Moderator note: these are not the final designs - only illustrations of the redesigns based on the services (and funding) available. Although Llewellyn did the Route 423 presentation to the Board, the pages were in the high-level presentation, so they probably were the consultants' work. Although not being a service plan, the pdf allowed me to magnify it, and one of the things I found interesting was that Dundee Road was considered a Ridership corridor, "Route 260," from Palatine to Highland Park via Dundee Rd., Waukegan Rd., and Deerfield Rd., incorporating Route 471. Currently, parts of the route are covered by 234 and 604, which serve other purposes (604 being an I-90 feeder and 234 being primarily a N-S route to Mt. Prospect and Des Plaines) . But, thinking about it, Highland Park makes more sense to go to Highland Park than, say, straight Dundee Rd. to Glencoe. Going back to the meeting, Dir. Marcucci from DuPage County also expressed skepticism, saying that these concepts ask for more money, but take away what little transit DuPage has (the trunk corridors are about the same). This time the response was that the Board may have to customize service for different communities, but considering that there was pushback from 3 of the 6 counties, I continue to think that Pace didn't get much "bang for its buck," especially when DAR and On Demand were essentially not considered.
