Transit Oriented Development

The agency recently issued a request for proposals for the CTA-owned site at 2525 N. Kedzie Blvd.

The CTA said the land near the Red and Purple Lines could be turned into transit-oriented developments.

The meeting originally set for Wednesday has been canceled due to the Cubs game.

The development, which will be completed next year, will also feature five floors of apartments.

"We need apartments," said Ald. Ameya Pawar, whose 47th ward has lost 4,000 rental units since 2000.

Upcoming meetings will seek community input on transit-oriented development opportunities. 

The developments are being approved with the caveat that renters can't have zoned permit parking.

The plan will cost $125,000 and include multiple public meetings, officials said.

The future of the building's facade is still in question.

Neighbors object to the building's size and lack of parking. Pawar said the ward needs more apartments.

The number of large-scale developments grows again as 95 new units are proposed for Logan Square.

The Lincoln Centre development seeks to revitalize Lincoln Avenue.

Moreno declined to postpone Thursday's city hearing despite 900+ petition signatures urging a slow down.
