The second phase involves the development and implementation of architectural standards for office building development for properties along Greenleaf Street, to include landscape standards, parking lot light standards, architectural design standards, and decorative sign standards.<ref name="lakecountyil.gov"/> The third phase involves developing incentives and encouraging development along the Greenleaf Street corridor in compliance with the architectural standards. The first phase was accomplished, and streetlights and sidewalks were installed, the lights were turned on and the sidewalks were open to the public in a ceremony that took place on November 8, 2012. The second phase was accomplished through the adoption of the Greenleaf Street Overlay Zoning District on May 21, 2009, which provides the development standards for construction on Greenleaf Street, and phase three started with the completed construction of the Lake County Branch Court Complex on Greenleaf Street. Phase three is not yet completed, and there are properties yet to be developed on the corridor. Park City has an aggressive policy on traffic enforcement, and the police department is one of the top agencies in the issuance of traffic citations, including DUI enforcement.<ref name="Chicago Tribune speed trap">{{cite news|title=Chicago's top-ticketing suburbs|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2010/12/18/chicagos-top-ticketing-suburbs/|access-date=26 May 2012|newspaper=Chicago Tribune|date=18 December 2010|first=Joe|last=Mahr|author2=Christy Gutowski}}</ref>
