Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; and sidewalk / parking lot.

The project is proposed as a 3.4 mile, 10' wide, east-west shared-use path throughout the northern Arlington Heights area, connecting the Palatine Trail to the Prospect Heights Bike Path and providing community access to apartments, shops, and parks along the path. This proposed trail has been identified as a high priority project by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission and is in the adopted Village of Arlington Heights Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (2017), which can be viewed online, as well as in CMAP's Regional Greenway and Trails Plan, which can be viewed online. Conceptually, the shared-use path is proposed to follow existing Commonwealth Edison online right-of-way (ROW) corridor and begins just east of E Sanborn Trail at its crossing with the Palatine Trail. The path then follows the online ROW across IL 53, crosses Rand Rd at its intersection with Hintz Rd, crosses Arlington Heights Rd, and three neighborhood streets at a mid-block crossing. The path continues along the ComEd ROW, crossing Windsor Dr, where a spur will connect to Lake Arlington's path, and crosses Schoenbeck Rd, heading south to connect with the Prospect Heights Bike Path. This project is the recipient of the Community Project Funding Grant FY24.
