The proposed 79th Street Corridor Plan, a collaborative effort by the Department of Planning and Development and the Regional Transportation Authority, aims to revitalize commercial activity along 79th Street between Ashland Avenue and Vincennes Avenue, and South Halsted Street from West 77th Street to West 83rd Street in Chicago. This plan, developed over two years with community input, establishes goals and strategies for future growth, focusing on optimizing land use for local businesses and affordable housing, improving multi-modal transportation, and driving economic development. Key elements include increasing density, facilitating walkability and new housing near transit, stabilizing the housing market with affordable options, and replacing vacant lots with viable commercial, residential, or open space uses. The plan also emphasizes strengthening the retail environment, attracting new retail, supporting existing businesses, improving access to transit, and enhancing pedestrian safety.
