Pedestrian Walkway Being Relocated After New Funding In Buffalo Grove

BUFFALO GROVE, IL — A pedestrian walkway that crosses Arlington Heights Road north of Dundee Road will soon be relocated. The Cook County Board of Commissioners announced Monday that a number of transportation-related projects and initiatives led by the County's Department of Transportation and Highways has been approved for funding.

Buffalo Grove will receive $40,000 to relocate the walkway by approximately 400 feet and install new median refuge island serving Buffalo Grove High School and Cooper Middle School.
