Background
The Southwest Side is a vital community with a distinctive character.
Numerous community-serving institutions are located here, including Serb Hall,
St. Luke’s Medical Center, and Alverno College.

developing in tandem with the preparation of the Citywide Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the Southwest Side Plan is to evaluate the assets and
