A proposed resolution to adopt the Clark Street Crossroads corridor study, the study will provide a common, community-driven framework for future land use, development, mobility, and public space for the Clark Street corridor from Montrose Avenue to Foster Avenue in the Uptown community area. This corridor is located at a crossroads of multiple wards and neighborhoods with a diverse set of stakeholder perspectives and priorities. The study recommendations will reflect shared goals and provide clarity for Uptown, Ravenswood, and Andersonville stakeholders on a future roadmap. A draft of the study report was presented to the community and posted for public comment in January 2023, the final document presented here today has incorporated that feedback.

A proposed resolution to adopt the Red Line Extension (RLE) Transit-Supportive Development Plan. The Chicago Transit Authority is pursuing the Red Line Extension Project, a 5.6-mile extension starting from the existing terminal at 95th/Dan Ryan and terminating at 130th Street, subject to the availability of funding. The RLE Transit-Supportive Development (TSD) Plan is a proactive effort to create a guide for future development in communities located near the RLE project area. Initiated in 2020, the TSD Plan was led by the CTA and in partnership with the City of Chicago’s Department of Planning and Development. At the heart of the TSD Plan will be the community’s vision for each of the station areas which seeks to promote development without the displacement of existing residents and achieve community-focused benefits such as affordable housing, local economic development, and environmental sustainability.
