What are your thoughts on the following statement:

The Village of Hawthorn Woods should pursue land and federal funds to locate a commuter rail station near Village Hall.

The Village should acquire land for the development of a comprehensive bike and pedestrian path to connect our residential subdivisions to each other and to the schools, parks, and proposed downtown area along Midlothain Road.

Eastern Lake County has in place a North-South transportation route that is a toll road (I-294). The Village of Hawthorn Woods should support a North-South transportation route for western Lake County.

Hawthorn Woods currently uses a Traditional Subdivision Model with lots at a minimum of one acre. Under the Conservation Subdivision Model , homes are clustered on smaller lots to leave more open space but take up the same amount of space as a conventional subdivision. For example, a Traditional Subdivision (left) with 55 homes on two-acre lots would fill a 130 acre site, while a Conservation Model Subdivision (right) with 55 homes on ¾-acre lots would leave more than half of the 130 acre site as natural open space.

The Village of Hawthorn Woods should allow Conservation Model Subdivisions in cases where woodlands, wetlands, or other natural resources are present.
