Preparation for Ryder Cup Traffic
The 39th Ryder Cup is being held at Medinah Country Club during the week of September 24th - 28th, 2012. With this being a very popular event, we are anticipating increased traffic in the Itasca area during the week of the Ryder Cup.
The following information regarding road closures in the vicinity of the Ryder Cup has been shared with our district. Within a quote shown below, please see the information provided to us from officials associated with the Ryder Cup.
"In order to decrease traffic around Lake Park High School and Medinah Country Club, the Illinois State Police and DuPage County have recommended closing all thru traffic on Medinah Road between Lake Street and Irving Park Road, Acacia Lane between Medinah Road and Foster Avenue and Spring Court between Temple Drive and Lake Park High School. Upon request, each address located along the closed roads will receive a limited number of vehicle parking hang tags allowing access to their residence. The road closures begin September 24th with hang tag enforcement to access the closed roads starting on September 25th and continuing thru September 30th."
In Itasca School District, we are making every attempt to prepare for the heavy traffic as we transport our bussed students to and from school. |
