Alderman Cardenas and staff hosted a Clean and Green for the 3500 and 3600 Blocks of South Wood Street in McKinley Park from 11 AM till 1 PM. The event was co-hosted with Chicago C.A.P.S. officers from the 9th District. The event was created by residents and the Alderman’s office to strengthen neighbor relations and to deter crime. Alderman Cardenas stated, “When we come together as a community we let criminals know we are not only watching but care for our homes. The state of our direct environment is a display of how we feel about our lives. Hats off to the Chicago C.A.P.S. officers for their continued work to make McKinley Park one of the safest places to live in Chicago.”
