Electric shuttle feasibility…The Village and its Environment & Energy Commission are seeking feedback about current transportation options in Oak Park, with a specific focus on whether an electric shuttle could help meet the community’s transportation needs. An online survey is available at www.engageoakpark.com/electric-shuttle. Climate Ready Oak Park, the community’s climate, sustainability and resilience plan, includes a goal to shift from personal vehicles to active transportation and transit. One of the high-impact actions identified under this goal is to assess the feasibility of reintroducing the Oak Park shuttle with an all-electric fleet. Feedback gathered from the survey will help shape future policymaking around this issue.
Consolidated plan for housing and community development…The Village is seeking input from the community as it develops a five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development. Any resident or community stakeholder interested in helping to shape how the Village uses federal funds to assist low- and moderate-income persons, including individuals experiencing homelessness, is invited to complete an online survey at www.engageoakpark.com/consolidated-plan. The survey takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete and will help Village officials establish budget and program priorities.
