Reimagined Streetscape

• Intersection lacks traffic management, stoplights, and separation from pedestrians.

• Lack of vegetation and aesthetic appeal makes it unattractive for businesses and bike/ped traffic.

• Streetscape needs renovations to support development of Forum and accommodate tourists, residents, and community activities.

• Commercial Corridor planning team designed a reimagined streetscape rendering in-house.

• Bioswales, green medians, and permeable pavers address environmental concerns and improve mental and physical health benefits.

• Access to greenspace has been linked to increased property values.

• Updated streetscaping will support the reactivation of the Commercial Corridor as a community hub, including the 43 Green Development.

• 4249 S. Calumet St. and the Bronzeville streetscape have been reimagined to meet community needs and transform liabilities into amenities.

• This planning process is an example of how the Bronzeville Comprehensive Plan can be implemented on the ground.

• The goal is to achieve a more resilient, livable, and equitable community.
