Last year, the Wilmette Park District’s Board of Park Commissioners proposed a comprehensive plan of renovations, improvements and new construction for Gillson and Langdon parks. Ultimately, the voters did not approve the referenda related to the proposed plan. We are now trying to develop a new plan that carefully reflects the wishes of our community.
As part of our effort to listen closely to the voices of all residents, community-wide surveys were put in the mail at the start of this month. This is a critical opportunity to express your suggestions for improvements to the Wilmette Lakefront. With this survey, we will determine public opinion and preferences for changes to the Lakefront infrastructure.
We encourage you to participate in this survey. Voice your ideas and share your viewpoint about our Lakefront, and help determine the future of our parks. It is only with your help that we can provide the best solutions to meet the needs of the community; therefore, we strongly urge you to participate and help us understand how best to serve you.
Thank you in advance for joining us in our effort to make our lakefront parks beautiful and safe for generations to come.
Respectfully,
John J. Olvany
President
Board of Park Commissioners
Wilmette Park District
