Broadway Land Use Planning

The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is partnering with the 46th, 47th, and 48th wards, the Edgewater Chamber of Commerce, and Uptown United to create a land use plan for Broadway between Montrose and Devon avenues.

Broadway is a busy commercial street along the CTA Red Line that connects the north lakefront to jobs, stores, schools, open spaces, neighborhood services, medical facilities and other destinations.

The land use planning process builds upon other recent planning efforts in Uptown and Edgewater. It will focus on expectations for new development and alignment with community goals. This effort is timely, as CTA’s Red and Purple Modernization project will soon be complete and construction staging sites will become available for redevelopment.
