VILLAGE OF BEDFORD PARK ILLINOIS “HOW WE BEGAN” The Village of Bedford Park was incorporated as a municipality in June of 1940, with its boundaries including not only the vast acreage housing the Argo Plant of Corn Products Refining Company and adjacent industrial properties, but also the 65th Street manufacturing area of the Clearing Industrial District. The history of Corn Products can be traced back to the winter of 1907 and 1908, when the company first sent representatives into the area to investigate a site for its new plant. To accommodate the employees of the newly developed Corn Products Company a housing project was developed which was named for the first president of the company, Mr. E.T. Bedford, and the community began in 1919. The year 1924 saw the formation of the Bedford Park improvement club. Under the guidance of this pioneer citizen organization, the community grew and developed into a highly regarded area. The capable administration of civic affairs by its citizens was a prime factor in the growth and development, which in later years led to its prominent position as an ideal residential community. The history of the Clearing Industrial District can be traced back as far as 1890, when Mr. A.B. Stickney, then president of the Chicago-Great Western Railway started making plans to meet the growing problem of the interchange of freight cars between the railroads in Chicago. He planned to acquire a tract of land three miles square, which was to be laid out with tracks, yards and industrial sites in such a way as to facilitate the interchange of freight. In 1912 the “Clearing Yards” were purchased by the newly organized Belt Railway, which became the joint property of the 13 principal railroads then terminating in Chicago. The industrial district has grown and prospered over the years and now includes not only the 65th Street district but also the Cicero Avenue Corridor, and an area referred to as the 73rd Street Industrial District. Business and industry gave birth to the Village of Bedford Park, and through dedication and perseverance as well as a vision for the future, both the residential and industrial sections of the village can continue to benefit by this unique residential industrial relationship.

  • 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].

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.
