PROJECT CONTEXT

The study area is located along Ogden Avenue, also known as Route 66, stretching the entire limits of Berwyn. This corridor has a long history within Berwyn and Ogden Avenue is a main corridor within Berwyn, with the majority of land use being commercial. Berwyn’s Development Corporation recognizes Route 66/Ogden Avenue as one of its four districts, which also includes Roosevelt Avenue, Cermak Road, and The Depot District. A variety of businesses occupy space along Ogden Avenue, including auto related businesses, restaurants, retail and local businesses. 

PROJECT SITE LOCATION - OGDEN AVE from HARLEM AVE to Lombard ave

Existing Site Conditions

 The City is coordinating several major improvements to be designed and constructed during the same time to minimize the duration of impacts to businesses and motorists and to maximize the use of available grant funds. Berwyn recognizes the balance between making infrastructure improvements and ensuring businesses thrive. Therefore, the goal is to make improvements that will upgrade the corridor without compromising mobility or functioning businesses.
