Maywood Roosevelt Road Corridor Study
The Village of Maywood seeks assistance from the RTA and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) who are partnering together to conduct a study of the Roosevelt Road corridor in southern portions of the Village, from 1st Avenue on the east to 13th Avenue on the west. The goal of the Roosevelt Road Corridor plan is to identify immediate, near term and long-term opportunities for, as well as the feasibility of a number of economic development projects including, the potential for infill housing, mixed-use development, and the bolstering of commercial development along the corridor. Additionally, they seek to improve the curb appeal and pedestrian access to transit, businesses, and the Hines VA Hospital, Madden Mental Health Center, and Loyola's Medical campus. By partnering with adjacent villages, institutions, and stakeholders the Village will be able to better to coordinate a more detailed plan for the corridor's future, creating a more accessible and safe environment for the community.
The project kicked off in May 2025 with creation of a Communications and Outreach Strategy to guide the community engagement elements of the project. During the summer, the project team conducted stakeholder interviews and worked on an existing conditions report, while attending community engagement events scheduled throughout the summer and fall 2025.
