County’s major Oakton Street project in Skokie to begin soon

....Specifically, the project will target the 1.8-mile corridor between the intersections of Skokie Boulevard and McCormick Boulevard. County officials previously described this stretch of roadway as one that “provides access to vital institutions in Skokie, including schools, parks, recreation centers and numerous businesses.”

Proposed changes from the county include a modification of the existing lane configuration to shift from two lanes to one lane in each direction (with a center left turn lane), on-street bike lanes and parking along “the majority of the corridor,” roadway resurfacing, updated pavement markings and upgrades to the CTA bus stops, per county documents.
