Wrigley Field Gameday Traffic and Parking Management Plan
1.Executive Summary
The unique, urban location of Wrigley Field offers numerous benefits to the residents and businesses of Lakeview. Located in the heart of the thriving North Side neighborhood, the Friendly Confines provides many advantages by bringing potential customers to area businesses and highlighting the neighborhood to a worldwide audience, many of whom come to visit to tour the ballpark even on non-game days. The presence of Wrigley Field is highlighted by real estate professionals who have named the community Wrigleyville to honor the home of the Cubs and to help give the area a unique identity which has become synonymous with one of the most attractive places to live in all Chicago. Wrigley Field offers a world class venue to residents who enjoy baseball, music and other events. Wrigley Field is also unique among major league stadiums and arenas with respect to transportation. Almost every other professional sports ballpark and venue in the United States is situated amid an abundance of parking and in close proximity to interstate highways; Wrigley Field is neither. Both the Cubs and the neighborhood have thrived over the years by managing traffic and parking congestion. One of the reasons for this is the many fans who choose not to drive to Wrigley Field because of their knowledge of the relative absence of parking around the ballpark. By adopting the recommendations in this report, traffic management can be enhanced and the ballpark and currently-proposed development can thrive without additional adverse traffic impact on the community. This traffic and management plan was conducted by Sam Schwartz Engineering (SSE) for the Chicago Cubs. The study was compiled with input from the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Office of Emergency Management and Communication (OEMC), the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Pace and neighborhood expertise, including Chester Kropidlowski who has decades of experience in Wrigley Field traffic operations. We thank all those who helped for their input. The Cubs can reduce the impact on the neighborhoods traffic and parking system in two ways: (1) by reducing the number of fans who drive and park at the game; and, (2) by reducing the amount of time fans who are driving remain in the neighborhood. This plan addresses the existing gameday traffic and parking operations at Wrigley Field, as well as new strategies to encourage more ticket holders to use the existing Remote Parking facility and take transit. The Cubs have committed to reviewing this plan with CDOT on an annual basis. The following are the primary conclusions of the traffic management plan: New traffic signals should be installed on Clark Street at Waveland Avenue, School Street, and Roscoe Street and an interconnect system should be installed on Clark Street, between Belmont Avenue and Irving Park Road. Eliminating the fee for remote parking and improving the marketing of this option will further reduce the number of cars which drive and park in the vicinity of Wrigley Field.

The Cubs can increase the manner in which they encourage fans to take transit to games instead of driving. For those fans who do drive, Cubs can offer parking solutions online and at the time of ticket purchase to reduce the amount of driving through the neighborhood looking for parking.
There will always be traffic congestion around Wrigley Field during Cubs games. Understanding the issues is important and helps to isolate which hours and traffic patterns pose the greatest challenge. Implementing the suggestions in this study offers an approach to help move traffic and people out of the neighborhood more quickly.

2.Introduction
Wrigley Field is unique in comparison to other sporting venues both around the country and in Chicago in part because of its urban setting and context. Wrigley Field is nestled tightly into a single block in a neighborhood of residences and small businesses. Unlike the United Center or U.S. Cellular Field, both of which are surrounded by vast tracts of parking (often provided to the team with public assistance), Wrigley Field incorporates parking provided officially by the Cubs with public street parking, neighbors who sell their garage space to fans as a means of earning income and other surface parking also used by bars, restaurants, and rooftop businesses. The Cubs own or operate approximately 1205 parking spaces in the blocks immediately adjacent to the ballpark for season ticket holders, staff and the press, including 200 spaces leased from the Chicago Park District in a lot at Challenger Park approximately half a mile north of the ballpark and other spaces leased from private operators such as the Vic Parking lot at Belmont and Sheffield. A description of the parking supply owned and operated by the Cubs is included in Page 13. To further reduce the physical footprint related to the ballpark and accommodate for the crowds it draws, the Cubs make available to fans remote parking spaces using existing lots on the DeVry University campus, approximately two miles west of the ballpark. Overall, there are an estimated 5,300 off-street parking spaces available in the community to Cubs fans. It is estimated sold-out games generate anywhere between 4,500 to 5,300 vehicles1, mainly from the north and northwest suburbs. Concerts and other special events typically generate less.

3.Existing Conditions
The traffic and parking conditions at Wrigley Field are unlike those at US Cellular Field, the United Center or any other ballpark in Major League Baseball. Though it lacks an abundance of parking lots or access to an interstate highway, Wrigley Field is well-situated with respect to the CTA Red Line and is located in one of the densest neighborhoods in Chicago, allowing people to walk and bike to the venue. The neighborhood has thrived for years with this volume of traffic and a significant amount of development has occurred over the last decade. The most stressful time for traffic congestion in the community is the weekday evening rush hour. This recognition leads to a number of conclusions, supported by the data on the pages which follow: a. Arrival times for daytime events do not pose a significant traffic problem in the community. Because fans do not arrive during rush hour and most residents are at work, fans are able to access the ballpark and the community without posing significant traffic management issues. b. Exiting from nighttime events does not pose a significant traffic problem in the community. Because fans leave well into the evening when most residents are home and not driving, fans are able to depart the community without posing significant traffic management issues. c. Weekend events, whether daytime or nighttime, do not pose a significant traffic problem in the community. Fans are able to arrive and depart the community without posing significant traffic management issues. Weekend events should not impact theaters or other businesses in the neighborhood, each of which is assumed to have its own traffic and parking management solution. The primary issue for traffic management related to Wrigley Field events, therefore, is when those events coincide with weekday evening rush hour traffic. This section of the report provides an overview of existing transportation conditions around Wrigley Field, analysis and observations of the existing transportation conditions and recommendations to improve the existing situation. Transit Wrigley Field is very well served by the regions transit system which is why so many people use public transportation to get to Cubs games. The most recent prior survey on Cubs fans travel patterns to Wrigley Field was conducted in 2001 by Siim Soot and estimated approximately 31% of fans used CTA Rail to get to games. Since 2001, transit ridership on weekdays at the Addison Street station has increased by 29%, during both the Cubs season (April-October) and off-season (October-April). It is estimated therefore CTA rail now accounts for at least 40% of the fans who get to the game based on this data. A description of each of the ways fans can reach Wrigley Field by transit is provided below. CTA Red Line
Page 4
The CTA Red Line, which runs between Howard Avenue and 95th Street, has a station at Addison Street and is well-used by both residents and fans accessing Wrigley Field. In 2012, more than 3,000,000 people entered the Addison Red Line Station, making it one of the busiest in the City. Before weekday night games, southbound Purple Line Express trains stop at the Sheridan station, which is north of Wrigley Field. After games, CTA provides additional staff in the Addison Station to assist with ticketing and platform loading. CTA Buses There are two bus routes, Route 22 (Clark) and Route 152 (Addison), which run adjacent to Wrigley Field. A number of additional bus routes are within mile of Wrigley Field. A map of all the CTA buses is shown in Figure 1. Pace Express To provide direct connections between the suburbs and Wrigley Field, Pace provides two Wrigley Field Express Routes: Route 282, which runs between the Northwest Transportation Center in Schaumburg and Wrigley Field, and Route 779, which runs between Yorktown Shopping Center in Lombard and Wrigley Field. Fans are able to park for free at these locations and it costs $4 to ride the service in each direction. Paces website provides an excellent instructional video on how to use the service. Exhibit 1 shows the ridership on each route over the last five years and the annual attendance.

