Project Description
The Blue Island streetscape links the existing Benito Juarez Academy to the 18^th  Street commercial corridor. The block between 18^th Street and 19^th Street was improved by CDOT in 2000. The 19th Street to 21st Street stretch of Blue Island is considered an important part of the greater Pilsen community vision to improve the pedestrian and neighborhood experience.

Project improvements include extensive sidewalks widening with pavers, curb and gutter and catch basin relocation/replacement, ADA accessibility improvements, roadway narrowing and parking lane reconfiguration for traffic calming, street lighting, community identifiers, site furniture, and landscaping.

Status
Design complete.
Construction underway.
