This past fall, the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) conducted a virtual community meeting to discuss and answer questions regarding the second phase of the Lawrence Avenue streetscape project. The project will extend the streetscape from Western Avenue to the Chicago River, and will build upon the success of the first section that was completed between Clark Street and Western Avenue.
The project aims to improve safety for all users, upgrade aging infrastructure, create a livable street, increase walkability, and support economic development. The streetscape is currently in its final design stage with construction anticipated to commence in late Spring / early Summer of 2021.
