LA GRANGE, IL – A commercial building owner asked the La Grange Village Board on Monday for a crosswalk on North La Grange Road.

Pero Delic, owner of 140 N. La Grange Road, said tenants have requested the crosswalk across the four-lane road at Brewster Lane.

His building, which is at the southwest corner, includes businesses such as La Grange Nail, Studio 8 Cosmetology, Color Couture Salon and Philip Wagner American Family Insurance.

In response to Delic's request, Village President Mark Kuchler said the road is a state highway and that the village was "very limited" in putting in crosswalks.
