Building Connections with Business Owners

The students will begin their outreach efforts from the 35th/Archer Orange Line El station on Memorial Day weekend. They will be connecting with business owners along the stretch of West 35th Street between South Leavitt Street and South Ashland Avenue. By working directly with business owners, the students hope to gain insights into what can be done to encourage building rehabilitation and support for mom-and-pop businesses.

Streetscaping and Inventory

As part of their focus on West 35th Street, the students will also be conducting an inventory of building stock and making recommendations for streetscaping. By providing policy recommendations, they hope to encourage the revitalization of the area and support for local businesses.

A Long-Term Plan

The efforts of the Urban Planning students are part of a larger, long-term plan to revitalize the Central Manufacturing District and the surrounding areas. The focus on West 35th Street is a crucial part of this plan, as it is a major commercial corridor that has the potential to bring economic growth to the area.

Collaborative Effort

The revitalization of West 35th Street and the Central Manufacturing District is a collaborative effort between local residents, businesses, and the city of Chicago. The involvement of students from the University of Illinois Chicago is just one example of the community coming together to support the revitalization efforts. By working together, the hope is that the area can become a thriving hub for commerce and culture, benefiting everyone in the community.

With the dedication of the Urban Planning students and the support of the community, the revitalization of West 35th Street is well underway. By focusing on the needs of local businesses and the community at large, the hope is that this area of Chicago will continue to grow and thrive for years to come.
