A task force recommends $54 million in land IDOT bought to extend Route 53 be converted to a Lake County greenway and natural areas.
A state task force on Friday recommended that hundreds of acres bought by the Illinois Department of Transportation to extend Route 53 be converted to a greenway.
"It's so important at this time in our world that we're preserving natural areas, that we're making sure we have places that not just sustain our souls, but sustain the planet," task force Co-Chairwoman and state Sen. Melinda Bush said."And we won't have to 'rewild' this -- because it's going to stay this way,"
"If we keep growing, eventually there will be need for another corridor in central Lake County, and it is Mundelein's position it would not be good governance to forever doom central Lake County to be traffic-impacted," Lentz said previously. The task force resolution strongly recommends IDOT officials transfer all their state-owned interests in land bought for Route 53 to IDNR,"reserving to IDOT the minimum easements, rights of way, or interests necessary for roadway improvement projects adjacent to state highways that are in progress or budgeted" currently.
"Basically, it'll put an encumbrance on the properties that will make it very difficult for the state to utilize that for transportation purposes," Baczek said.
