ALGONQUIN – In order to help establish a vision for a revitalized downtown, the village is asking the public for its input through an online survey that is part of a downtown planning study being compiled for the village.

People are asked to rate their satisfaction with downtown Algonquin from different perspectives, including shopping, dining, traffic, parking, pedestrian access, bicycle access, special events and safety.

The Downtown Planning Study comes as the Illinois Department of Transportation plans to put in a western bypass to divert traffic, such as heavy truck traffic and through traffic, away from the intersection of Routes 62 and 31.