The Cubs service is the most popular sports service Pace runs and the fares cover approximately 50% of the operating costs of the service. Paces Six Flags service is the only service which covers a higher percent of operating costs. Metra Metra provides regional rail service across the Chicagoland area. Two Metra lines provide service within proximity of Wrigley Field, the UP-North Line (UP-N) and the UP-Northwest Line (UP-NW). The UP-N Line serves the northern suburbs located along Lake Michigan and the closest stop to Wrigley Field is Ravenswood, located at 4800 N Ravenswood Avenue, approximately 2.0 miles north of Wrigley Field. The UP-NW Line serves the northwest suburbs in Cook, Lake, and McHenry
Page 5
Counties and the closest stop to Wrigley Field is Clybourn, located at 1900 N Ashland Avenue, approximately 3.6 miles south of Wrigley Field. One challenge of getting fans to take Metra to the game is Metra runs on a fixed schedule and Cubs games do not. This can force a fan into the decision to leave a game early to catch a train or watch the entire game and possibly have to wait at the train station for more than an hour. Exhibit 2 shows the Metra schedule for each of the existing start/end times for Cubs games. The Cubs experimented with a shuttle between the UP-N station and Wrigley Field, but disbanded the service due to low ridership.

Remote Parking The Cubs operate a Remote Parking facility at DeVry University near Addison Street and Rockwell Avenue (west of Western Avenue) for all weekend and night games. The cost to use this service is currently $6.00 and includes a round trip on the CTA 154 Route which runs direct between Wrigley Field and DeVry University. Post-game, passengers board the bus on the east side of Clark Street, north of Addison Street. The 154 routes start running two and a half hours before the game and runs one hour after night games and two hours after weekend day games. The number of cars and fans who have used the Remote Parking facility over the last five years is shown in Exhibit 3. The Cubs took over operation of the lot from the City of Chicago in 2004 and as the information in Exhibit 3 shows, use of the lot has increased dramatically under Cubs leadership. Exhibit 3 Number of Cars and Fans that Used Remote Parking Facility Cars Using Remote Parking 15,000 16,997 19,250 20,761 22,083 11,421 2,963 Fans Using Remote Parking 40,000 46,109 52,854 54,952 57,121 30,745 7,661 Annual Attendance 2,882,756 3,017,966 3,062,973 3,168,859 3,330,200 3,170,184 2,780,465 Fans Using Remote Parking per 10,000 Attendance 138.76 152.78 172.56 173.41 171.52 96.98 27.55

Remote parking increases at a higher rate as attendance gets higher, since the price of parking around the stadium increases during these times as well. If parking is cheap because of low attendance, it reduces the incentive to use the remote lot. Bicycling To encourage fans to bicycle to Wrigley Field, the Cubs provide a free bike valet service which allows fans to securely store their bike during the game. It is located on the south side of Waveland Avenue, between Clark Street and Wrigley Field. It is sponsored by SRAM and World Bicycle Relief. The bike valet service is open two hours before the game and closes one hour after the game. The annual usage of the bike valet service is shown in Exhibit 4.

In addition to the free service, many fans bicycle to the ballpark and lock their bikes to one of the many area bike racks offered by the Cubs and the City. For example, self lock bike racks are provided on the southeast corner of the intersection of Clark Street and Waveland Avenue and it is typically at capacity during Cubs games. The City of Chicago will be launching a bike share program in the summer of 2013. It is anticipated there will be a number of bike share stations in close proximity to Wrigley Field.

Vehicular Traffic While there are many options to access Wrigley Field, some fans clearly prefer to drive and continue to seek parking near the ballpark. This section discusses traffic conditions in and around the ballpark. Street Network The existing street network is shown in Figure 2 and identifies one-way streets and traffic signal locations. Clark Street Clark Street is a two-lane, northwest/southeast street adjacent to the west side of Wrigley Field. It is signalized at its intersections with Irving Park Road, Addison Street and Sheffield Avenue/Newport Avenue. It is under all-way stop control at its intersection with Waveland Avenue, Roscoe Avenue, and School Street. A buffer protected bike lane is provided on Clark Street, south of Addison Street, and a marked shared bike lane is provided on Clark Street, north of Addison Street. Clark Street is under the jurisdiction of CDOT. Addison Street Addison Street is a two-lane, east/west street adjacent to the south side of Wrigley Field. Addison Street is signalized at its intersections with Racine Avenue, Clark Street and Sheffield Avenue. It is under the jurisdiction of CDOT. Irving Park Road Irving Park Road is a major east/west arterial roadway connecting to both Lake Shore Drive and Interstate 90/94. In the area of Clark Street, Irving Park Road provides one lane of travel in each direction and a center left-turn lane, though parking is prohibited on the north side of Irving Park Road after games to allow for two travel lanes, between Clark Street and Southport Avenue. To the west of Southport Avenue, the westbound direction of Irving Park Road is striped to provide two travel lanes. To the west of Ashland Avenue, the road widens to provide two lanes of travel in each direction and a center left-turn lane/median. Irving Park Road is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Waveland Avenue Waveland Avenue is a two-lane, east/west street adjacent to the north side of Wrigley Field. It is under the jurisdiction of CDOT. Sheffield Avenue Sheffield Avenue is a two-lane, north/south street adjacent to the east side of Wrigley Field. It is under the jurisdiction of CDOT.
Charter buses The Cubs fan base extends beyond the Chicagoland area throughout the Midwest and around the nation. Many fans come to the game in groups and use a charter bus as their means of transportation.
Page 10
Charter buses drop-off passengers on the south side of Waveland Avenue before a game. On-street space is provided for charter buses to stage during the game on both sides of Irving Park Road, between Clark Street and Seminary Avenue and on the east side of Clark Street, between Byron Street and south of Irving Park Road. After games, charter buses pick up passengers on the south side of Waveland Avenue and the west side of Sheffield Avenue. Taxis Taxis are popular around Wrigley Field at all times, but particularly on event days. Taxi drivers typically want to drop-off and pick-up passengers as close to Wrigley Field as possible. Taxi cab stands were experimented with in the past, but were not successful because taxi drivers felt they were too far away from Wrigley Field and fans exiting from gates distant from the taxi stand preferred to and did - hail cabs on the nearest street. Limousines Limousines are seen fairly infrequently during most Cubs games, but their use picks up significantly for concerts. Neighbors have raised one primary issue regarding limousines: limousines illegally parking (double parking or parking in No Parking Zones) on residential streets as they wait for the concert to end. In most cases, the driver remains with the parked vehicle. Parking There are a number of options for parking in the area around Wrigley Field: Off-street parking The Cubs currently own or lease and operate nine parking lots, including one at Challenger Park owned by the Chicago Park District. A description of each parking lot is listed below: Red Lot: The Red Lot is located directly adjacent to Wrigley Field and has a capacity of 68 parking spaces. Blue Lot: The Blue Lot is located on the west side of Seminary Avenue, between Grace Street and Waveland Avenue and has a capacity of 150 parking spaces. Purple Lot: The Purple lot is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Clark Street and Waveland Avenue and has a capacity of 73 parking spaces. Orange Lot: The Orange lot is located on east side of Clark Street, just north of Grace Street and has a capacity of 16 parking spaces. Green Lot: The Green lot is located on Grace Street, just east of Clark Street and has a capacity of 650 parking spaces.
Page 11

