About this Article

Antioch is situated amid a bounty of natural areas and other attractions, but getting from one to another on foot or bike can be a challenge. Village officials, with assistance from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and public input, want to change that by connecting the dots via a greenway system from the Chain O` Lakes to the Des Plaines River.
