A survey conducted among over 1,000 Prospect Heights residents shows strong support for the reconfiguration of Underhill Avenue, with 63% in favor of new measures like bike lanes and traffic calming initiatives. Despite this, only 48% expressed satisfaction with the street's layout, suggesting a preference for different configurations. The community remains divided over the changes, indicating significant debate around lost parking and traffic management, especially for large deliveries. While the modifications have enhanced pedestrian and cyclist safety, they may not cater to all community segments, prompting calls for further evaluation by the DOT.
