We had a blast!Thanks to everyone who attend the ECA's July 4th Parade, Picnic & Concert.We marched. We ate hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and brats. We danced. We played games. We celebrated Independence Day the Edgebrook way. Thank you neighbors for helping us celebrate. Thank you volunteers who pitched in on the food service, face painting, games and inflatables. Special thanks to Edgebrook's Park Community Church for running the games so well! We could not have done it without you.

Nothing to do? Visit the library.The ECA supports our LibraryTake a look at what's being offered at the Edgebrook Branch Library. In addition to books, movies, music, and reference materials, our library has a wealth of interesting, educational, and fun programming. Take a look. |
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.
