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 North Cicero Avenue between West Irving Park Road and West Grand Avenue in Portage Park and Belmont Cragin. The study will determine recommendations for land use improvements along the 2.75-mile-long corridor that foster economic vitality, cohesion, safety and other local goals, based on input from community partners, business owners, residents and elected officials.

The study is conducted in partnership with with Alds. Jessie Fuentes (26th), Ruth Cruz (30th), Felix Cardona (31st), Gil Villegas (36th) and Jim Gardiner (45th).
