Public Comments

 

A proposed resolution to adopt the Harlem Avenue Visioning Study. The study sets forth a big-picture vision for potential future projects along Harlem Avenue and identifies areas of greatest need, opportunities, and aspirations. The Visioning Study area consists of a two-mile stretch of Harlem Avenue, spanning from Irving Park Road to Grand Avenue in the Dunning and Montclare Community Areas. The study considers public right of way improvements along the Harlem Avenue corridor to enhance the public realm, improve safety and circulation, provide storefront recommendations, identify new open spaces for gatherings and events, create branding options for the corridor and locations with a history of Italian and Italian American businesses, locate gateway identifiers for the focus areas that welcome visitors to the area, identify opportunity sites for new businesses, and outline an implementation framework to guide a future streetscape project. An informational presentation was provided to the Chicago Plan Commission in April 2024, and a survey and draft of the study were released for public feedback through May 2024.
