Excellent read of the history of this great resource. I'm so glad I still get to walk the trails I used as a kid. It's a great place to bring active dogs (always bring your own bags and pack it out with you) and just get away from the hustle

But Toni Preckwinkle has definitely not had as good a tenure as the impression given. There is still a clear bias for Cook County resources to go to her favored constituencies over those she does not (county roads in South suburban Markham, Harvey, CCH and Matteson are repaved 2-3x before areas like Crestwood, Oak Forest, Tinley or Orland - E.g., Central Ave near George Dunne Golf Course in the southern Forest Preserves has been in dire need for 10+ years)
