Kimball Station Area Curbside Management and Mobility Study

The RTA provided technical assistance to Chicago's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) and the Albany Park community to pinpoint new and expanded pedestrian and shared space amenities along Kimball and Lawrence Avenues as well as introduce new micro-mobility infrastructure and device parking to advance first and last mile connectivity near the Kimball Brown Line station. New public amenities recommended in the plan included specific locations for improved crosswalks, designated shared bike parking areas, wall murals along the exterior of the Kimball CTA station, a plaza area near the Kimball station, and dedicated bus priority zones for transfer stops of CTA bus routes 81 and 82. The RTA and DPD worked alongside the North River Commission, the CTA and others in Albany Park to finalize short-term, tactical recommendations.
