    Chapter 4: Central Area Planning Subdistricts Page 4-35 August 2009 South West Loop The South West Loop is bounded on the north by Congress Parkway, on the south by 16th Street, on the east by the South Branch of the Chicago River and on the west by the Dan Ryan Expressway. The South West Loop contains light industrial and back office/service operation uses, with significant new retail development along the Roosevelt Road corridor. Zoning in the subdistrict is committed to protecting the existing non-residential uses, and as of 2007 fewer than 1,200 people lived in the South West Loop, mak- ing it the least populated subdistrict in the Central Area.

Abstracts This study reflects the emerging emphasis on "transit-based development" - primarily residential development within easy walking or shuttle access to rail transit stations. This transit-based development differs from the more-chronicled transit "joint development. Rather than maximizing revenues, these development aim mainly at such goals as increasing ridership, reducing vehicle trips to the station, and increasing station atttractiveness and safety.

  • Mayor Emanuel's Record On
    MAYOR EMANUEL’S RECORD ON TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE Chicago’s rise was fueled by its place at the center of the nation’s transportation system – from its role as a nexus for highways and railways, to its proximity to Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River, to the role of its airports as hubs for business and personal travel. Mayor Emanuel believes that the City’s future depends on modern infrastructure. Through initiatives like Building a New Chicago, Retrofit Chicago, CTA modernization, the Broadband Challenge the Emanuel Administration will ensure that Chicago will remain at the center of the global economy. Today, Chicago’s transportation systems move millions of people and billions of dollars of freight annually. Chicagoans make more than 8.8 million trips a day on our roads, rails, bridges and trails. More than 39 million visitors a year walk our sidewalks, and drive and bike on our streets. The substantial investments that we make in our transportation network will ensure sustainable and reliable transport not only for the region, but the national economy as well. Whether it is renewing our parks or repairing our pipes, repaving our roads or rebuilding our rails, retrofitting our buildings or revitalizing our bridges, the City’s plans are comprehensive because our needs are comprehensive -- because no city in America relies on its infrastructure more than Chicago. While our infrastructure challenges are not unique, our resolve and determination to see them through is. In addition, today’s companies demand new forms of infrastructure. The administration has invested in modern transportation options, like improved public transit, protected bike lanes, and new bike sharing opportunities.