Brown Lot: The Brown lot is located on Eddy Street, just east of Racine Avenue and has a capacity of 200 parking spaces. Gold Lot: The Gold lot is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Clifton Avenue and Waveland Avenue and has a capacity of 48 parking spaces. McDonalds Lot: The McDonalds lot is located on the northwest corner of the intersection Clark Street and Addison Street and has an estimated capacity of 35 parking spaces. Challenger Park: The Challenger Park parking lot is located on the north side of Irving Park Road, directly under the CTA rail tracks and has a capacity of 200 parking spaces.
A map of the parking lots is shown in Figure 3. Parking at Cubs-operated lots can be purchased in advance of the game by calling the Cubs. Many lots also offer cash parking on game days when the lot is not otherwise filled. In addition to the parking provided by the Cubs, there are a number of privately-owned surface and structure parking lots which offer gameday parking. Exhibit 5 lists a number of these lots as well as their estimated capacities. This number has diminished in recent years as surface parking lots have been developed and replaced with commercial businesses, such as some of the new bars and restaurants along Clark Street.

The pricing of off-street parking in 2013 during events varies between $10 and $50, depending on the day of the event and location of the lot. In addition to parking spaces provided by the Cubs and private operators, many residents and businesses sell individual parking spaces. This is not licensed and the City of Chicago does not receive taxes on these purchases. This market seemingly changes on a daily basis, so it is difficult to estimate the precise number of spaces available, but based on our observations we estimate between 200 and 400 additional spaces per game. Pre-paid parking helps reduce traffic in the community by reducing the travel time and transaction costs as fans circle neighborhood streets looking for an open parking lot and then often try to negotiate a price with a community resident selling his or her garage. At least two companies, ParkWhiz and SpotHero, maintain relationships with parking owners in the community and allow fans to purchase parking online before the game. This reduces over-circulation, which is the driving when fans are looking for parking. On-street parking While fans who drive to Wrigley Field are strongly encouraged to use the Remote Parking facility or to pay for parking at one of the Cubs or privately-owned facilities, some park on residential streets when such parking is permitted by law. The following provisions are in place related to residential street parking: Vehicles without a Zone 383 permit are prohibited from parking from 6 PM to 6 AM in the area bounded by Irving Park Road to the north, Belmont Avenue to the south, Ashland Avenue to the west and Broadway Avenue to the east. Vehicles parking in this area without a permit during a night game can be towed. It is legal to park in these areas during day games. Vehicles without a Zone 383 permit are prohibited from parking any time on segments of Clifton Street, Seminary Avenue, Kenmore Avenue, Wilton Avenue and Fremont Street. Vehicles without an LV2 permit are prohibited from parking in the areas generally bounded by Montrose Avenue to the north, Irving Park Road to the south, Ashland Avenue to the west and Clark Street to the east and in the area bounded by Irving Park Road to the north, Roscoe Street to the south, Ravenswood Avenue to the west and Ashland Avenue to the east. Vehicles are also prohibited from parking on segments of Clark Street, Irving Park Road, Addison Street and Eddy Street before and after Wrigley Field events.
The Chicago Police Department Detail Unit manages and coordinates night baseball parking violation enforcement. The Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) provides contracted tow trucks. The
Page 14
issuance of parking tickets is handled by the Chicago Police Detail Unit, the Department of Revenue and the 19th Police District. Night baseball parking enforcement activities are coordinated at the Wrigley Field Police Command Center in the 19th District Police Station at 850 W. Addison. The Command Center was previously located in the Cubs-owned Brown lot at 1140 W. Eddy. Towing enforcement actions for night baseball resident parking violations are initiated as a result of any one of the following: A citizen request to the night baseball telephone hotline 1-866-4CPD-TOW. A request from an involved Aldermans office (32nd, 44th, 46th, 47th Wards). Police designated street surveys for parking violators in one of two designated zones which rotate on a game-by-game basis. o o Zone 1 is the area bounded by and including Grace Street on the north, Belmont Avenue on the south, Racine Avenue on the east and Ashland Avenue on the west. Zone 2 is the area bounded by and including Grace Street on the north, Belmont Avenue on south, Halsted Street on the east and Racine Avenue on the west.
The Zone not enforced as part of the towing operation is enforced with parking violation enforcement by Parking Enforcement Aides of the Department of Revenue. Vehicles towed as a result of any enforcement action are towed to Auto Pound #6 at 701 N. Sacramento (773) 265-7605. It will cost, at minimum, $160.00 to retrieve a vehicle. A citizen can check to see if their car has been towed by calling 311. The Cubs have helped greatly in this effort by sponsoring a hot line for neighbors to call to report traffic and parking violations. Few calls have been reported to the hot line on an annual basis. SSE conducted spot counts and observations of residential parking during evening games and did not find many vehicles parked without a residential permit. Many vehicles were parked with guest permits. These could be legitimate guests of residents in the neighborhood or these passes could have been provided by residents to ticket holders. A map of the existing parking restrictions is shown in Figure 4.

