introduction
The Village of Oak Park, City of Berwyn, and Town of Cicero
have joined together to revitalize a key 1.25-mile segment of
Roosevelt Road between Austin Boulevard and Harlem Avenue. The
multi-jurisdictional effort is expected to result in
development of a streetscape design plan and new zoning
regulations, both of which are intended to improve the
appearance, accessibility and function of the corridor.
The project officially began on April 9, 2008 when the consultant
team conducted an initial tour of the corridor accompanied by
members of the Roosevelt Road Advisory Committee and representatives
from the three municipalities. The consultants are expected to
complete the streetscape design plan in late fall of 2008, with the
new zoning regulations to follow shortly thereafter.

Terra Engineering/The Lakota Group Selected for
Next Phase of Streetscape Work
In late 2008,
following the completion of the Preliminary Streetscape Plan,
Oak Park, Berwyn, and Cicero solicited proposals from
engineering firms for preparing construction documents for the
streetscape work. The team of Terra Engineering and The Lakota
Group was selected for this next phase of work. Terra and
Lakota have begun surveying the corridor, creating base maps,
and coordinating with the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT). Through the months of April and May
2009, the design team will work with the Roosevelt Road
Advisory Committee (RRAC) to finalize the streetscape
designs. The team will have construction documents ready for
submittal to IDOT this summer.
