Hey, Park Ridge! The final community poll is open and ready for the taking. Flood Mitigation, Public Art, Renewable Energy, Housing Types… we want to know — what are YOUR top priorities?
Please carve out 5-minutes to identify which of the 40 draft recommendations you feel are most important. All recommendations are based on input to date and will be paired with a series of more detailed action steps and partners. But first! We want to understand (1) what items are top-of-mind and (2) if you have additional input and ideas on implementation measures. A few of the draft recommendations listed currently include…
Expand neighborhood businesses, cafes, and housing types near the Dee Road Metra Station (and other locations);
Foster events (like Restaurant Week!) that support local businesses and economic development;
Regulate and enable renewable energy systems;
Identify opportunities (and locations!) for public art, sculptures, and murals that celebrate the history of Park Ridge;
Promote green infrastructure solutions that help reduce community-wide flooding, such as permeable pavers, rain gardens, bioswales, and native plantings;
