Did you know that attendance at Village meetings, correspondence and data all indicate that a significant majority of CH residents are opposed to this unsafe, reckless plaza plan? Then WHY does Village leadership keep pushing the downtown plaza? WHY is it still on the table? 

The traffic study originally said no safety countermeasures were needed in 2023. Our traffic and pedestrian patterns were already safe. The latest traffic analysis in 2025 concluded that there were "vehicles backed up almost to the railroad tracks" when they tested the closure of our safe and proven right-turn-fork-escape-lane. Interviews with our merchants also indicate a measurable loss in sales and foot traffic during the week of the test closure in May. So a permanent closure will crush our small businesses.

Opposed residents have packed the last three Town Hall meetings and we will continue to do so. What will it take to get the Village leadership in Clarendon Hills to set this unfeasible, dangerous idea aside for good and stop gambling with this plaza?

1) More Petition signatures. SHARE.

2) More informed neighbors on your street.

3) More emails to the Trustees asking them to STOP this dangerous plan. VillageBoard@ClarendonHills.us

Let's Stop the Plaza once and for all by doing all three of the above now. Or we will be cleaning this mess up for the next two decades like LaGrange, Decatur, Springfield, and Chicago all had to do when their pedestrian plazas FAILED.

Take five minutes right now or decades later.
