Provide feedback to help shape policymaking

Nov. 5, 2024 - The Village is seeking feedback from residents and other stakeholders about a range of topics including economic vitality in Oak Park and whether an electric shuttle could help meet the community's tranportation needs. 

Providing feedback is easier than ever with the Village's Engage Oak Park website at www.engageoakpark.com, which serves as a landing point for residents and other community stakeholders who wish to provide input, share ideas and influence policymaking related to various local issues.

Find information below about some of the current projects where feedback is being sought: 

Economic vitality

The Village is currently seeking input to help shape the future of economic vitality in Oak Park.

With strategic planning already underway, an anonymous survey is now available that will allow residents and other stakeholders to provide feedback on the community’s current business composition and environment, as well as ways to improve the existing mix.

To complete the brief survey, please visit www.engageoakpark.com/economic-vitality-strategy.

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.

Disability access in Oak Park

The Village’s Disability Access Commission is looking to hear from residents about the most pressing needs for individuals with disabilities in Oak Park.

An online survey is available at www.engageoakpark.com/disability-access.
