  • Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014
    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 update II August 18, 2014 Dear Friends, The Streeterville Neighborhood Plan (“SNP”) was originally written in 2005 as a community plan written by a Chicago community group, SOAR, the Streeterville Organization of Active Resi- dents. SOAR was incorporated on May 28, 1975. Throughout our history, the organization has been a strong voice for conserving the historic character of the area and for development that enables divergent interests to live in harmony. SOAR’s mission is “To work on behalf of the residents of Streeterville by preserving, promoting and enhancing the quality of life and community.” SOAR’s vision is to see Streeterville as a unique, vibrant, beautiful neighborhood. In the past decade, since the initial SNP, there has been significant development throughout the neighborhood. Streeterville’s population has grown by 50% along with new hotels, restaurants, entertainment and institutional buildings creating a mix of uses no other neighborhood enjoys. The balance of all these uses is key to keeping the quality of life the highest possible. Each com- ponent is important and none should dominate the others. The impetus to revising the SNP is the City of Chicago’s many new initiatives, ideas and plans that SOAR wanted to incorporate into our planning document. From “The Pedestrian Plan for the City”, to “Chicago Forward”, to “Make Way for People” to “The Redevelopment of Lake Shore Drive” along with others, the City has changed its thinking of the downtown urban envi- ronment. If we support and include many of these plans into our SNP we feel that there is great- er potential for accomplishing them together.

  • 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].

  • Risk Framework for Public Private Partnerships in Highway Construction
    RISK FRAMEWORK FOR PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION by Mamata Shrestha An independent research paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science Construction Engineering and Management (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison 2011 RISK FRAMEWORK FOR PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION Mamata Shrestha1 ABSTRACT Recent Public Private Partnerships (P3) in the United States represents a significant advancement in the level of participation of the private sector in the provision of road and highway assets. A number of states and local governments consider P3 as a mechanism to streamline project delivery, transfer risk, reduce costs and raise additional transportation revenues. P3 broaden the private sector‟s participation beyond the design and construction phases to include the assumption of responsibility and risks for the financing, operations, and maintenance of project. In this paper, the author introduces a framework that identifies and organizes the broad range of risks associated with P3 arrangements for highway project delivery. The “PEST” framework organizes risks into four categories: Political, Economic, Socio-Cultural and Technical which could help P3 projects in devising risk management strategies. P3 projects could benefit by these categorization in identifying, allocating, managing and thus minimizing overall project risks. The framework was developed by considering the risks associated with major P3 highway projects in the United States. Project documentation, case studies, and literature related to P3 highway projects (completed/on-going) were used to validate the framework. The categorization of the risk factors can help practitioners identify the parties involved (public or private) that assume the most risk based on different phases of highway construction and the type of risk involved within it.

  • Epared This Community Involvement Plan (CIP) for the Four Peoples Gas Cleanup Sites Located on the Near North Side, One of 77 Well-Defined Community Areas of Chicago
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Community Involvement Plan Peoples Gas Plant Sites: Division Street Station Hawthorne Avenue Station North Station Willow Street Station City of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois August 2009 Introduction U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared this community involvement plan (CIP) for the four Peoples Gas cleanup sites located on the Near North Side, one of 77 well-defined community areas of Chicago. The sites are found near Goose Island, which is located in the North Branch of the Chicago River. This CIP provides background information on the sites, describes activities EPA will perform to keep the public and local officials informed about progress at the sites, and encourages community involvement during cleanup of the sites. This CIP also lists the concerns of nearby residents and local officials regarding the sites and ways for EPA to address those concerns. The information in this CIP is based primarily on discussions with residents and local officials that occurred April 1-2, 2009. Site background EPA has entered into an agreement with Peoples Gas Company to oversee the company’s investigation of 11 former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites in Chicago. Peoples Gas will investigate the extent and nature of contamination at each site, and then evaluate potential cleanup options. In consultation with Illinois EPA, the City of Chicago and area residents, EPA will make the final cleanup determinations. All of the properties covered by the agreement are relatively close to the Chicago River, which was a transportation route when the MGPs operated. These facilities produced gas from coal from the mid-19th through the mid-20th centuries.
