Hope for a North Walnut Street parking garage, plus some area beautification, remains.
In the past few months, more than 30 copies of the village’s request for proposals (RFP) for the North Walnut Street Redevelopment Area were distributed.
Last Monday, when the responses were due, four developers returned proposals.
These developers are: Kensington Senior Development, Langan, M&M Development and D&R Ridgewood LLC, according to Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld.
And all have offered mixed-use options.
“We have taken a very rough look at the proposals – there are about six or seven options from the four developers. Each proposal has a significant parking component – we required this in the RFP. The proposals are mixed use with either residential coupled with retail and/or office, assisted living coupled with retail or retail alone,” Sonenfeld said in an email last week.
According to Sonenfeld, the team now reviewing these proposals includes herself, Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser, Village Planner Blais Brancheau, Councilwoman Gwenn Hauck and one or more members of the Financial Advisory Committee.

Lets hear from Dom on this. What your thoughts, or do you have to speak to the Mayor before you post.
I’m sending a bill for my advice now — The Village knows what it has to do. Encourage them to follow the planners advice now and let’s move forward.
Don’t get caught up in all these heavy rains — but, move ahead.
Follow the planners advice you must be kidding.
Dom send the bill to your buddies the Mayor and Big Al the Developers Friend.
Dom you charge for bullshit?
Of course it’s better than what is offered by these Blog editors whose credentials are not verified.
And what are credentials Dom ? Self appoint Mayor of Roberts St.
just build something it looks like shit.
