The Cicero Avenue Land Use Study is underway to help create a vision for future land uses on Cicero Avenue on the Northwest Side.

Led by the Department of Planning and Development, the study will examine the existing conditions along the Cicero Avenue corridor and determine recommendations for land use improvements that foster economic vitality, cohesion, safety and other local goals, based on input from community partners, business owners, residents and elected officials.

Encompassing 2.75 miles, the study area includes portions of the Portage Park and Belmont Cragin community areas. Research is being conducted in partnership with Alds. Jessie Fuentes (26th), Ruth Cruz (30th), Gil Villegas (36th) and Jim Gardiner (45th).

The Cicero Avenue Land Use Study will include multiple opportunities for community members to share ideas and make their voice heard.

In June 2025, an online survey was launched in English and Spanish for community members to share their thoughts regarding the existing conditions within the study area and their goals for the future of Cicero Avenue:
