It might be awhile. The last meeting I went to on the subject, the City's Dept. of Community Development said that it would take 7-10 YEARS to redevelop Stateway Gardens and Robert Taylor homes and the areas around it. That was before the mortgage meltdown and the ensuing depression (they're not calling it that, but that's what it is).
Tillman wasn't fixing potholes even before IDOT started working on the Ryan. And the alternate routes (King Dr., State, Cottage Grove, Stony Island, Halsted, Ashland), were supposed to have been fixed up before the Ryan rebuilding started.
She was a miserable excuse for an alderman, and I'm glad she's gone.
Mayor Daley, do something about the potholes man! I've been away from Chicago for close to 13 years now and there are still craters in the streets of our communities. That's just WRONG.
Daley's mistake is expecting the alderman to take care of this kind of stuff. The city gives each alderman $1.3 million apiece to spend on streets, sidewalks, alleys and ights. For 2004, Dorothy Tillman, whose 3rd ward this part of State Street is in, spent $88,000 of her $1.3 million: On four statues near her ward office at 47th and King Dr., and on some speedbumps. The unspent portion went back to the city. She's exactly the way Harold Washington described her;-)

On this side of town, potholes are the least of the city's worries.
