Transportation Serving as a major thoroughfare stretching from downtown to western suburban developments, Chicago Avenue sees more than 7 million trips a year, an average of about 20,000 per day. This amount of traffic volume means it is imperative to understand the complex relationships between transportation modes, transportation safety, streetscaping, and various other factors that present themselves along the roadway. This comes in many forms from the quality of the built infrastructure, to the facilities hosted, to the ways in which the general populace engages with and utilizes the public right-of-way at their disposal.
