Infrastructure

Project Description

The public infrastructure scope will include the construction of new roads, the reconstruction of existing roads, and additional roadway improvements. This will include new traffic signals, modifications to existing traffic signals and all associated streetscape and landscaping. In addition to road work, new dry and wet utilities will be installed to serve the future development sites and a new retaining wall will be constructed along the adjacent Metra tracks.

GRIT has committed to at least 50% Chicago residency from the project's workforce, 30% MBE participation, 10% WBE participation, and aims to achieve 65% minority-led business participation. Infrastructure work has begun in Summer 2023, with completion expected in late 2025.
