| City
OF Chicago Streetscape Guidelines, Chicago |
 |
| DLK The City of Chicago refurbishes
miles of streetscape every year as part of its ongoing effort to
improve the pedestrian environments in the City. In 2003, Hayden
Bulin Larson completed a study for the Chicago Department of Transportation
(CDOT) to standardize the improvements and publish a “Streetscape
Guidelines” document for use throughout the City. This study and
the resulting 100+ page document involved establishing standards
for streetscape design and construction for CDOT. This involved
evaluating and establishing design standards for various categories
of city streets and sidewalks, establishment of standards for site
furniture, paving, decorative features and landscaping. In addition,
the process for developing a new streetscape was outlined for use
by the City’s Aldermen and community groups. |
