The Chicago Department of Planning and Development is seeking to redevelop a large cluster of 30 City-owned parcels on six sites at the confluence of 39th Street (Pershing Road), Oakwood Boulevard, South Lake Park Avenue and Du Sable Lake Shore Drive (the "Development Sites"). The sites present a unique opportunity to create an equitable, transit-oriented neighborhood adjacent to regional assets and attractions including the historic Bronzeville & Kenwood communities, the Oakwood Beach, 31st Street Beach, Burnham Lakefront Park and Lake Michigan.