An analysis was conducted of each time period using Synchro. Synchro is a modeling program providing a level of service for each intersection using a methodology from the Highway Capacity Manual. The results from the Synchro analysis included in the Appendix. Our conclusions and recommendations from the Sycnrho analysis are listed below: The interconnect systems designed and implemented by CDOT on Irving Park Road and Addison Street have a tremendous impact on moving traffic out of the neighborhood after a game. Consider raising the cycle lengths during post game flush period (day and night game) on Irving Park from Southport to Damen from 90 secs to 100 secs. This will match the existing cycle lengths on Irving at: Western, Oakley, Leavitt and Clark, and provide opportunity for better progression (assuming no manual control). It would also reduce delay at Lincoln/Damen/Irving by 25%. Consider raising the cycle lengths during post game flush period (day and night game) on Addison from Ashland to Leavitt from 90 secs to 100 secs. This will match the existing cycle lengths at Western and provide opportunity for westbound progression out of the neighborhood from Ashland to Western.
Existing Game Day Operations SSE conducted observations throughout the month of May and found the following: General Observations There is significantly more traffic congestion in the immediate area of Wrigley Field post-game, compared to pre-game, because the majority of fans are leaving the area in the first 30 minutes after the game, whereas fans coming to the game are spread throughout the approximate 90 minutes before a game. By 45 minutes after an event, streets are generally clear of the majority of Cubs fans. The majority of people driving are coming from the north and northwest suburbs. The zip codes with the highest number of season ticket holders are located in Chicago, close to Wrigley Field (60657, 60613, 60614, 60618, 60611, 60610). The highest number of season tickets holders outside of Chicago are located in 60062 (Northbrook), 60015 (Deerfield), 60093 (Winnetka), 60201 (Evanston), and 60068 (Park Ridge). This is consistent with the 2002 Traffic and Parking Study conducted for Wrigley Field. The majority of traffic, pre- and post-game, is east-west on Irving Park Road and Addison Street. Other than Clark Street, there is much less traffic on the north-south streets in the neighborhood. The Cubs pay the City of Chicago to place Traffic Control Aides (TCAs) at 49 posts before the game and 37 posts after the game. Intersection control was originally managed by the Chicago Police Department, but was taken over by the Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) in 2004. A map showing the locations where TCAs are posted is shown in Figure 12.
Page 18

Both Sheffield Avenue, between Waveland Avenue and Addison Street, and Waveland Avenue, between Seminary Avenue and Sheffield Avenue, are closed by Chicago Police officers before (approximately 120 minutes), during and after (approximately 30-60 minutes) Wrigley Field events. Vehicles can turn on to Waveland Avenue from Clark Street to access the Blue or Gold Lots. There is no messaging on city streets to provide information to drivers about Cubs game day activities or to ask motorists to avoid the area. The only messaging is provided on the Kennedy Expressway and it only advertises the remote parking lot. There is no signage at Wrigley Field to help people get to their destination on transit, whether it is CTA, Pace or Metra. There are no CTA fare card machines other than at the Addison Red Line station. There are a small number of limousines at Cubs games, but their use is considerably higher during concerts.
Pre-Game Turns are prohibited at the intersection of Clark Street and Addison Street. This helps traffic move smoother, makes it safer for pedestrians and provides more space for pedestrians. No information is provided to drivers on where parking is located or the price of parking. This leads to fans overcirculating through the neighborhood, looking for the best deal on parking with regard to price and location. Fans who take the Red Line, both northbound and southbound, typically exit at the Addison Street stop. There are three exits at this station: one on the south side of Addison Street, one of the north side of Addison Street and one on the north side of the station on an alley. The majority of people exit on the north side of Addison Street and the sidewalk is fairly narrow. This leads to congestion on the sidewalk, which is made worse by the ticket scalpers, bar solicitors, merchandise sales, street peddlers and other commercial activity on this segment of Addison Street. A barricade is provided at the edge of the sidewalk along on both sides of Addison Street to protect pedestrians from vehicles. We observed this barricade placed either on the edge of the sidewalk or just off the sidewalk in the street, depending on the date. When it is placed on the sidewalk, it reduces the effective width of the sidewalk by two to three feet, reducing the capacity for pedestrians.
Page 19

The Wrigley Field entrance gate at Clark Street and Addison Street is by far the most congested of the four main gates due to the limited footprint as well as the demand. Because of this, fans often spill out into the intersection. Both Pace buses and CTA Route 154 buses drop passengers off on the west side of Clark Street, between Waveland Avenue and Addison Street. Most passengers were observed using the main gate at Clark Street and Addison Street. Many fans who park in the Green Lot were observed walking along Clark Street to reach the ballpark. This adds to the congestion on Clark Street by adding to the conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. It is not the most direct route for pedestrians. The check-in area for charter buses, on Waveland Avenue at Seminary Avenue, is short in length and gets easily congested. Buses routinely queued on Clark Street waiting to turn. There is a considerable amount of congestion at Clark Street and Waveland Avenue, with pedestrians, charter buses, vehicles and CTA buses. Northbound charter buses waiting to turn onto Waveland Avenue were observed queuing on Clark Street, blocking northbound through traffic. Charter buses were observed stopping adjacent to Gate K, which blocks Waveland Avenue. After dropping off passengers, charter buses were observed turning right from Addison Street to Clark Street. All charter buses should be directed away from Wrigley Field after dropping off passengers. Charter buses are permitted to park on both sides of Irving Park Road, between Clark Street and Seminary Avenue, and the west side of Clark Street, both north and south of Irving Park Road. After dropping off passengers, charter buses typically first take up the space on the north side of Irving Road then the south side of Irving Park Road then the Clark Street, south of Irving Park Road. No buses were seen parked on the west side of Clark Street, north of Irving Park Road. Though the free bike check is very popular and close to Wrigley Field, it is somewhat difficult to find. There is no signage on Clark Street directing bicyclists to it. After the game there was a line at the bikecheck. This could discourage future bike use. Self-lock bike parking is fairly well used, particularly on weekends.
Post-Game
Page 20

