Bus Shelter Permit Win Clears Way for RTA Shelters
Richton Park wins permit surmounting county liability hurdles after a direct appeal to Cook County State's Attorney Bernard Carey. Shelters funded by the Regional Transportation Authority will be installed on Sauk Trail and on Cook county highways where permissions were previously blocked. Concrete shortages threaten timely placement, with Homewood delaying two shelters to spring pending insurance approvals.
