Teska Associates, Inc. and Business Districts, Inc are currently working with the Southwest Suburban Mayors and Managers Association to improve the visual appearance and economic vitality of the Harlem Avenue corridor. This commercial corridor stretches for approximately 15 miles between Interstate 80 and 65th Street and passes through eleven communities. Teska has been developing streetscape improvement concepts, which unify the visual impact of the roadway and encourage each community to express their own identity along the corridor.
The corridor has been organized into zones, which emphasize Heritage Crossings, Community Gateways, Community Destinations, and Corridor Connectivity. Design themes have been developed for each zone. Streetscape components include signage, lighting, paving, barrier walls & rails, embankment plantings, landscape screening, parking lot plantings, and ornamental plantings.
