Building off the work of the Lakeview Area Master Plan, site design group, ltd. led the placemaking plan for pedestrian improvements to Lincoln Avenue between Diversey and Belmont. The improvements focused on responding to the community’s priorities for redevelopment and worked toward solving the primary issues of outdated street furnishings, large vacant parkway sidewalks, and inconsistent pavement treatments. Design elements included custom seating, planting, and specialty paving treatments to accommodate flexible programs within the public right-of-way.
