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!

Niles scattered and irregular geography works against any multi-social gathering for food/errands/shopping for foot traffic.

A lot of the Village still has OLD Mercury Vapor Street Lights that barely give off any light. When will Niles get new LED Street Lights?

Clean up the many run down vacant buildings-especially on Milwaukee Ave
Do like Morton Grove and pressure the owners of the many empty unkept businesses to clean up their businesses or fine them!. The transmission building on Milwaukee at BIrchwood has been empty for many many years, has broken windows and is unusable. The empty old Ideal Uniform Cleaning Facility on Waukegan Rd across from Big Blue has sat idle for just as many years and would be a great place for a small park for that part of town. And Golf Mill- make it like it used to be; open stores-like Old Orchard or The Glen with some housing. Work with the owner to retain the property but to be creative with redevelopment- much like Morton Grove did at Dempster & Waukegan. It is a huge piece of property with transportation available. Or a mini version of the Glen with additional housing (but work with the schools if housing is considered as the impact of more kids could easily cause a problem if there isnt enough space for more classrooms). The movie theater, Target and some of the smaller stores would get better exposure if the mall was not enclosed. Golf Mill is a scary ghost town with many non Niles people in the area as they travel up and down Milwaukee from Chicago to Libertyville. With this type of transportation right to GOlf Mill, make it customer friendly with specialty shops as well as chain stores.

I think upgrading or completely changing the Golf Mill shopping center would greatly benefit Niles because of all the teens in the area