Traffic flows about as well as it can after the game under the control of the Traffic Control Aides considering the number of vehicles leaving the area at one time. This is a challenging job as there are many conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians following the game. Irving Park Road has the most capacity of any street in the area. Traffic should be directed to it as much as possible. OEMC has successfully established a clear zone at the intersection of Clark Street and Addison Street. Eastbound, westbound and southbound traffic is prohibited from reaching the intersection of Clark and Addison. This helps ease pedestrian congestion at the main gate of Wrigley Field and makes it easier for buses to exit. Assuming current conditions, the five critical intersections to post-game traffic flow are Clark Street/Waveland Avenue, Clark Street/Grace Street/Racine Avenue, Clark Street/Irving Park Road, Southport Avenue/Irving Park Road, and Ashland Avenue/Irving Park Road. If one of these intersections is operating poorly, it affects the entire operations of outbound traffic. A discussion of the observations of each intersection is listed below: o Waveland Avenue/Clark Street: There is no traffic signal at this intersection and it is operated entirely under the manual control of TCAs. In addition to vehicle traffic, there is significant pedestrian traffic crossing Clark Street and Waveland Avenue, Pace and CTA buses and charter buses turning on to Waveland Avenue to pick up passengers. The volume of pedestrians makes this a very difficult intersection to control manually. Delays at this intersection have the greatest impact on charter buses turning on to Waveland Avenue and Pace and CTA buses which want to travel north on Clark Street. A traffic signal has been proposed for this intersection and could improve operations. A bridge over Clark Street will also help manage pedestrian traffic at the street level. Clark Street/Grace Street/Racine Avenue: The largest parking lot in the area is the Green Lot on Grace Street and the majority of traffic exits the Green Lot to this intersection. Racine Avenue and Grace Street do not intersect with Clark Street at the same location, which causes challenges. Traffic is prohibited from travelling south on Clark Street, making a northbound left-turn from Clark Street and making a southbound left-turn from Clark Street during postgame. The TCAs control the traffic signal and limit it to three phases: northbound/southbound traffic on Clark Street, eastbound/westbound traffic on Grace Street and northbound traffic on Racine Avenue. Three movements should be prioritized at the intersection: the northbound traffic on Clark Street, the northbound traffic on Racine Avenue and the westbound traffic on Grace Street. All of this traffic is heading north towards Irving Park Road.
Page 21

o
Clark Street/Irving Park Road: This is the critical intersection for outbound traffic as well as traffic operations on Irving Park Road. The only movement prohibited at this intersection is westbound left-turns (with the exception of charter buses). The northbound approach of Clark Street provides a left-turn lane, a through lane and a right-turn lane at Irving Park Road. When westbound traffic on Irving Park Road is queued to Clark Street from Southport Avenue, then northbound and westbound traffic at the intersection cant move through the intersection. This causes further backups on westbound Irving Park Road and northbound Clark Street. Southport Avenue/Irving Park Road: This intersection causes a considerable amount of the issues in moving post-game traffic. Southport Avenue dead-ends two blocks to the north of Irving Park Road and the majority of vehicles travelling north at the intersection are those cutting through the neighborhood to avoid Clark Street and Southport Avenue. Southport Avenue is located approximately 450 to the west of Clark Street. When traffic on Southport Avenue receives green times, traffic on westbound Irving Park Road has a red signal. This means that no traffic can travel westbound on Irving Park Road at Clark Street or make a northbound left-turn from Clark Street to Irving Park once this small distance between the two intersections has cars queued in it. We observed a number of instances where the amount of green time provided to traffic on Southport Avenue caused gridlock at the intersection of Irving Park Road and Clark Street. Ashland Avenue/Irving Park Road: Both Ashland Avenue and Irving Park Road are arterial roadways and carry high volumes of traffic. The operations at this intersection must be made as efficient as possible. TCAs control the traffic signal at this location during the post-game. Through traffic on both streets should be prioritized over the left-turn lanes, which should only be given minimum green times. We often observed the traffic signal being adjusted to provide more than the minimum green time in order clear the left-turn queues. This has a large impact on the operations of through traffic on both streets. We also observed cycle length times in excess of 200 seconds, which is not efficient.
Traffic does get congested at Irving Park Road and Seminary Avenue. This is due to Irving Park Road being reduced to one lane in each direction at this location and the volume of pedestrians crossing Irving Park Road to reach the Challenger Park parking lot. The #152 buses line up along Addison Street after the game and the CTA loads one bus at a time. The front door of each bus allows both fare card and cash transactions and the rear door has a portable fare card station. By far the longest delay is on the CTA buses is due to the passengers paying cash. The boarding process for CTA buses takes approximately 45-90 minutes after the game, making it a sub-optimal experience for fans. The CTA Addison Red Line Station is very crowded after the game. CTA provides portable fare card stations to get more people through after the games. The fare card dispenser is very crowded post-game as many people do not purchase their fares until after the game.
Page 22

