31st Street Corridor Transportation Plan
In early 2025, the Village of La Grange Park was awarded $180,000 in federal funding through the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Statewide Planning and Research (SPR) Grant Program to support the development of a comprehensive transportation and streetscape plan for the 31st Street corridor. The planning area includes 31st Street from La Grange Road to Maple Avenue and Barnsdale Road from 31st Street to just north of 26th Street. The plan will evaluate existing transportation conditions, identify safety and operational improvements, and provide implementation strategies aligned with regional planning goals. It will also incorporate streetscape improvement concepts to enhance the corridor’s visual character, walkability, and identity—consistent with the Village’s Branding and Identity Plan.
