The Forest Hills neighborhood in Western Springs has a patchwork of homes with sidewalks and those without. (Google Maps)
WESTERN SPRINGS, IL Western Springs has completed a study on how much it would cost to install sidewalks through the entire 30-block Forest Hills neighborhood.
According to the report, the project would cost $4.6 million for the sidewalks on both sides of the street and $1.8 million for one side.
The one-side option is less than half the cost because the village would choose the less expensive side of streets those with fewer trees and those that already have parts with sidewalks.

Western Springs Village Board members have given up on the idea of rain gardens in the Ridgewood subdivision. (Google Maps)
WESTERN SPRINGS, IL The red signs on yards through Western Springs Ridgewood subdivision had a simple message: No Rain Gardens in Ridgewood.
The residents protests led Village Board members this week to back away from their plan to install rain gardens as a way to reduce flooding.
Residents thought the rain gardens which are ditches where plants absorb rainwater would make the neighborhood less attractive and wouldn t solve the problem in any case.
