PB in the 17th Ward

Alderman David Moore brought PB to the 17th Ward in 2015.  Learn more about the ward, upcoming events, and past cycles below.

17th Ward Overview

The 17th Ward stretches across six different South Side community areas: Chicago Lawn, West Englewood, Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Greater Grand Crossing, and Chatham. The ward includes Marquette Park, the largest park on Chicago’s Southwest Side. While most of the ward is residential, many major thoroughfares – for both vehicular traffic and cargo trains – pass through the ward.
