The Midtown Greenway Land Use and Development Plan sets policy direction for land use and development in the Midtown Greenway corridor for the next 10-20 years, with implications for private development and investment in the public realm. The Plan evaluates the long-term viability of existing land uses along the corridor. It provides guidance for future land uses along the Midtown Greenway, and proposes development guidelines for development intensity and form.
Active living communities make it easy for people to include physical activity in their daily lives.Walking to work, school, the store, or just for fun is safe and convenient. Bicyclists are respected, and roads are built for all forms of transportation, not just cars.

The Chicago Department of Transportation Bicycle Program web site contains a wealth of information on biking, bike facilities development, law enforcements, bike parking, and much more.
One of their premier documents is the Bike Lane Design Guide.
The manual is designed to assist transportation planners and engineers in selecting roadway design treatments to accommodate bicycles. This is the first attempt to provide comprehensive guidelines for this process. The recommendations are based on assumptions regarding policy goals and the types of bicyclists to be accommodated, the state of the practice, and professional judgement.
The goal of the St. Clair County Nonmotorized Guidelines is to develop an approach to accommodating bicycling, walking and other nonmotorized modes of travel on and across MDOT’s trunkline system in St. Clair County. While the focus is on MDOT ’s system in St. Clair County, this document has been prepared with the consideration that it may be utilized by other MDOT offices as well as county and local road agencies throughout the state.
