Public Engagement Survey on Pedestrian Accessibility!

The Village of Glen Ellyn is developing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to improve access for all residents. As part of this process, we’re asking community members to share their experiences using sidewalks and pedestrian routes throughout the Village.

Complete the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GlenEllynADA
The survey will be open through July 31st.

If there are specific locations where you’ve experienced challenges, you can provide input on our interactive map: https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/glen-ellyn-ada?tool=map

Printed surveys are available at the Civic Center. Let us know how we can help improve pedestrian access in Glen Ellyn!
