The project transformed traditional impervious alleys into eco-friendly, permeable surfaces designed to better manage stormwater, reduce flooding, and enhance neighborhood resilience.

Community members can use the trail to reach Moraine Valley Community College, Amos Alonzo Stagg High School, the Palos Heights Metra Station, and many parks, businesses, and neighborhoods across the region.

This vital stormwater management project was made possible through a partnership between the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) and the Village of Glenwood.

The project honors the history of the Graue Mill and Fullersburg Woods, while also improving water quality and enhancing recreational opportunities in Salt Creek.

The new trail extension will improve access and connectivity to the Cal-Sag Trail that runs alongside the Cal-Sag Channel.

The event highlighted the leadership, expertise and lived experiences of Black women shaping the water industry and protecting communities across Cook County.
