An engineering and transportation safety study is currently in progress to improve student safety in Buffalo Grove school zones. The initiative, conducted with the Village of Wheeling, brings together civil engineers, transportation experts, and school administrators to identify possible traffic safety improvements along major roads used by students traveling to and from school.
The study is funded through the Invest In Cook Program provided by the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. Organizers say more information will be shared with the public in coming months, including opportunities for community involvement.
“We’re working to make Buffalo Grove streets safer for our students! An engineering and transportation safety study for our Cook County school zones is currently underway. Working in partnership with the Village of Wheeling, the study will bring together civil engineers, transportation experts, and school administrators to identify future traffic safety improvements to protect students on their way to and from school, especially along major thoroughfares,” according to a statement released about the project.
“This study is made possible by funding from the Invest In Cook Program through the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. Keep an eye out for additional information and ways to get involved in the months ahead!” organizers added.
