“A play space for kids in town – by the side of the library would be ideal. Community gardens!”

“Desired Improvement: Our commitment to sustainability needs to be part of our Comprehensive Plan (including our desired outcome, short and long term objectives, and a way for us to measure progress and success).”

“Things I love: small town feel, though there are still plenty of things to do. All of the summertime activities: concerts in the park, taste of PR, craft beer fest. Beautiful homes that are well cared for make it fun just to walk and explore. Pickwick, the library, Hodges Park.”

PARK RIDGE TODAY

PARK RIDGE’S FUTURE

Individual block parties so we all know neighbors; pop-up events; Spice house

like Evanston; and events at Prospect and NE park.

I very much support the idea of more affordable housing in Park Ridge and

hope a housing plan will be part of our comprehensive plan.

My two biggest concerns about PR life are: flooding and airplane noise.

“I would love to see more things like Restaurant Week, where we are

encouraged and enticed to support our local businesses. I love to shop local

whenever I can. Something that would tie in our local nonprofits, the library, city hall and our local stores and restaurants

would be amazing.”

“The arterial & collector streets are designed for high speed thru-traffic - Dee

Rd and Busse Hwy + NW hwy west of Uptown in particular have a lot of room for

improvement. Making these streets more compatible with walking and cycling would improve businesses viability / development,

reduce dependence on cars for short trips, and increase real estate value.”
