GRAND AVE IMPROVEMENT, SECTION VII

The Grand Avenue Improvements – Section VII project focused on revitalizing the corridor between North Damen Avenue and North Ogden Avenue through roadway reconstruction, pedestrian safety enhancements, and upgraded streetscape infrastructure. Completed in coordination with the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), the project improved mobility and accessibility along a heavily traveled urban corridor serving residential, commercial, and mixed-use areas. Project improvements included full-width roadway resurfacing, new concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter replacement, ADA-compliant ramps, upgraded pavement markings, traffic signal improvements, decorative lighting, and enhanced crosswalks. Additional streetscape elements such as landscaped parkways, street trees, and site furnishings were incorporated to improve the pedestrian experience and strengthen the visual character of the corridor while supporting safer and more efficient traffic flow.
