Participatory budgeting at the local Government level

Participatory budgeting at the local Government level is a new idea being tried in the 49th ward of Chicago with excellent results. 
The local constituents decided how they would spend their Ward's budget allocation whether it was on bike paths, footpaths, community gardens- a whole range of ideas. 
Here is the link to see how it worked in the community  http://www.linktv.org/onechicago/films/view/699
Could this happen in the Pullenvale Ward?
