So, apparently,...
A large part of the area around Milwaukee from somewhere north of Kedzie and Milwaukee (and Wrightwood and Logan) to I don't know, Belmont of farther north is infested with cockroaches...
Which spurred this plan...
Well, after finding of the historical building which are "worthy" of being kept for design qualities and current state of structural integrity (or if they can be repaired, perhaps in rare cases) to be preserved on Milwaukee...
Make either all of Milwaukee...
Or that and a "Radius" perpendicular to it, included some amount of lots on either side of the road, a place for a "new mini downtown"...
Why a place with roaches?
Well, here's the idea...
Zone for tall buildings, maybe twenty stories, or so...
And require them each to have a moat of a certain area...
So, these can help to create effectively "cock roach" deadzones...
You see...
It's turning a problem into a solution...
It's a convincing argument...
Now, if the areas fore and aft of the street are to be included...
(Oh yeah, and the idea is to make a lot of potential commercial,,,
But perhaps bi-use residential or commercial spaces at the "feet" of these edifices with the moats, which reminds me...
It might also make sense here to make a new train, although current train lines do serve this area, so that the old train line can become an "airport" express line...
And, at least, maybe, traffic on the adjacent route 90 can be reduced significantly)...
Then, we need these "pedestrian streets" where alleys now are...
To be well "connected" with "sightlines" to residential spaces...
These taller buildings can help that...
The shape of the buildings, such as by perhaps coming to a point nearest the street and "curving wider" for one example, could maximize, for one these sightlines, as would natural ventilation, as well as decks or ourdoor patios or balconies, etc... so people could opt to travel on these byways in lieu of the sidewalk of the main street and remain nearly as safe, or, potentially, safer still...
