Ambitious Franklin Avenue, Green Street project aims to improve O'Hare transportation
Construction will begin this spring on a large roadway improvement project along Franklin Avenue and Green Street in Franklin Park. The project will expand the roadway, which stretches from Runge Street in Franklin Park to York Road in Bensenville, as part of a ongoing toll road I-490/IL-390 project to connect to O'Hare International Airport. That project is slated to cost $534 million and is intended to improve access to the west side of O'Hare, thereby improving the immediate surrounding areas, according to Illinois Tollway. The Franklin Avenue/Green Street portion will widen to allow the industrial corridor to accommodate more traffic, offer more pedestrian amenities and help truck access into a nearby railyard. The scope of the project should aid commuters and residents as well as commercial freight trucks driving from the airport to the train depot. '[Companies] will be able to use interstates for more of their trucks,' said Nathan Roseberry, assistant superintendent of the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. 'We'll be going from a two-lane to a five-lane road on Franklin Street.' With a new highway comes more demand on local surface routes. Due to the convergence of nearly all types of transportation hubs, updating the whole corridor is essential for shipping, officials said. 'The yard is directly adjacent to the airport, so you have air, rail and trucks all coexisting,' Roseberry said. The project also will provide more traffic signals, bike and pedestrian lanes, landscape restoration, sewer repairs and curb upgrades for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project is expected to cost $34.5 million with the money coming from Cook County, Bensenville, Franklin Park, the tollway and the federal government. The project kicks off in coming weeks and will wrap up in 2027, though most of the construction will be finished in 2026, officials said. Drivers can expect some traffic delays during the work and Roseberry said residents can check progress on the county's website. 'This one is a large enough project where we have a stand-alone page where we'll have updates,' he said. The website can be found by searching Green Street and Franklin Avenue Improvement Project.

Orlando 19-year-old federally indicted in ‘sextortion' case
The Department of Justice has announced the indictment of a 19-year-old from Montgomery on sex crime charges. Acting United States Attorney Sara Sweeney says Montrey Roseberry is charged with three counts of coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity, three counts of production of child sexual abuse material, and one count of possession of child sexual abuse material. If convicted on all counts, he faces a maximum penalty of life in federal prison. According to the Justice Department, Roseberry ran a scheme to force children to participate in child pornography from at least July 2023 through at least April 2024. Calling it a 'sextortion' scheme, investigators allege that Roseberry would impersonate a woman and coerce children he found on social media into producing images and videos of themselves engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He then allegedly threatening to release those materials to force the victims into making more 'perverse content.' Investigators say he even threatened some of his victims with death and sent them images of their homes, schools or family members. Roseberry will be detained, pending the resolution of the case. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative by the Justice Department to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
