Wilmette seeks faster through highway linked to regional plan
W W DeBerard, Wilmette trustee and Chicago Regional Planning Association engineer, urged Rotary members to push Wilmette’s share of the new regional through highway. He cited Main street widening, condemnation delays, and extensions toward Evanston and Chicago as key steps in a broader plan to improve cross-suburban routes into the city. He noted the association offers guidance, not power, but has won cooperation for extending the highway network within fifty miles of Chicago.
