sunday, December 15, 5:30 pm at Rizal. Free Parking
As a neighborhood resident, you are invited to our GWCA holiday pot luck. Just bring a dish to share and join us for an old fashioned neighborhood get together with food, desserts, drinks and BYOB. LVHS Principal Karafiol will provide a brief update of the school and council member Jeff Fleshman will show us how to improve our sidewalks, roads, trees, and more by just having our phone at the ready. When? Where? Sunday, December 15, 5:30 pm at Rizal, 1332 West Irving Park. Free Parking. We’ve reserved space to continue socializing afterwards at the new Port & Park. They have hard or soft cider, Irish coffee and a full menu and are offering you a GWCA Discount for whatever you order.
This time of this event is designed so families can attend with children as young as infants. Based on multiple neighborhood surveys, families with children or all ages and business travelers who often leave early on Monday or workers who frequently have long hours chose Sunday, late afternoon or early evening as a preferred GWCA time. So we encourage you to attend.
GWCA ECO / Green Committee:
GWCA is applying for a TreePlanters grant from Openlands, a local environmental nonprofit. The grant will allow GWCA to work with professional arborists to replace 10-30 street trees in our neighborhood. If you have an open spot along the parkway between your sidewalk and the street, please contact GWCA ECO / Green Committee Member, Joel McFarland joel.mcfarland@gmail.com or contact info@gracelandwest.org so that you can be included in our grant application.
What will happen when I request a tree through the TreePlanters grant? GWCA will include your parkway spot on the list of potential planting sites that we submit to Openlands. If we receive the grant, an arborist will visit the site and determine whether a tree can be planted and what species would be appropriate. We will work with Openlands to schedule a planting date in the spring. We ask that you join us for the planting and commit to watering and caring for the tree after it is planted.
Why should I care about street trees? Street trees absorb water and help mitigate neighborhood flooding. They also help to cool our neighborhood, improve air quality, and increase property values
I submitted a 311 request for a new street tree. Why hasn’t the city responded? The city has a backlog of tree requests and often takes over a year to respond. Openlands coordinates their work with the city and has permission to plant trees in parkways. The Openlands TreePlanters grants help neighborhoods to replant their street trees more quickly.