There are a large number of pedicabs on Waveland Avenue and Sheffield Avenue after the game. These users were observed using space reserved for charter buses and adding to congestion on Clark Street after the games. Taxi operations are very unpredictable after the games. Drivers are looking to pick up passengers right outside of Wrigley Field, which results in all cabs trying to get as close as possible.
Potential Improvements Based on SSEs observations, the intersection analysis and discussions with residents, CDOT, OEMC, CTA and Pace, we offer the following recommendation to potentially improve traffic flow before and after games. The potential improvements are shown in Figure 13. 1. The Cubs, CDOT and OEMC should annually review how Traffic Control Aides are deployed and how they are controlling the traffic signals. This is a very difficult job and the TCAs do a very good job. Having additional expertise reviewing operations will only make the system work better. All TCAs should be trained in the operations of signals and how the pedestrian clearance interval works. In addition, because traffic patterns are most critical post-game, consideration should be given to altering shifts to allocate more Traffic Control Aides following the game and fewer before. 2. Traffic signals should be installed at the intersections of Clark Street/Waveland Avenue, Clark Street/Roscoe Street, and Clark Street/School Street as well as an interconnect system on Clark Street, between Belmont Avenue and Irving Park Road. CDOT has conducted signal warrant studies for these intersections in the past and show that these intersection do warrant a traffic signal. This should improve traffic flow on Clark Street. 3. Additional study should be conducted on the impact of minimizing the amount of green time that Southport Avenue traffic receives at Irving Park Road to promote through traffic on Irving Park Road. Consideration should be given to prohibiting westbound right-turns at the intersection of Southport Ave/Grace Street to minimize the amount of northbound traffic on Southport Avenue at Irving Park Road. Reducing Southport Avenue traffic will reduce the amount of time gridlock is experienced at Clark Street/Irving Park Road. 4. Consideration should be given to restricting all parking after events on Clark Street, between Irving Park Road and Grace Street. This will allow for two northbound lanes on Clark Street on this segment. Charter buses can still park on the west side of Clark Street, north of Irving Park Road. 5. Installing temporary signage at Clark Street and Irving Park Road to allow the northbound direction to provide a left-turn lane, a combination left-turn/through lane and a right-turn lane should be evaluated. The intersection will have to operate with split phasing for Clark Street under manual control.
Page 23
6. The intersection of Clark Street/Grace Street/Racine Avenue could be re-configured with cones after games to improve traffic flow. This could allow the northbound left-turn from Racine Avenue and the northbound through movement on Clark Street to operate at the same time. A right-turn lane and a combination left-turn/through/right-turn lane could be provided on westbound Grace Street. 7. The manual controlled cycle length at Ashland Avenue and Irving Park Road should match CDOTs suggested cycle length as closely as possible. Left-turn phases should be the minimum and the priority should be on through traffic on Ashland Avenue and Irving Park Road. 8. Additional analysis should be conducted of existing variable message boards used by the City for Cubs game and determine if they should be relocated. The Cubs should also work with traffic reporting companies to alert drivers of congestion due to Cubs games and to avoid driving through the neighborhood if its not necessary. 9. The Cubs should explore the possibility of pre-selling parking, both Cubs owned and non-Cubs owned, on a website or app. 10. Determine how wayfinding could be improved to provide more information on the location and availability of Cubs-operated parking pre-game and signs to the highway post-game. 11. The Cubs should continue to provide in-game announcements and information on the message boards throughout the stadium on transit. 12. Explore the feasibility of installing CTA fare card machines on the sidewalks immediately outside Wrigley Field. 13. All charter buses should be encouraged to pull up as close to Sheffield Avenue as possible. 14. Barricades on Addison Street should always be placed in the street (just off the sidewalk) and not on the sidewalk to provide as much room for pedestrians as possible. Ticket brokers should not be allowed to delay or slow pedestrians by offering merchandise outside their storefronts. 15. CTA passengers, both rail and bus, should be encouraged to purchase their return fare before the game. The Cubs should work with the CTA to develop messaging in the Addison Red Line Station to accomplish this. 16. The Cubs should work with the City, the Chicago Police Department and the aldermen to review and update the Night Game Parking Violation Enforcement Plan in recognition of the fact all LV2 night baseball resident parking been removed from the 46th Ward and new LV2 streets have been added to the 47th Ward.
Page 24
17. Consideration should be given to establishing a temporary auto pound to improve the efficiency of the towing operation for night events. More study is necessary to determine the feasibility of this recommendation. 18. Street peddlers and street performers should not be allowed to perform in the public rights of way where they pose obstacles for pedestrians and potentially impact public safety. 19. Cubs should promote bicycle ridership through events and prizes (e.g. free pair of tickets for whomever rides his/her bike most often in a season; Divvy Bikeshare night).
Page 25
4. Additional Recommendations
For the past decade, the Cubs have strengthened their commitment to reducing the impact of Wrigley Field events on traffic and parking in the neighborhood. This has been accomplished through the Remote Parking facility at DeVry University, messaging on the Interstate, the free bike check service and encouraging people to take transit among other steps. The recommendations listed in this report will, if adopted, enhance the Cubs existing programs and further reduce traffic and parking in the neighborhood. The success of this program will be the responsibility of not only the Cubs, but the City, Chicago Transit Authority, Pace, Metra and the rooftop owners. Importantly, the suggestions in this report are recommendations only. It is not critical every one of these be adopted, but an open discussion on this topic will help clarify issues and allow all concerned to have a say in enhancing transportation issues related to Wrigley Field. The Cubs have already begun to implement a number of the recommendations. Some of the recommendations will require as approvals from multiple agencies. The recommendations have been grouped into those which could happen in the short term and those which will take at least a year to investigate, analyze and consider. Short Term 1. Eliminate the fee for Remote Parking facility and heavily promote its use. It currently costs $6 to use the Remote Parking facility at DeVry University. This cost and the time it takes to travel to and from the ballpark are likely the largest obstacles to increasing use of this facility. Alderman Tunney has asked the Cubs to consider eliminating this fee to encourage more people to use the facility. This option should also continue to be promoted on the Cubs website, during the game and through other marketing strategies. A free and well-promoted Remote Parking facility has to potential to vehicles from the local street system before and after the games as well as reduce the on- and off-street parking demand. The Cubs should work with CTA to determine if additional incentives can be provided on the bus, such as free wireless or food, if such incentives encourage more people to use the service. The system should then be evaluated to determine the impact of the change. Actively promote alternatives to driving and provide information to ticket holders. The use of alternative options to driving can potentially be increased by ensuring fans are fully aware of the availability and attractiveness of potential alternative choices. Travel choices, once established a few times, tend to become habits and individuals do not necessarily invest the time or effort to (re)consider alternative choices. In addition to promoting the viability of alternatives, there is considerable value to foot in the door strategies. Alternatives to driving and parking should be actively promoted and fans encouraged and incentivized to give public transportation a try at least once. Providing more information will require more public announcements at the game, including information in mailings and wayfinding at Wrigley Field.
2.
Precedent: As part of the Barclays center TDM plan, potential fans were surveyed about their likely travel mode to the future ballpark. 45.4% of the potential audience choice public transportation. However,
Page 26
after the survey respondents were presented with information about the transportation options available to reach it, 54.4% of respondents then stated they would travel via public transit (an increase of 9.0 percentage points from the initial responses). These results quantify what has been experienced at other venues; namely, promoting the viability of transit can have a profound effect on the travel choices people make.
3.
Implement a formal transportation demand management program The Cubs should implement a formal transportation demand management program to continually address the traffic and parking demand generated for Cubs games and other events at Wrigley Field. This sort of program should reflect the flexibility to change during the course of a season or during the course of an event in response to increased demand. A staff member should be responsible for administering the program and being a liaison with the Chicago Department of Transportation, the Office of Emergency Management & Communications, the Chicago Transit Authority, Pace and Metra. Because the transportation demand is due to not only the Cubs, but also local bars, restaurants, and rooftops, all entities should contribute to the solutions to improve the overall traffic and parking conditions in the community.
Precedent: At CenturyLink Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, the stadium has an on-staff transportation manager to coordinate event day parking and transportation needs, community outreach and the distribution of access information. At the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, they have an on-staff transportation manager as well as an on-site transportation control room where arena operators communicate in real-time with the transit agency, traffic and pedestrian managers and the police.
4. Redesign the presentation of transportation information on cubs.com. The official Cubs website presents transportation information on five separate web pages: a main transportation page [Homepage -> Wrigley Field -> Transportation] and four subpages for different travel modes (Bike Riders; CTA Information; Driving directions; Transportation Hubs). The Getting to Wrigley Field link on the homepage, which sports the tagline Find out the best ways to get to the game! connects not to the main transportation page but to the Driving Directions page. Fans have to navigate back from the driving page get to information on transit and cycling from the homepage link.
This portion of the Cubs website should be overhauled and substantially redesigned to emphasize public transit access as the best way to Wrigley Field. Different modes of travel and their time and costs should be presented side-by-side or in an easy to compare format on the same page. The Cubs should integrate CTA Train Tracker and Bus Tracker widgets into the website so fans can access up-to-date transportation information. Consideration should also be given to developing an application for mobile devices to provide transportation and parking information. Precedent: As part of the Barclays Center TDM plan, transportation information on the barclayscenter.com website has been designed into the homepage of the site and in a manner to display public transportation as the first option. This website, www.barclayscenter.com, is a good precedent. The wording of the text also helps create an expectation parking will be difficult and time consuming to find at a venue. Subway, bus, commuter rail and bike information are presented on simple to read layers of the
Page 27
same map which fans can easily click through to compare. Estimated travel times by train are also presented.
5. Change Residential Parking Signs to Provide More Information. The current on-street signage prohibiting parking for night games at Wrigley Field reads No Parking Game Days. While it would be great to have this signage apply for concerts and other events, the wording of the signs makes it unclear whether this also applies to events such as concerts. Two alternatives would improve the information provided:
