The plaza is planned for Cuyler at Milwaukee west to the alley entrance. To accommodate residents, businesses, and other people accessing Six Corners, Cuyler will be converted into a two-way street with a cul-de-sac at the eastern end. Additionally, we are working with CDOT to determine whether or not converting the block of 4000 N LaPorte Ave into a two-way street would improve traffic flow.

Residents and business owners of this community have expressed much interest in a gathering space similar to that of Giddings Plaza in Lincoln Square. The people plaza on Cuyler will provide people the opportunity to have this open space that they can utilize. The plaza would help activate a street in a way that would attract people to the shopping district and bring great economic benefits to the already existing businesses and encourage more development along Milwaukee Ave.

Plans for the plaza are still in the preliminary stages. As the process begins Six Corners Association is planning to engage the community as much as possible to make sure that the design of the plaza is informed by what community members want. We will host a community meeting in the coming months to explain to people the project, gather their feedback, and address or take into consideration any concerns that they have.
