Is anyone aware of a voting guide for the Feb. Ballot? I'm specifically concerned about picking bike/transit friendly aldermen.

I'm in 46th Ward.  ELEVEN candidates.  I want the one that will remove the gangbangers/drug dealers.  That will make the ward bike/transit friendly.

 

Not much of a decision for me in the 40th.  I actually thought I was in the 47th up until I actually looked it up.
Alderman Ariel Reboyras of the 30th ward is a board member of Active Transportation Alliance.

Best candidate in the 46th Ward, hands down, is Molly Phelan. I know her well and she'll do a great job.

Me and my wife have it down to Molly or Michael Carroll.  Either would be a vast improvement.

Why do you pick Molly over Michael?

39th Ward: Margaret Laurino

 

She was instrumental in getting the bike path along Lawrence, and she got the Sauganash Trail Built.

Her downside: she doesn't wear a helmet, but then again she doesn't bike too often.

 

What can an alderman do to "remove" gang bangers and drug dealers?

I've been receiving literature from a candidate showing himself with groups of police and talking about how tough he'll be on crime.  It's just meaningless pandering to constituents who don't understand an alderman's role.  And reinforces the idea that "tough" police action is the only possible response to the gang problem.

 

In response to the OP-- John Lankford (see "Walk Bike Transit") originally said they would post endorsements, but I heard today that's not happening. I haven't been able to get one bit of information to date in terms of how any of those efforts have gone.
