Help us shape the future of Ravenswood! 

Join us to discuss the results of our recent community survey and recommendations for the update to our 2019 Development Framework Plan. We’ll present findings from 6-7:30pm Wednesday, June 10 in the All Saints Parish Hall, 1757 W Wilson. Pizza will be provided!

The plan will help guide RNA’s Planning & Development committee on zoning and licensing issues, update neighborhood demographics and housing characteristics, and provide important insight into what neighbors want to see in Ravenswood.  Please RSVP here.


Based on community input and analysis of existing conditions, the four goals of the 2019 Ravenswood Development Framework Plan were:

  1. Encourage density and affordability to provide housing for all
  2. Preserve historic buildings and encourage new development to mimic existing character
  3. Maintain a diverse mix of independent, locally owned businesses
  4. Create more avenues for community input on local zoning and development decisions
