An infamous stretch of Quentin Road in Palatine will be resurfaced this year, but the long-awaited project to widen it needs another community meeting and environmental study before moving forward.

One of the few remaining major components of the village of Palatine s bike plan is moving forward.
The plan entails the construction of an asphalt path that will connect the existing bike route on Smith Street to the path in the Deer Grove Forest Preserve. A new crossing and pedestrian signal will be added at Dundee Road and Smith Street, and Smith Street will be signed as a bike route between Dundee Road and Cunningham Drive.
I think a lot of people have been anticipating this, Councilman Brad Helms, who chairs the village s infrastructure and environment committee, said at a village board meeting Monday.
