Welcome
The Uptown Crossing district runs along West North Avenue from Sherman Boulevard on the east to 60th Street on the west and along West Lisbon Avenue from 46th Street to 51st Street.
The Uptown Crossing Business Improvement District was created in 1995 with the initial task of enhancing the streetscape within the district. The streetscape improvements included pedestrian lighting (Milwaukee Harp lights), tree plantings, and several bump-out focal points along West North Avenue where decorative brick pavers, street furniture and plantings were installed. Additional improvements include 2 colorful pole banners, trash receptacles and seasonal decorating. Recently the BID board has investigated property acquisition, adding bus shelters, lighting, a Millennium Art Project at The French Immersion School (51st and West North Avenue) and the addition of a public art piece for the tip of the West Triangle.
