About the Study

Study Purpose

This study is an opportunity to reimagine Ogden Avenue as a multimodal transportation corridor, as a hub for community activity, a gateway to the Village for visitors, and as a catalyst for neighborhood economic development. The project team will facilitate a process that both builds upon previous efforts and engages community members on the process moving forward to become active participants in determining how to continue energizing Ogden Avenue to reflect the community and its needs.

Study Benefits

• Beautification/Placemaking

  • The study will provide streestscape improvements (such as pavers, decorative crosswalks, benches, landscaping, new lighting, light pole banners, and gateways) that bolster a sense of place and increases curb appeal. This will make Ogden a gateway to the Village that welcomes visitors.

• Increased Safety:

• The redesign will increase safety for all roadway users, including pedestrians and bicyclists by improving sidewalk connectivity and crossings.

• Lighting:

• Evaluate options for decorative lighting that could improve both the safety and aesthetics of the corridor.

• Access Management:

• Standardize parking and access needs within the public right-of-way.

• Aging Infrastructure:

• This study will result in a more attractive corridor, with a better quality road and new sewer and water infrastructure.
