  • (SVT). to Ensure All Residents Stay Informed, We Thought It Would Be Helpful to Provide You with Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions
    May 20, 2019 Dear Northfield Resident, The Village has received questions regarding the planned Skokie Valley Trail (SVT). To ensure all residents stay informed, we thought it would be helpful to provide you with answers to the most frequently asked questions. Q: What is the SVT? A: The SVT is a linear multi-modal connection that stretches from Rockland Road in Lake Bluff to West Bryn Mawr Avenue in Chicago, where it links to the North Branch Trail. Completing Northfield’s segment of the trail has been a goal in the Village’s Comprehensive Plan since 1999, with little progress. In 2008, the Village partnered with the Villages of Glencoe, Glenview, Northbrook, and Wilmette to complete a Feasibility Study. This study showed that complete construction of the SVT would fill a critical transportation need as a dedicated off-street route for bicyclists and pedestrians throughout the North Shore. The SVT was classified as a Tier One corridor by the Northwest Municipal Conference in their 2010 Bicycle Plan, indicating that its construction would provide the highest positive regional impact. In 2012, the SVT was voted a “regionally significant project” by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. Q: What are the three phases of the proposed SVT project? A: A project of this sort encompasses three phases. In the first phase, engineers conduct an in-depth investigation of the project’s logistical, environmental, safety, and economic elements. In the second phase, detailed construction documents are developed. Finally, in the third phase, the project is constructed.

Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, the rhythm section of the Count Basie Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabacken, Ed Shaugnessy, Clark Terry, Louie Bellson, Jamie Aebersold, Bobby Shew, and more than 50 others.

There will be many activities for children and adults. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about social services and the children can play and have fun. During the event, there will be an open house of the Village Hall’s newly remodeled 2nd floor.
