OCTOBER 2022 TO PRESENT
Ongoing design is being conducted to develop the preferred alternative for the corridor further; this includes coordination with stakeholders and advanced additional design work and analyses (e.g., drainage, geometric design, and environmental analysis among others). Meetings have also been conducted with impacted stakeholders, such as Villa Venice Condominiums, municipalities, and the Illinois Tollway. FEBRUARY 2022
Collaborated with IDOT and FHWA to assess a preferred 3-lane typical section for the preferred design alternative and the impacts on both the community and future needs of the corridor. This preferred alternative includes a 30lane roadway throughout, intersection improvements, continuous sidewalk, shared-use path, and a closed drainage system with curb and gutter improvements. The typical section meets the needs of the corridor as well as accommodates the public's preferred alternative by decreasing the impacts to the adjacent properties and environmental resources. View the Preferred Typical Section. MAY 2021
