For 18 years I have witnessed Hinsdale Central High School students walking to school in weeds and through an uneven and muddy path along the north side of 55th Street between Monroe Street and Madison Street.
Julie Renehan, our DuPage County Board member, shared my concern about student safety and got the new sidewalk funded and included in the county highway construction program. The construction of the walk was completed this past week.
I appreciate everything Julie did to get this work done for the safety and welfare of all those neighborhood kids. — Connie Black, Hinsdale
