County balks at joint plan to curb Thorn creek drownings
Cook county officials refuse to join a four agency effort to prevent drownings at Thorn creek near Beacon boulevard and Campbell street in Chicago Heights. Park Forest and Chicago Heights officials, along with the railroad, urged quick action to fill the deep pool, erect a headwall fence, and install a guardrail and warning sign after two children died at the site in four years. The forest preserve district opposes fences on its land, citing public access.
