BROADWAY ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION • Inconsistent paving materials and patterns 03A creates a sense of incohesiveness. • Planters at the bases of the mature trees are B too small and will impact the health of the trees, and are generally un-maintained. • Better tree maintenance and trimming is needed to create a more consistent feel for the corridor. Figure 1.22: Sidewalk on Broadway near Bryn Mawr Avenue • New free standing planters and unique bike racks have added significantly to the streetscape character. • The impact of the free standing planters needs to be enhanced by including additional landscape planters along the curb edge. • Many historic retail facades exist along Broadway, but some of the signage, façade treatments, and awnings are in need of appropriate repairs and upgrades. • Modern concealed building lighting, storefront Figure 1.23: Streetscape on Broadway near Bryn Mawr Avenue windows, and quality signage will help people appreciate the unique historic buildings along the corridor. • The Broadway corridor, north of Foster Avenue, has extensive distances between signalized pedestrian crossings. Many pedestrians are observed crossing illegally, between intersections, to get to businesses in this area. • Traffic speeds and volumes along Broadway create an unpleasant environment for extensive pedestrian activity. Figure 1.24: Sidewalk and signage on Broadway • Excessive curb cuts that support auto oriented businesses diminish the quality of the pedestrian environment and increase frequency of pedestrian/auto conflicts on sidewalks.

Bryn Mawr Avenue is designated by the City of Chicago as a Pedestrian Street. Pedestrian 03C Streets have special zoning requirements related to active ground floor uses, parking, and façade design requirements. Pedestrian streets, like Bryn Mawr Avenue, that are close to transit can capitalize on the city’s zoning bonuses.

Today, Bryn Mawr Avenue has a relatively balanced street configuration comprised of one Figure 1.28: Retail storefronts on Bryn Mawr Avenue driving lane and one on-street parking lane in each direction, 12-foot sidewalks, consistent street trees, and pedestrian scaled lighting. The example images shown in Figure 1.27 to Figure 1.30 illustrate some of the key streetscape and pedestrian realm characteristics of the Bryn Mawr Avenue corridor.

BRYN MAWR AVENUE ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION • Several unique buildings line the street east of Winthrop Avenue, while a low density Figure 1.29: Bryn Mawr Avenue sidewalk mix of small storefront retail establishments inhabit the blocks surrounding the CTA station. • Many of the small retail buildings are in need of updates to restore the character of the historic facades. • Further west, Bryn Mawr Avenue becomes a narrow residential street with 1-4 four story multifamily and single family housing. • The Bryn Mawr Avenue retail zone contains a mix of older and newer businesses, with some vacancies. At this time, the retail area Figure 1.30: Bryn Mawr Avenue sidewalk and streetscape appears to be in a transition, with some older businesses moving out and newer businesses moving in to serve the changing needs of the area.

ARGYLE STREET ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION Figure 1.34: Storefronts and streetscape on Argyle Street • The new streetscape has greatly improved the quality of the public realm in this area. Updating adjacent retail storefronts would further enhance the retail environment. • Consistent signage is needed to highlight the unique character of the historic buildings, and Asian culture, along Argyle Street. • A new pedestrian refuge median has been Figure 1.35: Shared street on Argyle Street added at the intersection of Argyle Street and Broadway (see Figure 1.37), however traffic speed and volumes in this area continue to create a difficult conditions for crossing pedestrians. • Continued education about the use, and rules of the shared street is needed to ensure that Argyle Street continues to be a safe place for expanded pedestrian activity.

Lawrence Avenue is comprised of two 14-foot driving lanes, on-street parking and 12-foot sidewalks. The pedestrian realm along Lawrence Avenue includes some street trees, and newer bike racks, but is in need of re- Figure 1.40: Sidewalk on Lawrence Avenue paving, and other updates. The pedestrian areas surrounding the existing CTA station has several abrupt level changes, deteriorated curb ramps, and multiple curb cuts within a short distance. These conditions create conditions where pedestrian and vehicular conflicts occur. This area sees heavy influx of pedestrians before and after shows within the entertainment district.

LAWRENCE AVENUE ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION • Although the street carries consistent traffic Figure 1.41: Building on Lawrence Avenue and Broadway in daytime hours, major events or concerts can cause significant traffic congestion in the district. • Several surface parking lots along Lawrence Avenue create areas where the pedestrian realm feels unwelcoming. Buffering, and landscaping of these parking areas is needed. • The intersection of Broadway and Lawrence Avenue receives high traffic volumes, and is complicated due to connections to diagonal streets. Figure 1.42: Retail and parking on Lawrence Avenue • A significant amount of curb cuts from surface parking areas and alleys exist along the Lawrence Avenue, creating unpleasant pedestrian conditions.
