The "Valley Line Trail" is under construction now by Chicagoland Paving Contractors, adding a couple of miles to the existing Sauganash bike-ped trail into Lincolnwood along a ComEd right-of-way.

It's to be done by mid-late July, a 12 foot wide asphalt path with 2 foot gravel shoulders, extending North from Devon Ave. to Jarvis. Next Summer an overpass is to be built. for the Touhy Ave. crossing.

Not a lot of press on this, but if you'd like details go to:http://www.lincolnwoodil.org/resident-services/infrastructure-proje...

The nearby "North Branch Trail" Project along Central Avenue from Edgebrook to Forest Glen is really moving along despite funding shortfalls. Both the river bridge and the railroad bridge (pretty impressive multiple spans, too) are in place and soon to be in service.

The last on that project was Heather Cherone's excellent overview in March:
