  • Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, Held December 10 and 11, 2013
    Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, held December 10 and 11, 2013. Logos: CTA in partnership with Chicago Department of Transportation and Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development Welcome: Welcome to the public open house for the Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Environmental Assessment and project. • In April 2013, CTA and CDOT announced a vision for a center running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Ashland Avenue between Irving Park Road and 95th Street to provide a fast and reliable north/ south transit connection for 16 miles through Chicago. The vision reflects the planning process and community engagement undertaken in 2012. • Over the summer, CTA and CDOT heard from various key stakeholders about this plan. We are now holding two public open house meetings as an extension of this outreach to gather additional input from the public. CTA and CDOT are still developing the Ashland BRT design, and we are considering options and modifications, including the implementation of additional left turns, based on continued feedback from the public. • The public open house meetings will summarize studies of the project impacts, including traffic analyses, that have been performed as part of the formal Environmental Assessment for the project, in accordance with federal government requirements. The Environmental Assessment is now complete and available on CTA’s website and in hard copy at several community locations. CTA and CDOT would like your comments on the Environmental Assessment, which can be made at the public open houses or by e-mail at [email protected].

  • 2018 Fourth Quarter Progress Report October-December
    2014-2018 CHICAGO FIVE-YEAR HOUSING PLAN Strengthening Neighborhoods ----- Increasing Affordability. 2018 FOURTH QUARTER PROGRESS REPORT OCTOBER-DECEMBER City of Chicago Rahm Emanuel, Mayor LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER We are pleased to submit the 2018 Fourth Quarter Progress Report, which presents the Department of Planning and Development’s progress on the goals set forth in#PVODJOH#BDL the City’s fifth Five-Year Housing Plan covering the years 2014-2018. The document you hold in your hands marks two important milestones— the completion of the current Five-Year Plan and the final report from the Department of Planning and Development before our transition to a new, freestanding Department of Housing beginning January 1, 2019. For the full year 2018, DPD committed $271.8 million to preserve or create 8,539 units of housing in Chicago. These totals represent 85% of our annual resource allocation goal and 100% of our units assisted goal. The paTt five years have been particularly eventful ones for housing in Chicago. When they began we were still struggling to emerge from the 2007-8 market crash and ensuing recession; as they end we have entered a new era of growth that will bring forth a different set of challenges that the new Housing Department will be well positioned to address. With the help of our valued partners in the neighborhoods and the development com- munity, we coordinated the investment of OFBSMZ$CJMMJPO to preserve or create 22 units. This represents % of the five-year resource allocation goal and % of the five-year unit production goal. These investments fell into the following categories: • $37 billion to create or preserve 88 units of rental housing • $ million to promote and support homeownership for units • $ million to improve and preserve homeowner units During the fourth quarter of 2018 the City completed the drafting of our next Five-Year Plan for the years 2019-23.

With the newly added educational and high-rise housing facilities along with local and regional transit connections it will become GARFIELD PARK advantageous for private developers to increase the commercial, retail and residential GRANT density along Garfield Boulevard.
