5 Major Focus for Kenilworth’s Green Bay Road Plan

Village staff say it's still too early in the process to know the cost of implementing the plan or where funding will come from.

 

Kenilworth’s streetscape plan for the Green Bay Road corridor hopes to address several issues in the coming years, such parking, bicycle mobility, traffic management, pedestrian safety, access to transit and village character, Chicago Tribune reported. 

The Green Bay Road Transportation and Streetscape Plan will focus on five major areas such as opening small retailers in Kenilworth Train Station, the possible Sterling Road closure just south of Green Bay Road to make a cul-de-sac to limit corridor traffic in residential areas and increasing the total number of parking spaces on Richmond Road in front of Village Hall to 49 spaces from 34, Chicago Tribune reported.

The village has an interactive project website where Kenilworth residents and business owners can express their vision, values, concerns, and ideas for the future of the Green Bay Road corridor. The website will be available throughout the planning process, which is expected to continue until May, and is available by clicking the “Green Bay Road Corridor Transportation & Streetscape Plan Interactive Project Website” link on the village’s website.
