RUN Oak Park

We begin this project as we have with most larger projects we’ve tackled in the past few years….

We begin with a question; "Who can help us?"

The results of the Roosevelt Rd. Corridor Plan that took place in 2025 recommend that an “Additional Crosswalk” be added to Clarence Ave. leading toward FITZGERALDS. (A “Raised Median” as well, but we won’t even be greedy here, let’s just focus on the crosswalk!).

For many years we’ve held our kid’s hands way too tight, physically pushed them behind us to look over the line of parked cars, and ran to the median between passing cars hoping the other lane would stop for us with our own children.

We are aware that because Roosevelt Rd. is a state road, we’re not dealing with Berwyn or Oak Park, we’re dealing with IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation). To be completely up-front and honest, we are not familiar with this process but we know someone out there must be!...

Please feel free to share with your friends and help us out with getting this crosswalk put in, and we appreciate any guidance you have for us 🙏

The little interns are working on improv quilts this summer.

That was the worst possible word combination they could’ve used around Louise.
