The mission of the Land Use & Development Task Force is to address the land use, planning, preservation, traffic, transportation, zoning, & real estate development issues in the Streeterville community so as to ensure the desired balance between residential, commercial, institutional, retail, recreational and mix uses that currently exists in our neighborhood. The Task Force will strive to represent the whole community when addressing the issues outlined above and will encourage the following principles when issues are presented:

  • Green design & infrastructure
  • Create pedestrian friendly environment
  • Respect for the variety of uses & institutions in Streeterville

  • Preservation of neighborhood treasures: architectural, historic or natural made
  • Increase landscaped green & open space
