Route 30 Corridor Plan: Create a Map of Your Suggested Improvements

Let Village Development Director Robin Ellis know your ideas by participating in the Route 30 Corridor Implementation Plan. Map out the places that you like and don't. Let them know what's attractive and what's an eye sore. 

Maybe you'd like a downtown section where you can stroll to shops and restaurants. If that's the case, then let them know that sidewalks and benches are a must have in the next 10 years.  

A workshop was held last month at Village Hall to gather a wish list from residents about the positive and negative elements along the Route 30 corridor. The village is still seeking your on-line input.

Find the mapping tools for the Route 30 Corridor Implementation Plan and create your own map. 

Check out a few suggestions offered on-line within the Patch-created map and review the visions of others. The map invites comments in eight different categories:

• Community Assets
• Development Priority Sites
• Problematic Intersections
• Public Safety
• Undesirable Use
• Key Transit Destinations
• Desired Use/Development
• Poor Appearance
• Other

To add points to your map, simply zoom to the specific location to add a point and click on the map.  This will open a window where you can add information about your point.  For more assistance, click on the help icon found in the top right hand corner of the map.

Below are some basic controls as well as instructions on how to add points to your map.

Zooming - You can zoom in and out of your map a few different ways. You can click and hold on the slide on the left and drag to zoom in and out. You can click on the + sign on the left to zoom in, and the - to zoom out. Double clicking on the map will also zoom in. You can also zoom in by scrolling the mouse wheel when your cursor is over the map.

Types of Views - The mapping tool lets you toggle between three different views - map, satellite and hybrid. The controls are found in the top right of the map window. Map view is a graphic view of the map. Satellite view is aerial imagery. A hybrid is a combination with streets and street names above an aerial photograph.
