Concept depicts new transit-friendly enhancements in a prototypical suburban downtown with a rail station: new mixed-use and residential development on underutilized parking and vacant lots, multi-family housing redevelopment near the train station, enhanced pedestrian connections to/from transit, and a new public gathering space

For this urban train station and bus route concept, transit-friendly enhancements include: infill residential and commercial development on vacant lots, a bikeshare station, and enhanced crosswalks to make pedestrian crossings safer

Transit-friendly enhancements to a prototypical bus corridor: new residential with increased densities and commercial development on underutilized parking lots, pedestrian connections from the bus stops and sidewalks to building entrances, a new public gathering space, and narrower roadways and enhanced crosswalks to make pedestrian crossings safer

The guide includes graphics depicting optimal land use densities needed to support high-frequency transit

Two community pop-ups engaged Wilmette families as they were attending existing community events

Wilmette residents shared hundreds of ideas on an online interactive comment map, noting things and places they love, issues, opportunities, and ideas

Teska prepared conceptual graphics to depict potential future development to convey goals of the plan and serve as a starting point for discussion with developers

Four community events titled “Wilmette Talks” featured presentations and panel discussions with local experts on various planning themes, followed by discussion from community members
