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 route alignment from Willow to Voltz Road.
Click here to view a detailed report of the route options. These options will be discussed by the Village Board at their August 18 5:30 PM Committee of the Whole meeting. Out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of our residents, all public Village meetings will be held via videoconference for the foreseeable future.
