Galesburg will receive a grant to provide safer active transportation options for K-8 students.
Govenor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation Wednesday announced $12.3 million in grants for local projects that will help boost the health and safety of children via safer walking and biking routes to school. The Safe Routes to School program is funding 57 projects selected from 102 applications received from municipalities and schools across the state.
One of the those projects will award $250,000 to Galesburg, for new sidewalks, crossings, and ADA curbs and ramps near King elementary and Lombard junior high schools.
