Summary:"The road (Route 53) is going in my backyard - literally," said unincorporated Grayslake resident Ed Kaminski. "IDOT showed me a line on a map. I asked what it was. They said, 'That's your new driveway. With Route 53 you won't be able to get out of your house.' " The proposed Route 53 extension would be a new six-lane, 23-mile tollway running from Lake-Cook Road to Grayslake. It would split into an eastern leg ending at I-94 and a western spur would end at Route 120. Bo and Marie Holimon of Grayslake want the Route 53 extension. "We need it. Just try to get to work on time," Marie Holimon said.
