What would you like to see done in Glendale?
I often hear from many residents on what they would like to see in Glendale. For example, some time ago there was a strong need for a community bank and after much discussion, the administration was able to attract 5/3 Bank to move to Glendale and rent/restore a village owned buiding where they operate today. Another example was when there was a strong desire to find a new location for the Glendale Heritage Preservation and to see the old train depot saved from demolition by CSX railroad. With great effort, the administration obtained the building for $1, split the costs to restore it with GHP, watched dozens of GHP volunteers work as a team to physically restore the inside and now we have a unique museum partnership between GHP and the Village.
Feedback from the residential population is a valuable tool which brings forth creative ideas. Feel free to list anything you would like to see done in Glendale. You never know!

I think it would be really cool if Glendale could obtain an old steam locomotive to park alongside the depot. It may be too expensive and I don't know where one would go shopping for a steam engine, but it would certainly be an attraction and a great addition to the square.

I agree with you and often thought it would be nice to have a caboose or locomotive at the south end of the depot in the yard. I'll pass your idea on to Police Chief Matt Fruchey; he is a local expert on locomotives. At one point we almost received a caboose from the railroad (but did not) ...that would have been nice as well.

Yes, a caboose would be nice too. Whatever happened to the one on Chester Road at that restaurant? Maybe that restaurant chain still has one they don't need. What was the name of that place? Victoria's Station? Something like that.

As someone who walks and bikes for exercise I would like to see a safe connector from Glendale to Glenview Gardens' walking trail and its future bike trail, which will connect to Winton Woods' trail system.
