THE WINNETKA CURRE<strong>NT</strong><br />
Stormwater improvement<br />
project plans in limbo<br />
Following months at the<br />
drawing board with Strand<br />
Associates and the Cook<br />
County Forest Preserve,<br />
members of the Winnetka<br />
Village Council explained<br />
that they still do not have<br />
an action plan for the<br />
stormwater management<br />
and improvement project<br />
facing western and southwestern<br />
Winnetka.<br />
Trustee Chris Rintz,<br />
who led the discussion at<br />
the Village’s Feb. 7 meeting,<br />
stressed that although<br />
the team has not reached<br />
a consensus, it eliminated<br />
a handful of drafts that<br />
would not meet the community’s<br />
needs.<br />
Strand’s initial plan, presented<br />
in early 2016, targeted<br />
Cook County’s Hibbard<br />
Road Preserve, Duke<br />
Childs Field and Crow Island<br />
Woods Park as potential<br />
water storage locations.<br />
However, the project was<br />
met with strong opposition<br />
by Winnetka residents<br />
and was later dismissed by<br />
the Village. Still, Strand<br />
and the Village Council<br />
are hopeful they can use<br />
Duke Childs Field for underground<br />
water storage<br />
in their next recommendation.<br />
