Keeping Up on Willow Road

 

The Lakota Study was an independent study of Willow Road done in cooperation with the Villages of Winnetka and Northfield. Members of the Steering Committee included representatives of both Village Boards and staffs and was facilitated by The Lakota Group, a Chicago-based urban design and planning firm. The study was conducted in 2007-2008 and was done in conjunction with Senator Jeff Schoenberg’s office and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).

 

The Lakota Study, which incorporated the principles of IDOT’s Context Sensitive Solutions policy, developed a roadway plan using a community-led process, shared visions and values that maintain and enhance each community’s character and quality of life. The final consensus of the study overwhelming indicated a preference for a three lane Willow Road rather than four lanes.
