==Infrastructure== ===Transportation=== [[Image:Route 22 Lincolnshire IL.jpg|thumb|right|Illinois Route 22 within Lincolnshire borders]] Lincolnshire lies on three arterial roads: [[Illinois Route 22]], which is known as Half Day Road in this area; Milwaukee Avenue, which appears as [[Illinois Route 21]]/[[U.S. Route 45 in Illinois|U.S. Route 45]]; and Aptakisic Road, which meets Milwaukee in the southern region of Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire shares its eastern border with the village of [[Bannockburn, Illinois|Bannockburn]] at [[Interstate 94]] (where it is a portion of the [[Tri-State Tollway]]). Route 22 crosses the Des Plaines River before bridging Bannockburn and Lincolnshire by arching over Interstate Highway 94.<ref name=mappymap /> Lincolnshire has two primary [[Segregated cycle facilities|bike paths]] that cover a large expanse of the village. One runs in a north–south direction alongside Riverwoods Road in the eastern half of the village, while the other runs in an east–west direction from the eastern half of the village, across the Des Plaines River, and to the village hall in the west side of the village. Smaller bike paths connect individual neighborhood areas within and around Lincolnshire.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/parks/parkspaths/index.php|title=Parks and Paths|access-date=September 7, 2008 |work=Department of Parks and Recreation|publisher=Village of Lincolnshire|year=2008}}</ref> [[O'Hare International Airport]] is {{convert|18|mi|km}} southwest of the village of Lincolnshire. Travel between Lincolnshire and the airport is facilitated by the Tri-State Tollway,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps/travel/chiln-lincolnshire-marriott-resort/|title=Maps and Transportation|access-date=September 8, 2008 |work=Lincolnshire Marriott Resort|publisher=Marriott International, Inc.|year=2008}}</ref> although travel by railway is also possible via the [[Prairie View station]] just west of Lincolnshire.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metrarail.com/Sched/ncs/prairie_view.shtml |title=Prairie View Station Information |access-date=September 13, 2008 |work=Metra North Central Service |publisher=Commuter Rail Division of the Regional Transportation Authority |date=1995–2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913223811/http://metrarail.com/Sched/ncs/prairie_view.shtml |archive-date=September 13, 2008 }}</ref> [[Pace (transit)|Pace]] provides bus service on multiple routes connecting Lincolnshire to Vernon Hills, Niles, and other destinations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rtachicago.org/uploads/files/general/RTA-System-Map.pdf|title=RTA System Map|access-date=January 30, 2024}}</ref> ===Utilities=== The Village of Lincolnshire negotiated and signed an agreement with the City of [[Highland Park, Illinois|Highland Park]] in 1982 to create a more efficient means of obtaining water by purchasing filtered water from [[Lake Michigan]]. The Village of Lincolnshire also monitors the public pumps and [[Water metering|water meters]] of private residents. Lincolnshire is served by a [[sanitary sewer]] that connects to the Lake County Sewage Treatment Plant, which lies on the Des Plaines River outside the Village limits; the disposal of wastewater is left to the government of Lake County rather than the Village of Lincolnshire itself. Lincolnshire also runs a network of storm drains that run directly into the Des Plaines River; to protect the river's cleanliness, the village government has outlawed dumping of most chemicals into the network of [[storm drain]]s.<ref name=sewages>{{cite web| url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/water_sewer.php| title=Water and Sewer Division| access-date=September 13, 2008 |work=Department of Public Works| publisher=Village of Lincolnshire| year=2008}}</ref> A plan to repair city streets was also implemented in 1982, and continues; the Village also offers public services to clear the streets during the fall and winter from fallen leaves and snow respectively, although on its arterial roads (Illinois Routes 22, 45, and Aptakisic Road) residents are provided with bags to clear their curbs during autumn months as it is not possible for the Village to safely clear these roads of leaf debris. The Village of Lincolnshire regularly sweeps other streets within its borders.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/streets_drainage.php |title=Streets and Drainage Division |access-date=September 13, 2008 |work=Department of Public Works |publisher=Village of Lincolnshire |year=2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110504143346/http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/streets_drainage.php |archive-date=May 4, 2011 }}</ref> The Village of Lincolnshire is served by LRS for waste disposal The engineering division of Lincolnshire's Public Works Department maintains roads and streets under the jurisdiction of Lincolnshire, inspects existing facilities, improves existing residential subdivisions, and considers the construction of new ones. The department also manages plans in case of river floods.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/engineering.php|title=Engineering Division |access-date=September 13, 2008 |work=Department of Public Works|publisher=Village of Lincolnshire|year=2008}}</ref>
