way for the installation. Riverwoods hopes to resolve this with the Park Dis-
trict, however. The bicycle path proposal has been accepted by the Village
Board of Riverwoods, contingent upon Deerfield's funding the portion from Castle-
wood Lane to the Tollway. Riverwoods has allocated $55,000 to the project. ;
