Comprehensive Plan Review Committee

The committee reviewing the comprehensive plan met on Wednesday (12/26). They seem to be making progress. Here are the highlights:

They decided to narrow their focus on changes to a list of less than 10 items. This will make it more managable for both the council and the CA (once hired).

Discussion of the city's demographic data. Note: I found this bit of discussion to be ironic, since it was apparent that the committee itself was not diverse in respect to age and race. I have since mentioned this to both the mayor and Mark Giroux (the committee chair) in hopes that future such committees might be more representative of the population.

A lot of discussion on transportation issues, including any Metrolink expansion that would go to Westport Plaza.

Economic Development. Included a hand-out from the Elmhurst City Planner that was a recent guest to Overland courtesy of the Overland Business Association.

They made plans to meet again on Wednesday, January 30.
