One of the good quality planning organization's in the Chicagoland area is the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning which is doing some excellent work. They sent me some information in the form of a survey so I figured why not get Round Lake involved at this grass roots building for the future. After all why not weight our opinions!Metropolitan Chicago needs a long-term vision for the future to define the desired standards of prosperity and livability for its residents. With projections of an additional 2 million residents and over 1.2 million new jobs by 2040, communities across the seven-county region of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will must plan more collaboratively and comprehensively.
Anticipated growth can become real progress if all stakeholders -- including local governments, public agencies, developers, businesses, and especially residents -- work together to define and implement a regional vision of sustainable prosperity.
The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is developing the region's first truly comprehensive plan for land use and transportation. To be published in 2010, the plan will articulate a regional vision based on a number of themes that have been identified by CMAP's working committees. This survey is a chance for you to provide input to the regional vision.
