From the Forest Preserves of Cook County’s blog:
Driving throughout Cook County, you’ve likely become familiar with the red and white signs indicating Forest Preserves property. They’re found on corners, at parking lot entrances, at FPCC buildings and other places throughout the preserves. But what do those signs mean, and what do the sites actually offer residents and visitors?

The Gateway Master Plan was made possible, in part, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Healthy HotSpot initiative led by the Cook County Department of Public Health.

More than $200,000 has supported the Gateway design process. The Forest Preserve Foundation also provided an additional $51,000 towards the Gateway initiative.
