I live on South Street and have concerns about the bike path that runs the length from Western to Kaneville. A study should be done looking at the number of large vehicles that travel the street and the small bike path on each side of the street. There are safety concerns for the bike riders There has been an increased number of semi trucks that travel the road. Also with large trucks that travel from the park district, city of Geneva and now with the possibility of a new police stations is alarming . The number of pick up trucks, and SUV's that speed has become a concern. I have not seen any police on South Street ticketing speeders in a long time. I have concerns for anyone who rides the South Street bike paths.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Karen! I agree that South Street could benefit from improvements; it's my understanding that this corridor will be evaluated in the years ahead.
