The officials behind the redevelopment of Lathrop Homes are showing off their hard work, revealing a bird’s-eye view of what they have in mind for massive project.
The Lathrop Community Partners—a five-part design team behind the project—submitted plans with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development detailing just 1,208 units at Lathrop.
But now the latest documents show additional features will be introduced, including bike lanes, new retail buildings down Schubert Avenue and a new park along the Chicago River to attract the public. That’s in addition to a beefed-up median on Diversey Parkway for pedestrians and new buildings framing the Diversey, Damen and Clybourn intersection.
