North Lakefront TOD Proposal ▪ Alderman Mary Ann Smith 48th Ward ▪ June 2007 Chicago’s 48th ward contains large parts of two of the densest and most transit dependent neighborhoods of Chicago – Edgewater and Uptown. Many residents commute into the central area to work, and travel throughout the region for shopping, errands, entertainment, schooling and so on. Edgewater also sits at the nexus of north and northwest commuting patterns from feeder streets onto the LSD: a key arterial feeding the downtown. Consequently, traffic congestion is horrid at least twice a day. With this in mind, it is essential that we develop viable and sustainable transportation solutions for the Ward’s residents and businesses. The Multi-Modal Transportation Center concept is a first step towards this goal. North Lakefront TOD Proposal ▪ Background ▪ June 2007 1. To create a sustainable neighborhood transportation network. 2. To Reduce CO2 emissions; 3. To Reduce congestion; 4. To build community connections and networks; 5.
