31st Street Corridor Study Underway

Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Business

The Chicago Department of Transportation has hired consultants to conduct a 31st Street Corridor Study, and it will be part of the larger Southwest Industrial Corridor Transportation Study. 31st Street serves industrial land uses, and has a significant amount of truck traffic. The goal is to evaluate how the corridor operates and how people can comfortably travel by various modes of transportation, as well as identifying ways to enhance the experience for those who walk, bike, take public transit, and live here. So far, the project team has compiled an Existing Conditions Report and aims to build their understanding of issues through community engagement, both through this study and as part of the broader Southwest Industrial Corridor Transportation Study. Two Task Force meetings are anticipated in early 2022: the first meeting will be a chance to share findings and establish a collective vision for 31st Street; the second meeting will be an opportunity to discuss strategies and a plan for implementation. Community members are encouraged to share their ideas, concerns, and recommendations, at https://31st-swic-sschwartz.hub.arcgis.com/
