Tollway Board to Consider Rt. 53 Project
 On Thursday, June 28, the Lake County Tollway Board will consider the Illinois Route 53/120 Blue Ribbon Advisory Council's recommendation to move forward with the Illinois Route 53/120 Corridor project in Lake County. The council's report outlines a project that protects environmental concerns while creating a 'modern parkway' envisioned for the region. The council was co-chaired by myself and George Ranney, President and CEO of Metropolis Strategies. The recommendations reflect the will of the diverse group of people including local elected officials, transportation and planning agencies and environmental, civic, business and labor representatives. If this project is important to you, please attend the Illinois Tollway Board meeting on June 28 and share your comments.
Meeting time and location:

Illinois Tollway Central Administration Building
