Purpose of the Study
The overall purpose of this corridor study is to create a set of land use, development, and policy guidelines that will promote and influence development along the Lake Street Corridor. View the 2040 Plan. This study also strove to advance the following four core tenets of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning's (CMAP):

- Human Capital
- Livable Communities
- Regional Mobility
This corridor was broken down into seven sub-categories extending from the I-355/I-290 Interchange to the County Farm Road/Lake Street intersection. Each sub-planning area represents a cluster of unincorporated areas along the corridor and embodies the distinct characteristics that emphasize the diverse conditions, issues, and opportunities throughout the Study Area.
