The 26th and Ridgeland Access to Transit project boundary goes east down 26th Street from Harlem Avenue on the west to South Lombard Avenue on the east and southbound down Ridgeland Avenue from 26th Street on the north to 34th Street.
The City of Berwyn has been awarded funds for improvements to the 26th Street and Ridgeland Avenue corridors. These corridors provide direct access to several transit options in addition to local schools, parks, business areas, churches, and municipal buildings. The project will include improved sidewalks, enhanced roadway and pedestrian lighting, streetscaping, bump-outs at intersections that accommodate heavy pedestrian traffic and pedestrian-activated flashing beacons or lighted crosswalks. This project aligns with the City of Berwyn Active Transportation and Comprehensive Plans as well as its adopted Complete Streets Policy which encourage active transportation modes and streetscape improvements.
