Special Service Area #42 was created in partnership with 5th Ward Alderman Leslie Hairston and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce to provide additional services to the business corridors.
Area businesses, property owners, and consumers are surveyed about their vision for the neighborhood and the need for specific services. Key findings, such as the area’s cleanliness, walkability, traffic patterns, public transportation, safety issues, building conditions and vacancy rates, provide the information needed for program development and long-term planning.
The SSA boundaries are 71st from Kimbark Ave. to South Shore Drive Stony Island 67th to 73rd on the eastside Stony Island 67th to 79th on the westside Map of the SSA #42 Area (PDF)
