Des Plaines Ave and 26th Street intersection

North Riverside Corridor Plan Survey 1

The Village of North Riverside, in partnership with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), is developing a Corridor Plan for 26th Street (between Desplaines Avenue and Harlem Avenue) and Desplaines Avenue (from Cermak Avenue south to 31st Street). This plan will explore opportunities to improve mobility, economic development, housing options, streetscape and environmental conditions along these corridors.

Your feedback will help identify priorities and shape recommendations for future improvements.

The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. Thank you for sharing your input!
