ALGONQUIN – The village of Algonquin has secured about $3.7 million in federal transportation funding for the construction of a pedestrian crossing at Randall Road and to improve trails in the downtown area, according to a village news release.

The money was awarded by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and is part of about $411 million that the federal government recently allocated to the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, according to the release.

Just more than $3 million is slated for a Randall Road pedestrian crossing connecting Golden Eagle Drive and Stonegate Road.
