February 1, 2023What I think would help the Village is helping residents with flooding homeowner properties, instead of new trees, signs, and plaques.

February 1, 2023They will not even acknowledge that flooding is a problem. You are so right.

February 2, 2023The emphasis on housing diversity is great. The plan appears to address all significant needs as well as all available solutions. I also liked the plan for multi family at Duane & Lorraine, but as someone who lives very close to this site, I hope that the village will address speeding along Lorraine before increasing density in this area. This corner may require an all way stop. At the very least, the yield sign should be replaced with a stop sign. I also hope that the village consider having condos at this site instead of apartments. This would address the extremely high prices for condos in the area. The village should consider redevelopment of the properties across the street from the proposed Duane & Lorraine development. Three of these homes are for sale and all are in very poor condition.
The plans for additional bike infrastructure is great! I prefer to ride my bike instead of drive and the area should be safer for kids to ride bikes.
The COD shuttle is also an excellent idea.
The town needs to lower the speed limit to 25 like most other similar towns and add stop signs to reduce and eliminate unprotected intersections. Immediate action should be taken to increase traffic control around schools, including adding signs reminding drivers that they have to stop for pedestrians crossing the street. In the alternative, stop signs should be added. The schools should not have to rely on crossing guards who may not be on duty when all students are crossing. All intersections around schools should be 4 way stops. The current school pedestrian routs do not meet national guidelines. That said, as a person who walks and runs around the town, we should be concerned for pedestrian safety for all residents, not just kids. A commission should be put together to address neighborhood road and pedestrian safety.

February 2, 2023I appreciate that the Draft Plan addresses the need for housing diversity. Please include specifically the need for supportive housing for people with disabilities. Since our community currently has little to none, why not plan for this ongoing need in the future? It will also tell anyone interested in developing such housing that this is a community need.

February 6, 2023On page 15 of the Comprehensive Plan, Parcel 5 labeled as Union Pacific Railroad and Illinois Prairie Path, is designated as future attached single family development. This parcel is owned by the DuPage County Forest Preserve and was acquired by the County in 2004 in order to preserve open space after much public outcry over a proposed residential development. The Plan should be revised to reflect the County’s objective of keeping these parcels as open space.
