Interface Studio was asked by the Wicker Park Bucktown Special Service Area (SSA) to create a master plan for 13 miles of street frontage along 6 separate commercial corridors in Chicagos Wicker Park and Bucktown neighborhoods.
nterface Studio reached out to residents, business owners, City officials and developers to create a consensus-driven vision for the areas commercial corridors. We organized a community open house, transforming a vacant store into a three-week exhibition to promote the planning process, the plan and the community. The open house was designed to make the public engagement fun and included video story-telling, a photo suggestion booth, a budgeting game, a really large interactive map and a storefront video installation to activate the street at night. The resulting plan developed ideas for each of the six, distinct commercial streets with an emphasis on making the community more walkable and bikeable; buying local; reinforcing the arts; creating new civic space; and making the community the greenest in Chicago.
