Park Central Business District Plan: |
|
Lakota prepared a Master Plan for Oak Park's Central Business District, which included 25 recommendations to revitalize and redevelop the Village's Downtown.
The Plan addresses new development sites, building front/back design, block sizes, store access, pedestrian/vehicular circulation, a multi-modal transit center, parking, and links to an adjacent park.
Based on the Plan, the Village changed the area's traffic circulation; attracted a developer to a key
corner; worked with
Metra, the Chicago Transit Authority, and Pace to implement the transit center; and redeveloped a long retail block into smaller street segments with pocket parking and pedestrian connections to existing parking areas. Pedestrian activity has increased throughout Downtown and there are now few store vacancies.
Lakota’s team included DLK Architecture, S.B. Friedman and Company, and Metro Transportation Group. |
