“BRONZEVILLE TRAIL” SOIL TESTING SCHEDULED BY COOK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY
On Monday June 22, 2026, at 9:30 AM at 40th and State Street, Chicago, IL, the Cook County Department of Environment & Sustainability has scheduled environmental soil testing from the top of the Kenwood ‘L’ Embankment to get an idea of the condition of the soil after almost seventy years of non-passenger service. Contractors will hoist drilling and other equipment to the top of the embankment. This will represent the first physical manifestation that the Bronzeville Trail Development Project is in progress.
