Stretching for nearly 2-1/2 miles and comprising 36 separate medians, the project extended from McCormick Boulevard to Latrobe Avenue in the central part of Skokie.
The existing medians were planted with turf and hackberry trees. The trees ranged in sizes from 3” to 12” caliper and were retained in the final design of the medians.

This project including the following:

Preservation of all existing trees and removal of all turf from the medians.

Decorative pavers were used in the narrow median segments and nosings.

New concrete carriagewalks on both sides of the planted median to help protect the plantings.

21 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs and groundcovers to create an undulating pattern of color, variety and all-season interest. More than 50,000 plant units were incorporated into the plantings.
