Elmhurst Presents Subarea Plans

ELMHURST, IL — The City of Elmhurst will present the draft “Elmhurst Subarea Plans,” which will be available for review and comment at City Hall, 209 N. York St., between 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 2. The city said staff and members of the consultant team from Houseal Lavigne Associates will also be available to answer questions and receive comments.

According to the city, the subarea plans will help direct improvements and investment for five key areas of the community. The plans will include recommendations for land use, transportation, infrastructure, character, and sense of place for each district.

The areas of focus are:

• Lake Street, west of York Street;
• The intersection of North Avenue and Route 83;
• The block northwest of the intersection of First and York streets;
• The blocks surrounding the intersection of York and Vallette streets; and
• The district bounded by Butterfield Road, Roosevelt Road, and York Street.

The city the initial planning phases for the plan began in April 2017, with anticipated project completion this year. The subarea plans are community-driven, and their vision and policy recommendations are grounded in extensive community outreach.

The final Elmhurst Subarea Plans will be approved by the Elmhurst Zoning and Planning Commission and the City Council.
