Oakwood and Lake Park
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.
Ald. Lamont Robinson (4) hosted a community meeting for residents to hear about the development proposals on October 10, 2024, at King College Prep.
Bronzeville residents and business owners are invited to take a survey to inform DPD and the developer teams about community priorities.
