West Side Traffic Calming Project
This project aims to increase pedestrian safety and provide physical updates that will calm the flow of traffic across the west side of campus, providing a safer environment for patients, staff and students. Several traffic calming measures occurring across several phases include:
-
At Wood and Fillmore there will be curb extensions. (Phase 1)
-
At Hermitage and Taylor there will be curb extensions and a raised crosswalk. (Phase 2)
-
At Taylor and Wood there will be new traffic lights and a raised intersection. (Phase 3)
Phase III
Start Date: April 13, 2026
Duration: 13 Weeks
Phase three of the installation of traffic-calming measures near the hospital will begin on Monday, April 13. This work is expected to take 13 weeks to complete.
In this final phase, a raised intersection will be constructed at Wood and Taylor streets and new traffic signals will be installed.
As this work takes place, Taylor St. will be closed to through traffic between Paulina and Wood streets and Wood St. will be closed to through traffic at Taylor St.
Valet parking services for the Specialty Care Building will remain on Wood St. south of Taylor. Hospital valet services will operate directly in front of the hospital on Taylor St.
UIC buses will continue to be rerouted as indicated in the UIC Ride app. Visit the Transportation website to view a complete list of shuttle bus stops.
If you are traveling in this area, please use caution and follow the directional signage and barricades put in place for your protection.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work toward completion of this important campus project.
