What's New in Tinley Park
Tinley Park Downtown Redevelopment:
The primary goals of Tinley Park's Downtown Redevelopment are to:
-
assure the long-term viability of the central business district;
-
secure the viability of adjacent residential neighborhoods; and,
-
provide a signature downtown as a community focal point.
Downtown is a major focal point for the Tinley Park community. As the soul of our community, it connects us with each other, to our heritage as a small farming community and to the larger metropolitan area. It exists at a physical scale which accommodate several modes of travel but emphasizes the character, walkability and accessibility of a small town center.
Recent improvements:
- A dedicated turn lane has been added from 173rd Place accessing southbound Harlem Avenue.
- Acquisition of property at 6643 173rd Street, needed for realignment of North Street and 67th.
- Installation of a temporary traffic signal on Oak Park Avenue at 175th.
- Addition of South Bound, East Bound and West Bound turn lanes on Oak Park Aveunue at 171st.
