Green Corridor Canvas: Day of Action

136 North Southport Road,Mundelein IL 60060

28 August, 2021

Description

Join us in Mundelein, IL for a Day of Action and help collect feedback from a frontline community. Meet at 11 am in the parking lot of Scott Brown Park, 136 N Southport Rd, Mundelein, IL 60060. We will be canvassing until 3 pm, so if you can't make it right at 11 am no worries! The decade's long campaign to stop the Rt. 53 extension and protect the 800+ acres of undeveloped state-owned land in [the now-defunct] highway's corridor is ramping up its efforts after the State of Illinois passed a resolution earlier this year that formed an official Task Force to study alternative uses of the land. We will be gathering petition signatures in support of protecting one of the county's crown-jewels of open space. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve a vast swath of land that belongs to the public. We will be going door-to-door around this subdivision to gather petition signatures and need all the help we can get! We chose this subdivision because it is a FRONTLINE in this campaign, as the corridor literally cuts this neighborhood in half. We want to help ensure that instead of a tollway or corporate development cutting through the heart of this community, it will be afforded a beautiful multi-use green corridor for kids and grownups alike to adventure and play in. Come out and help make this dream a reality! We need all hands on deck for this one! Bring: Walking Shoes, sun protection (shades, hat, sunscreen, etc), water bottle, mask, small bottle of hand sanitizer, fanny pack or whatever else you might want while canvassing CONTACT: Sam Beard [email protected] (630) 453-3155
