GREATER STONY ISLAND EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe South Shore Cultural Center. Bronzeville Children’s Museum. Rain-bow Beach. The Greater Stony Island Planning Area is home to many popular destinations to visit in Chicago. It is also home to 172,000 residents who live in a collection of distinct neigh-borhoods. The strategies and priority projects articulated in this Action Plan will help to make these neighbor-hoods even more vibrant.

The Greater Stony Island Planning Area is generally bounded by 67th Street, Lake Michigan, 103rd Street, and the Dan Ryan Expressway. It contains parts of eight wards, eleven neighbor-hoods, and eleven community areas. Residents enjoy 49 open spaces, send their children to 81 schools, and and are served by 18 transit stops through-out the Planning Area. Compared with Chicago’s 16 Planning Areas, Greater Stony Island has the third lowest industrial space vacancy rate. Its largest land uses are residential (54%) and available land (14%). At least three previous plans have been completed since 2000 in the area.

But the Greater Stony Island Planning Area is much more than facts and figures. This is where the Gary Comer Youth Center offers programming for children; where artists are turning old buildings into artistic beauty; and where Chicagoans throughout the far south side converge at 95th St to connect to downtown.

GUIDING STRATEGIESThis Action Plan contains Priority Projects that are either in progress or in development such that they can be reasonably completed within five years, with more projects to be added as the Action Plan continues to grow. These investments will be guided by the following strategies:

1. Guiding Strategy #1

2. Guiding Strategy #2

3. Guiding Strategy #3

CONCENTRATION AREASSmaller areas that pose particular challenges and offer significant oppor-tunities will be the subject of further careful planning and action in the coming months:

A. Concentration Area “A” from N Boundary Street to S Boundary Street, and from W Boundary Street to E Boundary Street

B. Concentration Area “B” from N Boundary Street to S Boundary Street, and from W Boundary Street to E Boundary Street

C. Concentration Area “C” from N Boundary Street to S Boundary Street, and from W Boundary Street to E Boundary Street

The City of Chicago’s Department of Planning and Development will contin-ue to work with aldermen, other City departments and sister agencies, com-munity leaders, investors, and – most importantly – the dedicated residents of Greater Calumet neighborhoods to improve this Action Plan over time.
