At the end of last month, 40th Ward Alderman Andre Vasquez announced plans for an upcoming large-scale street development project and vision for Lincoln Avenue! Following community ideas and feedback gathered during the Lincoln Square Master Plan, the Alderman is launching a re-imagining of Lincoln Avenue North, from Western to Catalpa, with support from the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) and Department of Transportation (CDOT).
The streetscape project will include:
- Sidewalk and crosswalk improvements,
- Corridor beautification and greening,
- More public community spaces, and
- The creation of the Lincoln Avenue North Arts District (LANA).