a. All signs be changed to read NO PARKING WRIGLEY FIELD NIGHT EVENTS and the no parking hours on Fridays should be modified to begin at 3 PM. b. The Cubs, the City and the neighborhood should explore additional methods to alert people of parking restrictions on residential streets. This could involve an app for mobile devices or physical changes to the signs, such as a small red light to alert people when parking is prohibited by non-residents. The City of Chicago piloted a similar program for street sweeping in 2008.
6.
Promote the Citys bike share program. The Cubs should work with CDOT to promote the Citys Divvy bike share program. This could include in-game announcements and promotions or include it in other advertisements for transit. Improve the information on the variable message signs to encourage people to use Remote Parking. The current variable messaging signs provide information on how to access the Remote Parking lot. This should be modified so to incentivize drivers to use it. One way to accomplish this would be to display the time/cost of driving to the Remote Parking as opposed to Wrigley Field.
7.
Promote CTA Remote Parking lots. The CTA currently provides four Remote Parking lots (Red Line Howard, Purple Line Linden, Yellow Line Skokie, Brown Line Kimball) which could be used by fans from the north and northwest suburbs. The Cubs should market these options much more aggressively on their website and mailings to season ticket holders.
8.
9.
Incentivize fans to take Metra, Pace or to use the Remote Parking. In addition to providing additional options for fans to not park near Wrigley Field, the additional step of incentivizing these options must be taken so they are more attractive to people who would typically park close to the ballpark. Potential options include: Provide food, entertainment or free wireless on all shuttle buses and Pace express buses. Provide vouchers/coupons for food or future ticket purchases for people use Metra, Pace or Remote Parking.
Page 28
10. Pilot strategies to better manage taxi operations.
Managing taxis around Wrigley Field is extremely challenging due to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of taxi drivers. A taxi stand was previously installed on Sheffield Avenue but was unsuccessful because taxi drivers did not want to wait for customers to find them. For taxi stands to be successful, they must be the most convenient location for both drivers and passengers and promoted accordingly. The City would also need to step up enforcement to ensure the taxi drivers all use the designated location and do not pick up fares on other streets. The Cubs should work with CDOT and the Department of Business License and Affairs to develop and pilot different strategies with the goal of making the operations more organized. Consideration should be given to allowing only taxis and CTA buses to use Addison Street, between Clark Street and Halsted Street, after games and prohibiting taxis from using Clark Street.
10. Treat limousines as charter buses during events.
Concerts and events at Wrigley Field often times generate a higher volume of limousines; these events also generate considerably fewer charter buses. It is recommended limousines be directed to pickup/drop-off on Waveland Avenue before and after games and limousines are given a special permit to park where charter buses park during games. The signs on Irving Park Road and Clark Street should be changed to read NO PARKING EXCEPT BUSES OR LIMOS ON WRIGLEY FIELD NIGHT EVENTS.
11. Rooftop Traffic and Parking Plan.
In addition to the fans who attend games inside Wrigley Field, approximately 2,500 to 3,000 fans purchase tickets at the adjacent buildings on Waveland Avenue and Sheffield Avenue to watch from the rooftops. However, there is no parking formally provided for these fans or any sort of traffic management plan. It is recommended the rooftop owners develop a traffic and parking study which includes a mode choice survey and encourages users to use options other than driving to the neighborhood. Rooftop owners should contribute to the cost of the recommendations in this report to the same extent as the Cubs, except in 7% of the cost amount, since rooftop attendance constitutes approximately 7% of the attendance of Wrigley Field on game days.
12. Promote the purchase of CTA, Metra and Pace fare media along with Cubs ticket sales.
Obtaining and paying for the correct fare media may be a potential barrier to public transit use, especially for fans who are not regular users of the CTA, Metra or Pace systems. To reduce this barrier, transit fare cards can be offered and promoted for purchase online when Cubs tickets are sold and fare media can be offered as part of a season ticket invoice. Metra and CTA pass for game day use can be offered for purchase with season-tickets. Having fans pre-pay for transit creates a season-long investment in this choice, therefore increasing the likelihood it is used as the default mode of access for all games attended. This cross promotion of transit fare payment and Cubs ticket sales could be ideally kicked-off with the launch of the new Ventra CTA fare system later in 2013. Ventra accounts could also likely be
Page 29
programmed to enable rides after Cubs games to be charged at discounted rates. Transit options should also be printed on tickets.
13. Continue to encourage employees to participate in the RTA/CTA Transit Benefit Fare Program.
The RTA/CTA Transit Benefit Fare Program allows employees to deduct up to $245 per month from their paychecks pre-tax to pay for their transit fares. With the pre-tax deduction, employees can save up to 40% on their annual transit spend. The Cubs should continue to administer this program to encourage more employees to take transit to work. Long Term 14. Northbound Red Line Express service to Howard, Davis or Skokie. Adding post-game express CTA service northbound to Howard would reduce travel times from Wrigley Field to Howard by 6 minutes and reduce crowding on Red Line trains and at the Addison Station. The reduction in travel time and convenience of an express ride could help encourage CTA ridership for fans in the northward reaches of the CTA service area and also help increase the use of Remote Parking lots available at Howard (592 spaces), Linden (328) and Skokie (441). To accomplish this, the addition of CTA trains into service would be necessary to maintain existing headways and capacity on the Red Line. This could be achieved by using either the Red Line Addison platform and having trains cross over to the Purple Line track after boarding passengers or using the outer platform at Sheridan. The latter would be ideal, since it would help distribute some of the load of northbound CTA passengers from Addison to Sheridan, thereby helping relieve post-game congestion at Addison. It is recommended the ridership potential of this option is further investigated by examining post-game Red Line use patterns in depth. Precedent: The CTA already adjusts service for game days to include a stop at Sheridan on the southbound Purple Line before games on weekdays and extend the duration of service until midnight for the Yellow Line to Skokie after weeknight games. As part of the Transportation Demand Management plan for the Citi Field construction, the New York City MTA introduced special super-express service in the post-game period on the 7 subway line which skips 13 stops along the route, greatly reducing the travel time between the ballpark and Manhattan and addressing the concerns of some fans comfortable with taking the subway to the game but apprehensive about riding the subway late at night.
15. Explore new Pace express bus.
The existing Wrigley Field service is one of Paces most successful programs and ridership has grown tremendously since it was initially launched. There definitely is a demand for this type of service in the Northwest suburbs. The Cubs should work with Pace to determine the feasibility of adding a similar service to the Northwest suburbs based on the season ticket holder data.
16. Improving Red Line station to better connect to Wrigley.
Whereas the arrival of fans to the game by transit is governed by the rate at which CTA vehicles can get them there, the post-game period experiences a much larger surge of fans departing and leads to a situation where transit riders arrive faster than trains can handle. Although Addison station was re
Page 30
configured to a center platform in 1994, the facilities are in many ways still inadequate and as a result transit patrons end up queuing back out of the station and onto the sidewalk along Addison Street. There is a potential to improve the overall configuration and design of the station, including a larger concourse area and additional stairways to the platforms. The footprint of the station could be expanded under the four-track elevated structure, especially on the south side of Addison where the current configuration is no entry with a high barrier gate control. The Addison station is not part of the CTAs $86 million Red North Interim Station Improvements program. However, it is recommended the Cubs work closely with the CTA to develop a suitable station design for game-day conditions and input these contributions for construction in the Red & Purple Modernization project (or sooner if other suitable sources of funding can be identified). In addition, the station should be renamed as Cubs-Addison or Wrigley Field-Addison, similar to the station adjacent to U.S. Cellular Field being named Sox-35th. This makes it easier and more comfortable for fans from outside the City to take the Red Line and access the White Sox park. Changing the name of the Addison station would increase awareness among fans from out of town and others who are not familiar with Chicagos transit system. This would likely increase usage of the El and reduce usage of taxis and private vehicles. Precedent: At Fenway Park in Boston, the Kenmore MBTA station included a larger head-house, elevators for ADA accessibility and escalators and an expanded mezzanine and queuing space to accommodate the game day crush. As part of the TDM plan for the Citi Field construction, physical changes were made to the to the Mets-Willets Point station to improve pedestrian flow to the subway platforms. There are numerous transit stations across the station associated with teams and fields (Target Field Station Minneapolis, Mets-Willet Point New York, Sports and Entertainment Complex Philadelphia).
17. Explore RideShare.
Pace RideShare is a free carpool and vanpool matching service offered to the Chicagoland area, typically for commuters. The Cubs should work with Pace to determine if there is a possibility to offer a RideShare program to Cubs games for fans that live close together and want to carpool or vanpool together.
18. Parking Management.
In addition to parking officially provided by the Cubs, there is an informal and entrepreneurial industry of surface parking lot operators around Wrigley Field. The model for many of these parking small businesses is to hold a sign on the street to attract potential parkers and then for potential customers to drive-up, roll down their windows and attempt to negotiate a price. This model is disruptive, however, as it likely generates cruising and interrupted traffic flow in the neighborhoods around Wrigley Field as customers attempt to search and bargain for a deal. It is recommended the City of Chicago better manage and regulate the privately provided commercial parking around Wrigley Field. There is the possibility of establishing and enforcing a parking pre
Page 31
purchase system for parking. Since drivers likely select facilities based on a balance of convenience and cost, a pre-purchasing system may enable drivers to select parking locations along their route of travel, therefore limiting the amount of cruising and circulating through the congested area around the ballpark. A pre-payment model has already emerged organically in the Wrigley Field neighborhood with online parking reservation sites such as parkwhiz.com and spothero.com, which create a market to enable individuals to temporarily rent their private parking space on games days (rather than standing in the street). It is recommended the Cubs, in conjunction with the City, investigate ways to make the use of such pre-payment systems mandatory and prohibit the solicitation of parking for sale at curbside (but not online). The City and the Cubs should also work with the Lakeview Chamber to promote existing parking lots in the area through their website and parking reservation sites. Precedent: At the Prudential Center in Newark, there is a centrally coordinated event parking program, administered by Click and Park, where fans pre-purchase parking passes at facilities convenient to their direction of their access route to/from the ballpark. Similarly, at the Barclays Center, an online parking space reservation system is operated by Click and Park.

