CHICAGO – State Senator Bill Cunningham secured $3 million for a sidewalk project near Hazelgreen Elementary School in Alsip. The grant was awarded under the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
“Something as simple as an accessible sidewalk can provide peace of mind to parents who have kids going back a forth from school,” said Cunningham, a Democrat who represents portions of Chicago and the Southwest Suburbs. “This is part of the village’s promise to keep kids safe, and I was glad to play a role in securing the funding.”
