The city currently has a long term plan to rebuild Milwaukee Ave starting from the north and working south from Jefferson Park to Grand. This year its rebuilding Milwaukee Ave from Irving Park to Addison. It's rebuilding about one mile a year so it will eventually get down to wicker park in 3-4 years. Next year is Addison to Belmont, and then Belmont to Fullerton in 2014.
Here's an interesting plan of how to redesign Logan Square to make it more pedestrian friendly when Milwaukee is being rebuilt in that area in 2 years. Milwaukee through the square could be only open for bikes and buses.
