Edgebrook is picture perfect and we have the photos to prove it. Twelve images of Edgebrook grace the ECA’s 2019 Desktop Calendar, making each day a red-letter day in the neighborhood. Our calendar features the work of ECA Director Christine Rosenberg and other Edgebrook neighbors. Christine has been capturing the fun at the ECA July 4th parades, the bounty of Edgebrook gardens, and the sheer delight of Egg Hunts for many years. Now you can have a selection of her art in your home. Renew your membership for 2019 at the ECA Welcome Center during the Holiday Stroll and take home a calendar that is as practical as it is gorgeous. This offer is open to current 2018 ECA members who take advantage of early renewal at the ECA Welcome Center. Don’t delay. Supply is limited. |

The City of Chicago’s primary concern is keeping the major traffic arteries clear. Plowing side streets is a much lower priority for the Department of Streets and Sanitation.
The ECA, on the other hand, is concerned about emergency vehicle access to our side streets as well as the ability of our neighbors to get out of the neighborhood and off to work in a timely fashion.
The ECA notifies our plowing contractor when snow fall reaches four inches. The contractor clears a path down the center of the street. The goal is not total snow removal, but rather the creation of an access path for emergency vehicles as well as egress for our neighbors.
The ECA provides snow plow service to this area, excluding the major city streets.
Call the ECA Snow Plowing HOTLINE (312) 560 4342.
