Push to transfer the Route 53 right of way for greenway continues with grassroots effort lcfpd idot_illinois illinoisdnr
The Midwest Sustainability Group is seeking funds for a campaign to have the Illinois Department of Transportation transfer a swath of land in central Lake County to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which would preserve it as open space and possibly a state park.
Midwest Sustainability wants to prime the pump with various activities and outreach. That included collecting about 400 signatures during last month's Lake County Fair on a petition asking Gov. J.B. Pritzker and elected officials to have the property transferred to"relevant conservation agencies," said Barbara Klipp, the group's executive director.

It was acquired by IDOT over 48 years as the state considered extending Route 53 north. Those plans were formally dropped in 2019.
