Chicago - Auburn Gresham 79th Street Corridor Plan

The RTA assisted the City of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development with an initiative to provide transformative changes along the 79th Street commercial corridor within the Auburn Gresham community area. The plan will serve as a guide for future housing, retail and transportation investments in the community. Authored by the Department of Planning and Development in collaboration with the RTA and community organizations, the plan seeks to improve properties adjacent to the corridor in Auburn Gresham. The plan is the product of community meetings led by the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corp. and professional consultants.

Public feedback collected from design exercises, roundtable discussions, steering committees and neighborhood presentations informed the plan's proposed land uses and public space improvements.
