Here's another reason you need to go check out the Great Western Trail in Sycamore, IL this spring! Sycamore Park District added another win under their belt for the Great Western Trail Extension Project at the APWA Chapter Awards Ceremony hosted at Medinah Shriners Banquets in Addison, IL last Friday. The project moved on to the APWA Chicago Metro Chapter level to be reviewed against all other branch winners in the same category and was selected as Project of the Year for Less Than $5 Million Transportation again! The project has now moved on to the final level of judgement for APWA National Awards and we hope to hear more good news soon on this decision. ERA was the primary consultant and Civil Constructors, Inc. was the primary contractor for this project.
