Our members attended many meetings with members of local and state government in an
attempt to keep the inevitable widening of US Highway 45 from destroying the village.
The efforts were rewarded when the Illinois Department of Transportation detailed their
plans for the bypass to the west of the village.
Lake County and the Illinois Department of Transportation
are conducting a new study to determine whether the route proposed
years ago is still the most beneficial one. Updated information can be
