Answer:

The Northwest and East-West Tollways facilitated access to areas such as Oak Brook and Schaumburg which were previously undeveloped areas not served by commuter railroad lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the East Tollways spread across the original area allowing the undeveloped areas at the time to be served by the commuter railroad lines.

The Edens Expressway stimulated rapid development of the Skokie valley. The high speed link reshaped the region just like the railroads had. The Northwest and East-West Tollways facilitated access to areas such as Oak Brook and Schaumburg which were previously undeveloped areas not served by commuter railroad lines.
