$1.1M Awarded To Glencoe For New Pedestrian Path

GLENCOE, IL — The Illinois Department of Transportation and Gov. JB Pritzker awarded Glencoe $1,170,720 in Transportation Enhancement Program funding to support an off-street multi-use path

The Green Bay Trail project was one of 66 projects that were awarded funding, which totaled $139.2 million across all projects.

The project will add a 10-footwide off-street multi-use path along the west side of Old Green Bay Road between South Avenue and Hazel Avenue.

The funding, which Gov. Pritzker said was the largest investment in the program's history, was made possible through Rebuild Illinois, which encompasses infrastructure improvements across the state.

“The Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program is a crucial part of Rebuild Illinois, helping make travel safer and more accessible in the communities that need it most,” Gov. Pritzker said."This is just one part of the state’s larger effort to reverse decades of disinvestment and create more connected communities.”
