LAKEVIEW ROSCOE VILLAGE UNVEILS MASTER PLAN
On September 7th, 2023 The Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with SSA 27 and Friends of Lakeview, unveiled the 2023 Master Plan, a transformative roadmap aimed at fostering a more vibrant and resilient neighborhood, which will unfold over the next 7-10 years. This visionary initiative is a result of the collective efforts and dedication of the Lakeview and Roscoe Village communities. Rooted in collaboration and community engagement, this Master Plan builds upon the foundation laid by a previous plan, developed 12 years ago, to guide the growth and development of these unique Chicago neighborhoods.
OUR MASTER PLAN
Through numerous efforts of Community Engagement from pop-up events and surveys, we have developed an approach to implement our Master Plan over the next 7-10 years.
The input from the community and stakeholders was examined through three lenses: The Public Realm, Events & Programming, and Branding & Identity. Combining these perspectives throughout the planning process led to the development of a Master Plan purpose statement to guide the recommendations and implementation strategy of the Lakeview Roscoe Village Master Plan: Celebrate unique community identity. Strengthen cohesion and unity. Develop a warm, peaceful, and playful home to live, work, and play.
The Master Plan seeks to solidify individual neighborhood branding and identity while enhancing connectivity between each neighborhood. Creating a vibrant and equitable community requires proactive strategic planning to develop streets, public spaces, and programming crafted first and foremost for people, rooted in the places they love and call home. The Lakeview Roscoe Village Master Plan lays out a strategy for future investment in order to foster livability, celebrate uniqueness, and strengthen unity within these communities.
