Glencoe’s Sustainability<br />
Task Force hits three years<br />
Submitted by Hall Healy,<br />
Glencoe Sustainability Task<br />
Force<br />
In 2018, the Glencoe<br />
Sustainability Task Force<br />
continued identifying and<br />
implementing a variety<br />
of activities to enhance<br />
Glencoe’s environmental<br />
and financial sustainability.<br />
These efforts were<br />
successful in large part<br />
due to collaborating between<br />
the Village Board<br />
and staff, School District<br />
35, Glencoe Park District,<br />
Glencoe Public Library,<br />
Chamber of Commerce,<br />
Glencoe Rotary, Glencoe<br />
Community Garden and<br />
local businesses.<br />
Of major significance,<br />
the Active Transportation<br />
Alliance, a Chicagobased<br />
nonprofit organization,<br />
conducted an<br />
in-depth study to identify<br />
crossings, roads and sidewalks<br />
considered unsafe<br />
for students, other pedestrians,<br />
bikers and drivers.<br />
The study, paid for<br />
by the Village, District<br />
35 and the Park District,<br />
included numerous public<br />
meetings and analysis<br />
by transportation experts.<br />
The result was a<br />
very inclusive process<br />
and a report making specific<br />
recommendations as<br />
to which areas could be<br />
improved from a safety<br />
perspective. Some of the<br />
steps are being implemented<br />
in 2019.<br />
The Task Force and<br />
staff worked with the Village’s<br />
residential waste<br />
hauler, LRS, to develop<br />
stickers to put onto recycling<br />
bins, describing<br />
what materials can go in<br />
them. These stickers are<br />
being sent to residents<br />
with a letter explaining<br />
their purpose and providing<br />
additional sources of<br />
information. As part of<br />
redoing certain downtown<br />
areas, Staff is looking<br />
at where best to put<br />
recycling bins, along with<br />
improved signage designating<br />
what goes in them.<br />
Bins also are being placed<br />
in strategic locations during<br />
special events such as<br />
the recent Sesquicentennial<br />
kick-off.<br />
LRS is contracted with<br />
to pick up compostables<br />
during spring, summer<br />
and fall; Resident Fred<br />
Miller is spear-heading a<br />
program to have Glencoe<br />
Community Garden pick<br />
up composting from local<br />
businesses, which now<br />

A “ravine alliance” was<br />
created to address ravine<br />
degradation on one specific<br />
ravine. Meetings were<br />
held to discuss causes<br />
of deterioration, reasons<br />
for addressing them, and<br />
what to do about the situation,<br />
including a study<br />
to identify current conditions<br />
and costs of repair.<br />
Recently, the Village was<br />
approached by the Lake<br />
County Stormwater Management<br />
District to fund<br />
such studies for all Glencoe<br />
ravines.<br />
As one step to assist<br />
residents in reducing energy<br />
usage, a “Meatless<br />
Monday” campaign was<br />
initiated by presenting<br />
information to Glencoe<br />
restaurants. Some have<br />
already responded enthusiastically,<br />
with meatless<br />
offerings.<br />
A window sticker and<br />
information campaign<br />
was developed to present<br />
to Glencoe’s businesses<br />
to encourage environmentally<br />
sustainable<br />
management. Over thirty<br />
businesses have now<br />
completed a survey and<br />

35! Join a special tree<br />
planting ceremony on Friday,<br />
April 26, at 2:15 p.m.<br />
at South School, 266 Linden<br />
Ave. This event is just<br />
one of the many ways the<br />
Village shows its commitment<br />
to Glencoe's special<br />
received stickers. Look<br />
for them and thank the<br />
business when shopping<br />
there.<br />
The Task Force has<br />
looked at various ways to<br />
reinforce water conservation<br />
and reduce negative<br />
impacts of stormwater,<br />
the latter including bioswales<br />
and rain gardens.<br />
The Task Force now has<br />
two student volunteers<br />
from Central School.<br />
They are contributing<br />
very positively to our efforts,<br />
most notably with<br />
their opinions about how<br />
best to motivate students<br />
regarding sustainability.<br />
The Task Force is currently<br />
evaluating how to<br />
further focus and leverage<br />
activities most beneficially<br />
for the community,<br />
through goal-setting<br />
and reviewing results.<br />
Awareness building is<br />
part of each initiative and<br />
a variety of methods are<br />
being employed, including<br />
regular updates in the<br />

the Village's dedication,<br />

a Tree City USA<br />
by the Arbor Day foundation<br />
for more than 30<br />
years.<br />
