Butterfield Road Corridor Plan
Update
The project team recently completed the Butterfield Road corridor existing conditions report, which summarizes an analysis of existing conditions data and community outreach results to date. The report can be found here, and on the right hand side of your screen under Important Links.
We want to hear from you!
As the project moves into the plan drafting phase, please use the below survey tab to share your vision for the Butterfield Road corridor!
Project Overview
The Villages of Lombard, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, and DuPage County are working with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) on a collaborative effort to develop a Butterfield Road Corridor Plan that will focus on:
- Enhancing the corridor’s Pace bus service and making it easier to walk to bus stops.
- Improving roadway safety for cars, buses, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
- Enhancing multi-modal connections between the corridor and nearby parks and open space.
- Exploring future housing and commercial development opportunities.
Project Study Area
The Butterfield Road Corridor is a regional retail destination that encompasses the Yorktown Center, a large number of national retailers, as well as office, industrial and residential developments. The corridor is an economic driver for the surrounding Villages and DuPage County.
The project study area specifically focuses on a portion of Butterfield Road (IL-56), bounded by both sides of 22nd Street to the north, I-88 to the south, Kingery Highway (IL-83) to the east, and I-355 to the west.

Future Improvements: Interactive Mapping Tool
Use our interactive map to share concerns, ideas, and suggestions about specific locations along the Butterfield Road Corridor. Drop a pin on the map in the area of interest, then tell us your about your idea. Consider walkability, access to transit, safety, bikeability. How easy is it to get around by foot, bike, bus, or car? What businesses, stores, or restaurants should be added and where? What types of housing should be added along the corridor and where? Could bike connections to nearby open space amenities be improved?
