Loop Alliance Readies State Street Plan
Chicago Loop Alliance is producing a State Street Corridor Plan, to be released in fall 2020. Urban design and architecture firm Site Design Group was selected to create the plan, which will include recommendations on character, aesthetics and infrastructure; public space; transportation and mobility; connectivity; retail and business mix; and technology.
This is the Alliance’s first plan for State Street since 1987, when the organization called for the street to be reopened to automobile traffic after a stint as a bus and pedestrian mall.
“As we showed with our Economic Profile last year, everything about the Loop is changing rapidly—residential demographics, commercial real estate, mobility, etc.,” said the Alliance’s Kalindi Parikh.
To kick off the State Street Corridor Plan process, Site’s Ernie Wong will deliver the keynote presentation at the Alliance’s 2020 Annual Meeting, set for Feb. 20 at the Palmer House Hilton.
