from the Cook County Safe Routes to School and Active Living Steering Committees

The Cook County Safe Routes to School Committee, in collaboration with the Active Living Steering Committee, is looking for the community’s input on the temporary traffic change devices that were in place during the Highway 61 construction season. Please complete the attached survey to help us determine how the added traffic change devices affected your safety and confidence at these locations. Thank you!
