Sheridan Road Water Main Work Continues
Extensive project is replacing one mile of water main and will require detours for motorists and bicyclist until mid-August; village warns of safety concerns in the area.
Water main improvements for close to a mile along Sheridan Road will continue throughout the summer.

Willow Road Could See Roadwork by 2015
With recommendations on the table for two or four lanes, Willow Road may be ready for the next step.
Officials and residents from four North Shore suburbs butted heads over a 1.2-mile stretch of road during Thursday night's meeting at New Trier Township High School in Northfield.

Northfield: Massage Parlors Must Have Licenses
The village will now keep tabs on such businesses to help crackdown on criminal activities. McDonald's is also looking for another space in Northfield.
In light of recent speculation that a massage parlor might be moving to Northfield, the Village Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to adopt an ordinance that forces all “massage establishments” to register a business license with the municipality. Before it adopted home rule, the village did not have this authority, but now all massage establishments will have to obtain an annual business license and provide copies of their valid state licenses from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations. Additionally, all massage therapists and employees will be subject to criminal background checks. The recent interest in massage parlors comes four months after the Northfield Police Department busted a massage establishment at …

It is already a two lane road. Adding a median (which I assume will be a left turn lane) will not help because most traffic during rush hour is through-traffic. The bottlenecks are mainly at the stop lights--and there are already left turn lanes at all of the major intersections in Northfield. The only solution to traffic flow is four lanes; however, it might help to re-time the traffic signals … more ›
