Schaumburg gets $145,000 grant for pedestrian crossing upgrades
Schaumburg will receive a $145,000 Invest in Cook grant from the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways for mid-block pedestrian crossing improvements at six locations.
The locations include Jane Addams Junior High on Springinsguth Road, Campanelli Elementary School on Springinsguth Road, Hoover Math and Science Academy on Springinsguth Road, Old Schaumburg Road and Aster Drive (Olympic Park), Salem Drive and Aimtree Drive (Salk Park) and Weathersfield Way at Meineke Recreation Center and Pool.
The village will serve as the lead agency for the project to install enhanced visibility crosswalks, ADA-complaint sidewalk ramps, new sidewalk sections, signage and median refuge islands to shorten the crossing distance.
