  • Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor Architectural Historical Survey
    Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor Architectural Historical Survey Prepared by: Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. 330 Pfingsten Road Northbrook, Illinois 60062 (847) 272-7400 WJE Project No. 2005.4108 2 November 2006 Architectural Historical Survey Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor 2 FINAL FOR HPC REVIEW 2 November 2006 Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor Architectural Historical Survey PROJECT BACKGROUND In summer 2006, the Village of Oak Park began a planning and development study of the eastern Lake Street Corridor. 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.

    DISCOVER MORE AT CELEBRATINGSENIORS.NET • Discount O ers • Hundreds of Things To Do • Over 60 Seniors You Need To Meet HOW DID CELEBRATING SENIORS WEEK COME TO BE? Annually since 2011, Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park gather their resources and talents to celebrate seniors—the older adults who continue to play such a vital role in our communities. The Celebrating Seniors Coalition originated after a flood (as many creation stories start) and today is a valuable resource for emergency needs, cooperation between agencies, raising awareness of services for older neighbors, and highlighting issues that impact those over 60. In 2008 the Des Plaines River overflowed and many seniors were in trouble. Generous community members jumped in to help in the recovery e orts. The volunteers wanted to set up a resource bank for our older neighbors who may need some extra supports in the future. So a team of community volunteers from Oak Park Township Senior Services had an IDEA for Celebrating Seniors Week! “We can highlight the great “Educate seniors everyone in our “create SEWER community!” funds for on Aging” seniorshomes in finance crisis” Funds Moving support Fees needs such as... Tech Support community resources moving resources Funds are raised through events during Celebrating Seniors Housing week and through the ad sales in this book. We are grateful to all the businesses who were able to advertise after a fire with us, you make a dierence in the lives of our older community neighbors in a very special way. Thank you! Ne wS neighborhoods real estate climate CELEBRATING SENIORS WEEK: ENGAGE AT EVERY AGE ith a stroke of luck, I stepped into the Celebrating Seniors Coalition at its inception eight years ago.
