The Council was created to provide the framework for maintaining a high level of local stakeholder participation in the process of ensuring that the Quality of Life plan is carried out. The Council is also the forum for continuing to vet community issues and concerns. The Council is comprised of seven committees formed around the focus areas cited in the Quality of Life plan: housing, education, cultural arts, community health and safety, youth, business and workforce development, and land use and open space. These committees are responsible for addressing issues and managing projects within their focus areas. The Council includes a diverse group of people, some of whom have experience serving on boards and committees and others who have never participated in this kind of work before. Leadership development, team-building, problem solving and other technical trainings are available to the Council’s general and committee membership. Openlands Openlands is a not-profit conservation organization that works to preserve and enhance open space throughout northeastern Illinois. Its urban greening program has three missions: 1) to train and work with volunteer TreeKeepers to help monitor and care for the health of the urban forest on both public and private spaces; 2) to work with and support empowerment of local residents from neighborhoods throughout the city to develop and help carry out community-based open space plans; and 3) to provide public and school-based education and outreach on the value of green infrastructure and nature in the city. 05 Open Space Goals of the Partners Many members of the Land Use and Open Space committee participated in the larger community planning process in East Garfield that is led by Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance as part of the New Communities Program. Within our committee we came up with goals that we wish to accomplish, and we have included the Quality of Life plan goals here as well. These goals sought to integrate the changing face of the community - housing, transportation, business and industrial development - with educational, cultural and social institutions and services. The Land Use and Open Space Committee has focused on four main goals that it wishes to accomplish: • Ensure that new development contains sufficient open space. • Ensure that neighborhood parks are adequately developed, maintained and programmed. • Ensure that land ownership opportunities are preserved for local residents. • Ensure that emerging development and zoning changes respond to the land use strategies. With the completion of this open space plan, the partners hope that any other plans for East Garfield Park, such as those developed by the City of Chicago, the Chicago Park District, Chicago Public Schools, private schools, community and economic development organizations and private developers, incorporate the goals and site priorities of this plan within those plans. This open space plan - a living, changing document - has and will continue to integrate its content with all of the others. 06 Open Space Planning Goals Quality open space is vital to the quality of life in any neighborhood. In a neighborhood like East Garfield Park where there are many unsightly vacant lots with much potential, as well as an influx of development, it is crucial to determine what types of goals the community has for open space. Open spaces are areas in a neighborhood where people create and celebrate life together, culture is practiced and food is grown, where people share their time and watch each other’s children. No community is whole or healthy without adequate and accessible open space and open space activities. East Garfield, though it has vacant space, has many opportunities for more accessible green, open space. Goals for local open space developed by the Land Use and Open Space Committee: • Preserve open/green spaces in the midst of land development. • Develop an open space plan in conjunction with residents and agencies. This plan should emphasize smaller neighborhood-scale parks, community gardens and other public green spaces, especially in underserved areas, in walkable distances. • Publicize the open space plan developed and promote it as a guideline for agencies and City representatives. • Promote environmental stewardship and capitalize on the “green” resources and character of the community (such as the proposed Community Food Center and Home Composting Program through the Conservatory). • Coordinate streetscape and landscape upgrades to establish a quality neighborhood image. • Develop short and long-term strategies for the re-use of the estimated 1,750 private and city- owned vacant lots in East Garfield Park to include parks or open space.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 5, 2021 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 press@cityofchicago.org MAYOR LIGHTFOOT JOINS ALDERMAN JASON ERVIN, GARFIELD PARK RITE TO WELLNESS COLLABORATIVE MEMBERS, AND LOCAL RESIDENTS TO BREAK GROUND AT COMMUNITY PLAZA AND ROLLER RINK IN WEST GARFIELD PARK New Plaza represents City’s first major infrastructure investment under the Neighborhood Activation Initiative Chicago- Today, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot joined Alderman Jason Ervin (28th Ward), City departments and agencies, and members of the Garfield Park Rite to Wellness Collaborative to break ground on a vacant lot that is being transformed into a new Community Plaza and Roller Rink in West Garfield Park as part of the Mayor’s new Neighborhood Activation initiative. Neighborhood Activation is a focused violence prevention and community investment initiative that combines community direction and aspirations and City services and assets to implement programs, social services, and changes to the built environment at a hyperlocal block level. "Neighborhood Activation serves as my administration's latest commitment to enhancing public safety and builds on our comprehensive summer safety strategy," said Mayor Lightfoot. "By making investments at the block level in communities that are facing high levels of violence, we are able to give our most vulnerable residents the resources they need to stay engaged and stay safe. Only by driving resources where they are needed most, with input from community members, can we truly eliminate the scourge of violence from our city." According to statistics, West Garfield Park ranks seven out of the top 15 neighborhoods experiencing gun violence, and from January 1 – May 31, 2021, West Garfield Park had the highest rate of fatal and non-fatal shootings relative to the population of all community areas in the city.

The intent of the study is to solicit community input on the current status and perceived needs of the neighborhood; to provide a land use plan to guide future development on Lake Street; to assess the economic marketability of the Lake Street corridor; to promote mixed uses and pedestrian- oriented development; to assess parking needs and traffic; to identify economic limitations and funding strategies; to develop a character plan to guide future architectural and infrastructure design on the corridor; to identify zoning and regulatory changes needed to support desired development; and to identify buildings with historic character and significance that should be preserved during future redevelopment. This architectural historical survey addresses the last of these various goals established by the Village. Most but not all of the study area is included within the Ridgeland-Oak Park Historic District. The study area includes numerous contributing buildings for the district, as well as non-contributing contemporary structures. This architectural historical survey report has been developed as part of the overall planning study for the Lake Street corridor by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, Chicago, Illinois, scheduled for completion in December 2006.

  • 2017Chicago Transit Authority a Horse Drawn Omnibus, Originally Operated by the Citizen’S Line Circa 1853, Is Displayed at West Shops at Pulaski and Lake
    HISTORICAL CALENDAR 2017Chicago Transit Authority A horse drawn omnibus, originally operated by the Citizen’s Line circa 1853, is displayed at West Shops at Pulaski and Lake. These early transit vehicles were quite primitive, barely just a notch above stagecoaches – little more than hard, wooden bench seats were provided on either side of very sparsely appointed coaches, with no heat, light, or other amenities. It is hard to believe that, from such humble beginnings, Chicago would one day have the second largest public transit system in North America, as it does today.

    cta 2021 Historical Calendar cta 2021 January Built in 1936 by the St. Louis Car Company, Chicago Surface Lines trolley bus #184 heads eastbound via Diversey to Western. Trolley bus service was first introduced in Chicago on the #76 Diversey route in 1930.
