Berwyn TOD Zoning Code Update
The RTA is assisting the City of Berwyn to make transit-supportive amendments to the zoning regulations along the Harlem Avenue corridor from Roosevelt Road to Pershing Road. The result will include code revisions that foster a pedestrian-friendly development style along the corridor, preparing it for future Pace Pulse service. Revising the code along Harlem Avenue is a recommendation for the City in the Central Harlem Avenue Corridor Study.
Work on this project began in 2023 with stakeholder interviews and an elected/appointed officials roundtable discussion in June with the Berwyn Committee of the Whole. The project team has completed community engagement activities and developed draft recommendations for City staff review. Following a workshop with the Committee of the Whole in June 2024, the project team created draft amendments and refined them following review by RTA staff and City staff. Currently, the project team has finalized the zoning amendments and is working with City staff to schedule meetings with the Zoning, Planning, and Development Commission and the City Council for adoption of the amendments.
