Bartlett, RTA partner on downtown redevelopment
The Regional Transportation Authority reported that it is pleased to be providing the majority of funding for the village of Bartlett's recently approved downtown transit-oriented development plan for the area surrounding the Metra station.
Funding for the $125,000 plan is made up of $100,000 from the RTA's Community Planning program and $25,000 from the village.
The plan recommends the revitalization of older downtown retail properties to enhance the appeal of existing businesses, improve traffic and pedestrian movement by re-establishing a street grid south of the railroad tracks, and focusing on new housing development downtown to fuel commercial growth.
