South La Grange Road Corridor Plan Existing Conditions Report

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.
