Village of Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn has a main street worth protecting and a steady queue of proposals that would sit next to it. The downtown here is built from the village’s own lidar, so a proposed building can be dropped in and judged from the sidewalk opposite rather than from a rendering chosen by its architect.
