An information presentation on the Altenheim Framework Plan. The Altenheim Framework plan sets the foundation for a recreational trail and string of open spaces on a two-mile section of elevated rail line on Chicago’s West Side in the communities of North Lawndale, East Garfield Park and West Garfield Park. It is grounded in a year-long effort to engage residents and stakeholders through in-person and virtual meetings and an online survey. In addition to planning for the future trail and related open spaces, the plan identifies redevelopment opportunities in six unique focus areas surrounding the rail line and proposes concept plans. The plan also addresses potential impacts on the surrounding community with a section devoted to equitable investment that makes recommendations for resident retention, local economic growth and anti-displacement strategies. This presentation is for informational purposes with the goal of adoption at a future Plan Commission hearing.