5. Conclusion
Wrigley Field is also unique among major league stadiums and arenas with respect to transportation. Almost every other professional sports ballpark and venue in the United States is situated amid an abundance of parking and in close proximity to interstate highways; Wrigley Field is neither. Both the Cubs and the neighborhood have thrived over the years by managing traffic and parking congestion. One of the reasons for this is the many fans who choose not to drive to Wrigley Field because of their knowledge of the relative absence of parking around the ballpark. There will always be issues with traffic congestion in the neighborhood. Implementing the suggestions in this plan will offer an incremental approach to reducing the number of fans that drive in the area of Wrigley Field and moving traffic and people out of the neighborhood quicker. Traffic and parking will be continually evaluated with CDOT in the future to determine additional improvements that can further improve the situation.

Potential Improvements
1. Trafc signals should be installed at the intersections of Clark Street/Waveland Avenue, Clark Street/Roscoe Street, and Clark Street/School Street. 2. Trafc on Southport Avenue should be given minimal green time to promote through trafc on Irving Park Road. 6. The manual controlled cycle length at Ashland Avenue and Irving Park Road should match CDOTs suggested cycle length as closely as possible. 7. All charter buses should be encouraged to pull up as close to Shefeld Avenue as possible. 8. Barricades on Addison Street should always be placed in the street (just off the sidewalk) and not on the sidewalk to provide as much room for pedestrians as possible. 9. CTA passengers, both rail and bus, should be encouraged to purchase their return fare before the game. 10. Restripe the Blue Lot to provide 90 degree parking spaces, as opposed to the angle parking it provides now.
ADDISON ST
CORNELIA AVE
ROSCOE ST
3. No parking of any type should be permitted after events on Clark Street, between Irving Park Road and Grace Street. 4. Temporary signage should be provided at Clark Street and Irving Park Road to allow the northbound direction to provide a left-turn lane, a combination left-turn/through lane and a rightturn lane. 5. The intersection of Clark Street/Grace Street/Racine Avenue should be re-congured with cones after games to improve trafc ow.
