County To Discuss Landwehr Road Improvement Project In Glenview

GLENVIEW, IL — Calling improvements "vital," local officials and Cook County are proposing improvements to Landwehr Road, specifically near Henry Winkelman Elementary School. A proposal by the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways will be discussed as part of a public information meeting on Jan. 16 at the school.

The meeting, which will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., will take place at the school at 1919 Landwehr Road. A stretch of the half-mile road between West Lake Avenue and Hampton Court is where the improvements are being proposed. If the plan is eventually approved, work would begin in 2026.

According to officials, the road "provides access to vital institutions, including schools, hospitals, fire stations and recreation centers." Improvements being discussed include the following:

• Adding new turn lanes at the school entrance
• new sidewalks
• resurfacing the roadway
• refreshing the pavement markings
• drainage improvements

Officials said improvements will address congestion and traffic safety issues the community is experiencing, as well as enhance pedestrian facilities along the corridor. More information and a project flyer are available online.
