Lincoln Square Master Plan To Be Revealed At Open House

CHICAGO — After months of community outreach and input, the Lincoln Square Neighborhood Improvement Program (SSA #21) will reveal master plan concepts for the neighborhood at an open house on May 30. The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Old Town School of Music's Szold Hall, 4545 N. Lincoln Avenue.

The Lincoln Square Neighborhood Improvement Program is overseen by the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce.

The plan will guide the organization’s public investments and its collaborative efforts with the Chicago Department of Transportation, the Chicago Transit Authority and the 40th and 47th Wards, the chamber said. The master plan will also produce guidelines for private developments in the area.

Comments on the project’s website indicate that the Western CTA Station (Brown Line – Western and Leland) and Lincoln Avenue north of Lawrence Avenue are areas particularly ripe for improvement.

The following organizations will be represented at the event:

• Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce
• Greater Rockwell Organization
• Gross Park Advisory Council
• Heart of Lincoln Square Neighbors Association
• Winnemac Park Neighbors
