STONY ISLAND AVENUE HISTORYAND IDENTITY

Stony Island Avenue is a major north/south thoroughfare

through the southern area of Chicago, connecting several

south side neighborhoods (e.g. South Shore, Highlands,

Woodlawn, Grand Crossing, Avalon Park, Stony Island

Park and South Chicago) to the downtown and lakefront

via connections to Lake Shore Drive. Stony Island Avenue

starts at E. 56th Street at the northern edge of Jackson

Park and extends southward beyond Interstate 94 with the

ramps for Interstate 90/Chicago Skyway located at the

approximate midpoint. This thoroughfare serves as the

main commercial corridor for several south side and south

lakefront neighborhoods.

Historic maps from as early as 1890 show a 200 foot right-

of-way that eventually became Stony Island Avenue. Thearea was annexed to Chicago in 1889 as part of Hyde Park

Township. Once a rural landscape on the outskirts of the

City, major commercial and residential development began

to occur along Stony Island Avenue during and after the

Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893. Jackson Park was

the site of the Worlds Columbian Exposition and visitors

could take the new L to a stop on Stony Island Avenue

which served as the western boundary of the park. One

of the Exposition sites is now the home of the Museum of

Science and Industry, with the University of Chicago located

just west of Stony Island Avenue and Jackson Park.

Photographs from the Chicago Transit Authority Archives

show that Stony Islands wide right-of-way once

accommodated a commuter rail line down the center of

the right-of-way in a wide green space. The removal of

the rail lines left the current conditions of a wide median

located in the middle of the street.

In the 1946 Comprehensive Plan, Stony Island Avenue is

shown as a future Expressway south of Jackson Park. The

wide right-of-way was able to accommodate the current

roadway, consisting of a wide landscaped median as well

as lanes that ranged in number from a total of 4 to 9, with

the maximum number of lanes in one direction being 5.

The median experience along Stony Island Avenue defines

a corridor gateway into Chicago for drivers and pedestrians

alike.

BUILDING

Mosque Maryam, located between E. 73rd Street and

E. 74th Street is the most visually prominent facility

along Stony Island Avenue in the focus area. Mosque

Maryam has served as the headquarters and National

Center for the Nation of Islam since 1972. Adjacent

to the mosque is Muhammad University of Islam, an

educational institute for boys and girls from pre-

school through 12th grade.

The famous Moo and Oink grocery store is located

south of E. 71st Street. In 1976 the Calumet Meat

Company assumed the name and added grocery items

to the store.

Guaranty Bank and Trust Building located between E.

67th Street and E. 68th Street at 6760 S. Stony Island

Avenue, it is one of the neo-classical neighborhood

banks that were half-scale versions of their prestigious

downtown counterparts with 30-foot tall Doric columns

capped with an impressively detailed entablature.

Closed a quarter century ago, the now vacant building

occupies a prime corner on the edge of Jackson Park.

SUB-AREA 2 - E. 67TH STREET TO E. 76THPLACE

This sub-area encompasses the greater part of the Stony

Island Avenue streetscape. The majority of the recent

development is located in this sub-area as well as the

existing landmark architectural influences. Approximately

25% of the property in this sub-area is vacant land or vacant

structures.

The Jackson Park Hospital and Clinic presents blank walls

to the street and an entire block of parking serves the Auto

Zone south of E. 76th Street. The existing land uses in this

area consist of primarily commercial, institutional and

religious uses, with residential uses located in the northern

portion of the sub-area.

LANDSCAPED MEDIAN

The landscaped medians provide the most significant positive

visual impact for the Stony Island Avenue streetscape.

Though improvements to the landscaped medians are not

a primary focus for this Master Plan, the existence of the

medians can not be overlooked. The wide landscaped

medians soften the visual affect of the multiple lanes ofpavement of Stony Island Avenue, as well as provide refuge

for pedestrians that are crossing Stony Island Avenue.

TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAGE

There are several types of traffic control signage along

Stony Island Avenue that include street name sign blades

and regulatory signage (i.e. speed limit sign, stop sign, no

parking sign, etc.). A large overhead sign structure directs

local and through traffic on southbound Stony Island Avenue

as well as indicating access to the ramps for the ChicagoSkyway. The overhead signs are more typically found on

area expressways rather than major arterials such as Stony

Island Avenue and seem out of scale for the corridor.

ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

While the roadway pavement is in generally g

there are numerous areas along Stony I

where the pavement has deteriorated and t

stormwater runoff can be an issue.

B i c y c l e s

There are several existing and proposed bicycle facilities

that cross Stony Island Avenue. The Stony Island Avenue

provides an opportunity to expand on the existing bicycle

network by providing a north-south link to these bicycle

facilities, see Figure III-6.

NEAR TERM IMPROVEMENTS

Dedicated Bicycle Lane

With minor adjustments to the current vehicular travel

lanes, 6 directional bike lanes can be constructed for

northbound and southbound travel. The bike lanes would

typically be buffered from the travel lane with a 3 painted

buffer area and would be located adjacent to the current

parking lane (on-street parking lanes, 7 wide, wouldremain where they currently exist).

Driveway Delineation

There are numerous driveways along Stony Island Avenue

that can cause potential conflict areas between bicycles

and motorists. Pavement changes can occur across the

bike lanes at driveways as a visual cue to the bicyclist to

be aware of vehicles crossing their path.

Implementation of the ultimate Long Term improvement

is based upon the timing of future redevelopment of the

parcels at the northwest corner of Stony Island Avenue and

South Chicago Avenue.

1. Assuming redevelopment will occur in the mid to

long term the southbound frontage road is proposed

to be eliminated and replaced with a meandering

pedestrian path. The area adjacent to the path could

be developed as a linear park which could be designed

to include a farmers market or sculpture garden.

2. The meandering design of the path is intended to

discourage use by bicyclists. Southbound bicyclist

would be accommodated on a proposed on street bike

route along E. 77th Street and through the redeveloped

area along S. Harper Avenue.

S. Chicago Avenue at or near S. Harper Avenue when

the parcels are redeveloped. This new signalized

intersection should be designed to accommodate

southbound bicyclist as they would be turning onto

the bike lanes along South Chicago Avenue.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION

As identified in the Master Plan, Stony Island Avenue

presents some unique issues due to its size and function

that control streetscape options that are implementable

for the roadway. Therefore as the Master Plan evaluates

implementation of streetscape enhancements for

Stony Island Avenue, Near Term improvements focus on

recommendations maintaining the existing curb alignmentand sidewalk areas. Modifications to the location of the

curb to widen the sidewalks for streetscape improvements

and reduce the amount of roadway pavement are perceived

as the Long Term improvements. Modifications to the

roadway pavement width or reduction in traffic lanes will

require a significant traffic analysis of the corridor to fully

understand the implications of such improvements.

Phasing for many of the proposed streetscape improvements

along the corridor will primarily be defined by redevelopment

interests and activities. However, improvements such asdecorative street lights can not reasonably be installed

with development on a parcel by parcel basis, unless the

proposed property incorporates a block or several blocks.

Typical streetscape element improvements associated

with redevelopment can address sidewalk pavement,

street trees, driveway improvements as well as provide for

the required landscape buffers that would be located on

private property as required by the Chicagos Landscape

Ordinance.

relationship of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles within the

proposed improvements.

each of the three subareas

applicable, have been identified as Near and/or Long
