Niles 2040 Comprehensive Plan

The Village of Niles has started the engagement process to update its Comprehensive Plan to help guide the future actions of the community. Niles 2040 will guide the future development, improvement and preservation of the community. The present time has shown us that the way we live, work, shop, connect, and recreate is constantly evolving. People have new expectations and aspirations for the places they call home. We want to make Niles the best it can be now and into the future.

The Niles 2040 Comprehensive Plan will explore how the Village can better understand and address these changing times, such as a radically changed retail environment; transportation mobility innovations; an aging population; evolving housing preferences; changing work and commuting habits; and an increased focus on environmental issues and sustainability. The Village is strategically pursuing a planning process to anticipate these changes and harness opportunity to create a resilient, well-designed, livable community that represents the aspirations and values of its residents. It's possible here!

Intersection Improvements/Widening (please see description)

There's too much traffic and lane blockage for those wanting to turn left or right, specifically on Milwaukee Avenue. I would love to see intersection improvements or widening. Places that I propose are Milwaukee/Touhy/Waukegan, Milwaukee/Oakton, Milwaukee/Dempster, Milwaukee/Golf, Greenwood/Golf, and Touhy/Caldwell. Maybe build dual left lane turns (especially on Milwaukee/Golf), add 1 or 2 right lanes to all intersections, or make right/left lane longer. I feel it would improve traffic flow and save time from idling. I would like to see what people are thinking about this idea.

We should NOT consider catering to the YMCA . They appear to have a number of issues that do not make them a viable non-profit beneficial

to a community. As a non-profit, the 2 officers took salaries of $1,041,000 which to say mildly is financially obscene. They do not hold good standing with the secretary of state. They are shown to be insolvent per their financials. They appear not to be paying principal on their debt obligations ( $12 million ) , only interest payments... not sound fiscal management - but managed to pay over one million $ to 2 officers . Their properties are in disrepair , crumbled bricks, rusted doors , decrepit windows . Their buildings cannot be re-purposed . They would cost millions to tear down . They bring NO tax revenues to our village. Their most recent tax report is public and is on file with the Illinois Attorney Gen as required as all charities must do. Unfortunately cannot up load on this site platform.

I would really like to see Milwaukee Ave., from Touhy to Oakton, revitalized. Walkable store fronts / restaurants. Currently a hodge podge.

Free Bus to Golf Mill Park and New Entertainment District

Once the Golf Mill Park and new entertainment district is in place, every Niles neighborhood should have easy access to the free bus to conveniently go to and from. This could create more foot traffic from our own community and avoid figuring out parking around Touhy.
