2019 Plan
The Plan will respond to the evolving community by forging a roadmap for the future that focuses on key public realm elements such as:
Elevate State will be the Chicago Loop Alliance’s first plan for State Street since 1987, when the organization called for the street to be reopened to automobile traffic after a stint as a bus and pedestrian mall.
We need your help! The planning process for Elevate State will prioritize community engagement as a key part of the process. To make Elevate State successful, we need your input! Learn how to get involved below. Please note the community workshops are currently postponed until further notice.
