Harlem Avenue to Get Stop and Go Signs Across Communities
The writer notes that Harlem avenue is being equipped with stop and go signs at key junctions with Lake, Chicago and Division streets as part of a growing trunk thoroughfare linking River Forest Oak Park and surrounding areas. Forest Park and Oak Park are expected to follow, with Harlem poised to become Cook county’s longest street when extended from the county line to Will county. Traffic is already heavy and gaps in paving remain, hindering smooth drives along the route.
