| The village of Carol Stream and the Carol Stream Park District will be partnering on a plan to build a bike path along Kuhn Road. Village trustees agreed Monday to split the costs for a 10-foot-wide asphalt path to be constructed along the west side of Kuhn Road from Lies Road south to the Great Western Trail. The project will eventually provide Carol Stream residents with direct access to the Illinois Prairie Path by way of an underpass at North Avenue. Most of the $1.5 million project cost will be paid for by state and federal grants. The village and park district are responsible for roughly $356,000 of that total tab. Village Manager Joseph Breinig said the village should receive the grant money by the end of the year. Construction on the path should begin sometime next year and be completed by the end of 2008. Village officials say they hope to eventually create a bike system to connect neighborhoods, parks and landmarks in the village. To that end, the village completed a 2.6-mile bike and walking path along Lies Road in 2006 at a cost of $1.4 million. A similar path planned along Fair Oaks Road, which originally was to be a joint project between the village and Wayne Township, has been stalled. |
