Local Initiatives

The Village constantly seeks new methods for improving access for bicyclists and the walkability of the community. As part of this the Village has created an official Bicycle Task Force, which meets throughout the year. The Village also has a Master Bicycle Plan which helps guide the development of paths in the area.

The Village also works in partnership with local partners, such as Northbrook Park District, to improve connections between local and regional routes. 

Skokie Valley Trail Extension Project

The Village, in partnership with Cook County, has begun work on an extension of the Skokie Valley Trail. See this page for more information.
