DRAFT CALUMET CITY SUBAREA PLAN NOW AVAILABLE!

The draft Calumet City Subarea Plan is now available on the project website under Documents!

Over the past year and a half, Calumet City has partnered with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) to create a community plan that includes the 1st and 5th wards. The goals of this plan are to:

• Make transportation better by improving sidewalks, bus routes, and bicycle lanes.
• Attract new businesses and keep existing ones on commercial streets like Pulaski Road, Burnham Avenue, and Wentworth Avenue.
• Improve local flooding and manage stormwater.

Thank you to all who were able to join us on Monday, March 18, to celebrate and provide feedback on the recently completed draft plan.

We still want to hear from you!

There is still time to review and offer input on the plan. Click the following links or visit the project website to take a short survey (English / Spanish) and share your thoughts on the ideas wall (English / Spanish).

What is next?

The plan will be brought to the City Council for official adoption. Once the plan is adopted, city staff can work toward achieving its goals by pursuing grants, finding partners, and moving project work forward.
