McKinley Park Existing Conditions Report

The City of Chicago offers both a regulatory framework and initiatives that are available to McKinley Park residents experiencing flooding. Many of these are pioneering the use of green infrastructure approaches and have gained national attention. While wide-ranging and often impressive, several of the programs are only partially operational due to funding constraints. A list summarizing the framework and initiatives is identified in Appendix B. If adequately resourced and coordinated, they provide a foundation for addressing urban flooding in McKinley Park.
