The City of Elmhurst is excited to present the draft “Elmhurst Subarea Plans”, which will be available for review and comment at City Hall, 209 N. York Street, between 5-7pm on Wednesday, May 2, 2018.  City staff and members of the consultant team from Houseal Lavigne Associates will also be available to answer questions and receive your comments.  

The Elmhurst subarea plans will help direct improvements and investment for five key areas of the community. The vision for these areas will have a direct impact guiding decision-making in the future.  The plans will include recommendations for land use, transportation, infrastructure, character, and sense of place for each district.  

The areas of focus are:  
• Lake Street, west of York Street;  
• The intersection of North Avenue and Route 83;  
• The block northwest of the intersection of First and York streets;  
• The blocks surrounding the intersection of York and Vallette streets; and  
• The district bounded by Butterfield Road, Roosevelt Road, and York Street.  

The initial planning phases began in April 2017, with anticipated project completion this year. The subarea plans are community-driven, and their vision and policy recommendations are grounded in extensive community outreach. The final Elmhurst Subarea Plans will be approved by the Elmhurst Zoning and Planning Commission and City Council.
