Cook County Commissioner Jeffrey Tobolski (D-16th District) and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle (D-Chicago) are happy to announce that three municipalities have received funding from Cook County’s Invest in Cook grant for proposed transportation improvements. The three local governments located within the 16th District that received the transportation-related investment projects are the Villages of Lyons, Summit, and Brookfield. Lyons received $45,000 for the Salt Creek Trail; Summit received $8,000 for the 61st Place at Archer Road Rapid Flashing Beacon installation; and Brookfield received $85,000 for the 31st Street Corridor Impact Study. Invest in Cook is an $8.5 million program that covers the cost of planning and feasibility studies, engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and construction associated with transportation improvements sponsored by local and regional governments and private partners. Commissioner Tobolski is currently working towards additional funding for other municipalities in the 16th District that applied for the Invest in Cook program.
