Want to add one more comment on this. I believe what stalled this was multifaceted. This was 15 years ago now. Many of those residents who were pushing for this have ether aged out, moved on, or moved out. Many of the influential folks who I am sure were involved are In Those categories which also means the money to back them has left.
I hope this can change but the money that once existed in the business owners who lived here and supported these projects is one change that us long time residents have been very concern about in the shift I. The nieboorhood.
I know we pay a fairly high tax but I. The end we do have very good services even compared to niebooring might higher tax rate towns.
Thanks for the info I will be messaging the village board and I hope others do to.
I would much rather see a green space at what will soon be the former kiddie coral. A green space is very minimal upkeep cost. Which for me is always a much better park option
Appreciate the comment. Since we're having our conversation on parks this weekend, I thought it would be good to add some more background. I was not aware that the village considered making a list, which to me makes sense. It's still a good idea. —Kevin Gosztola
Spot on. Green space is a premium asset for communities.
A favorite park, Welles Park in Chicago is engaging for young and old alike. What creates these special areas is the long term planning that has gone into them.
There are trained experts who do this work and that is what EP needs. The community could make this area so much more than it is.
People crave tree lined streets, natural parks with playgrounds and restaurants and retail they can walk to. EP can catch up, but there is work to be done.

Hopefully some change can be made in trajectory. But I am a little worried the has already started down the hill and cannot be changed.
