Central Harlem Avenue Corridor Study
Sam Schwartz was retained to assist on this project that touches 14 different municipalities in the Chicagoland area. The Central Harlem Avenue Corridor Study is an initiative to prepare the ten-mile Central Harlem Avenue Corridor for future rapid transit service. This project seeks to enhance access to public transit through coordinated land use and transportation strategies. The Sam Schwartz team is addressing pedestrian infrastructure deficiencies, identifying economic development opportunities, and designing bus priority treatments for the corridor’s constrained right of way. The effort aims to reach consensus among various jurisdictions and municipal stakeholders, and sets the corridor on a path towards future Pulse rapid service.
