South La Grange Road Corridor Plan

As part of the process to develop a corridor plan for South La Grange Road, the La Grange community is invited to participate in this web-based visioning survey to share opinions on potential strategies to achieve the goal of a safe, accessible, and thriving corridor. The questions are organized into the following topics: (1) Corridor Access and Safety; (2) Corridor Vitality; (3) Infrastructure; and (4) Community Character. Community feedback will help the Village of La Grange and its partner CMAP develop recommendations for inclusion in the South La Grange Road Corridor Plan, which will be prepared over the coming weeks and shared with the community later this spring. The survey will be available until Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

Thank you for your time.

Take the Corridor Study: Visioning Survey

The South La Grange Road Corridor Market Study takes a close look at how the corridor is doing today and what opportunities exist to strengthen it in the future. The study reviews the types of businesses currently along the corridor, how people are using the area, and what kinds of services or amenities the community may want to see added over time. It also looks at local demographics, and the overall health of the business environment.

The Village of La Grange continues to work with CMAP to revitalize one of the community’s most important gateways: South La Grange Road between 47th Street and East Plainfield Road. Building on the recently adopted La Grange Forward Comprehensive Plan, the South La Grange Road Corridor Plan is a focused effort to improve transportation, guide redevelopment, strengthen the local economy, and enhance quality of life along the corridor.

The newly completed Existing Conditions Report provides a detailed look at current land use, business activity, and mobility along the corridor. It identifies opportunities for infill and context-sensitive redevelopment, notes higher-than-average retail vacancies, and highlights the challenges posed by heavy traffic volumes and limited pedestrian crossings. This report will inform the next steps of the planning process, including a market study, development of key recommendations, and a final corridor plan that reflects both technical analysis and community input.
