Old Town Triangle Association Old Town Triangle Association

Neighborhood Improvement/Beautification Committee

Mission:

The mission of the Neighborhood Improvement Committee (NIC) is to develop and maintain the physical environment of the Old Town Triangle including improvement of open spaces, green areas, sidewalks, and parkways.

Even though Old Town is among the most vibrant, well situated, and rewarding of Chicago’s neighborhoods, there is always room for improvement. NIC is committed to addressing the ongoing and changing needs of our community as is consistent with OTTA’s organizational goals. Identifying and responding to those opportunities is the business of the Neighborhood Improvement Committee.

NIC identifies projects which address neighborhood needs and infrastructure opportunities within Old Town. NIC works with public and private offices to address those projects. NIC provides the maintenance of 10 green refuse containers scattered throughout the Triangle; oversees the landscape in the “pocket” parks on Willow and Menomonee at Wells Street, the play lot in North Ogden Park, the maintenance of the Clark/Wisconsin Park, and additional projects pertaining to street-scape maintenance.

The NIC helps Old Town residents maintain the unique charm of our streetscapes. They provide assistance to residents interested in replacing missing or dead trees in the parkways in front of their homes.
