In partnership with the Villages of Glenview, Skokie, and Wilmette, Northfield has received two grants to fully fund the Phase II study of the Skokie Valley Trail (SVT).  The SVT is a regional trail which, once completed, will stretch from Chicago to Lake Bluff.  Before the communities can begin the Phase II study, Northfield must first determine the trail’s alignment from Willow to Voltz Road.  Possible route options will be presented and discussed at the August 18 5:30 PM Committee of the Whole meeting.  For the safety of our residents, all public Village meetings will be held via videoconference for the foreseeable future.  More information will be posted as the meeting approaches.
