In an effort to improve the parking and transportation conditions in the area to better support local businesses and residents, the Wicker Park Bucktown Special Services Area #33 partnered with CMAP and the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) to review existing conditions and provide strategic recommendations for parking management. Parking management can benefit everyone — even people who don’t drive. Good parking management balances the needs of drivers, businesses, and their customers with overall transportation efficiency and community impact.
