Worth TOD Plan
Description
This project assisted the Village in the creation of a TOD Plan for the area surrounding the Worth Metra station, as recommended by the CMAP Planning Priorities report completed for the Village. The Plan provides a focus on residential and commercial redevelopment near the Metra station along Depot Street, 111th Street and Harlem Avenue. The Plan recommendations create a vision for a Village in developing a downtown area. The desire is to facilitate and sustain future development that would expand opportunities for the residents and business owners, while also increasing ridership for Metra and Pace commuters.
Current Activities
The Worth TOD Plan was completed in August 2016 and adopted by the Village Board as an amendment to the Village Comprehensive Plan on December 6, 2016.
Six new townhomes on Crandall and 5 townhomes on 110th, all within two blocks of the Metra station, have been approved by the Village and constructed in 2018. A key opportunity parcel identified in the plan at 111th and Depot street has been redeveloped into new retail space.
The RTA will continue to monitor implementation activity and will provided assistance as needed.
