The Congestion Management Process (CMP) a systematic and regionally-accepted approach for managing congestion that provides accurate, up-to-date information on transportation system performance and assesses alternative strategies for congestion management that meet the state, regional, and local needs.As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for northeastern Illinois, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is responsible for maintaining a CMP as part of the metropolitan transportation planning process. The process to update the CMP will be guided by a Resource Group made up of federal and state regulatory agencies, county transportation agencies, transit providers, non-governmental organizations and subject-matter experts.The Resource Group will provide input into each of the key components of the CMP. These components include: identifying objectives and performance measures; developing the process for analyzing congestion, and; identifying strategies and recommendations for implementation. Project deliverables will include a guidebook and corridor study template, which will be focused on strategy implementation, prioritizing strategies that align with and support other regional policy goals.This page will store all materials related to the resource group, including meeting notes, presentations, and more.

<h2>Welcome to the Chicago Heights accessibility improvements engagement platform!</h2>&iexcl;Bienvenidos a la plataforma de participaci&oacute;n para mejoras de accesibilidad en Chicago Heights!Our aim is to develop a comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) public right-of-way (PROW) Transition Plan that ensures that the transportation infrastructure, services, and programs within our municipality are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.Plan de Autoevaluaci&oacute;n y Transici&oacute;n del Derecho de Paso P&uacute;blico (PROW) conforme a la ADA de Chicago Heights This plan will serve as a strategic roadmap for identifying and assessing barriers that currently impede accessibility for City sidewalks, curb ramp, crosswalks, pedestrian equipment at signalized intersections, transit stops, and other components of the public right-of-way. By integrating community feedback with detailed assessments, we will pinpoint specific challenges and develop practical, innovative solutions to enhance accessibility.We invite you to join us in this important effort. Your input will help shape a more inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to participate and engage fully! Please participate by completing the public outreach <a href="https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/chicago-heights-ada/surveys/chicago-heights-ada-public-access-survey">survey</a> and <a href="https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/chicago-heights-ada/places/city-of-chicago-heights-public-outreach-map-mapa-de-participacion-publica-de-la-ciudad-de-chicago-heights">map</a>. More information for each is described towards the bottom of this page.An ADA Transition Plan must:<ul type="disc"><li>Identify physical obstacles that limit accessibility</li><li>Provide an opportunity for the public to participate in developing the plan</li><li>Describe how the facilities will be made accessible</li><li>Include a schedule to achieve compliance</li><li>List the official responsible for implementing the plan </li></ul>Nuestro objetivo es desarrollar un plan de Transici&oacute;n integral del Derecho de Paso P&uacute;blico (PROW, por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s) conforme a la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s) que garantice que la infraestructura de transporte vial, servicios, y los programas dentro de nuestro municipio sean totalmente accesibles para las personas con discapacidades. Este plan servir&aacute; como un mapa estrat&eacute;gico sobre c&oacute;mo identificar y evaluar barreras que impiden el acceso en carreteras, banquetas, cruces peatonales, y otros componentes del derecho de paso p&uacute;blico. Integrando los comentarios de la comunidad con evaluaciones, identificaremos barreras especificas y desarrollaremos soluciones pr&aacute;cticas e innovadoras para mejorar la accesibilidad. Les invitamos a ayudarnos en este esfuerzo importante. Su participaci&oacute;n nos ayudar&aacute; a crear una comunidad m&aacute;s inclusiva en el que todos tengan una oportunidad para participar totalmente.

Many areas of the City of Chicago Heights&#39; public right-of-way are not accessible to people with disabilities and do not comply with accessibility rules, for example: broken (or nonexistent) sidewalks, intersections without curb ramps and crosswalks, and inaccessible street parking. These barriers prevent people with disabilities from having equal access to jobs, education, healthcare, services, transit access, and other important quality of life amenities. Planning for and building accessible public spaces is the law. Accessibility also benefits the broader community by improving walkability, safety, and access for all, while supporting vibrant and inclusive communities. Muchas &aacute;reas del derecho de paso p&uacute;blico en Chicago Heights no son accesibles para personas con discapacidades y no cumplen con las reglas de accesibilidad, por ejemplo: banquetas rotas (o inexistentes), intersecciones sin rampas para aceras ni cruces peatonales, y estacionamientos en la calle inaccesibles. Estas barreras proh&iacute;ben acceso igual a trabajos, educaci&oacute;n, atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica, servicios, acceso a tr&aacute;nsito, y otras comodidades importantes para la calidad de vida a personas con discapacidades. Planificar y construir espacios p&uacute;blicos accesibles es un requisito legal. Adem&aacute;s, la accesibilidad beneficia a toda la comunidad al mejorar la caminabilidad, la seguridad y el acceso para todos, fomentando comunidades vibrantes inclusivas. <hr><h2>Help us develop the City of Chicago Heights ADA Transition Plan!</h2>&iexcl;Ay&uacute;danos a desarrollar el Plan de Transici&oacute;n ADA para la Ciudad de Chicago Heights!We need to hear about your personal experiences with accessibility in your community to develop this ADA transition plan.

Under Title II of the ADA, people with disabilities must have an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from state and local governments&rsquo; programs, services, and activities. Title II applies to state agencies, villages, cities, counties, special purpose districts, transit agencies, and other entities that use public funds. A Self-Evaluation is a requirement under Title II of the ADA; it helps public entities identify and document barriers to equal access to create a Transition Plan for addressing these barriers. ADA compliance is important because it improves the resilience of our region. By meeting federal requirements, we can help ensure our region continues to receive millions of dollars in annual transportation funding. <ul><li>Everyone &ndash; including people with disabilities &ndash; has a right to use pedestrian facilities. <ul><li>Accessible alternate pedestrian routes are required during closures for construction. </li></ul></li><li>Accessible and safe pedestrian facilities benefit not only people with disabilities, but also people using strollers, elderly people, children, and distracted walkers. </li><li>All newly constructed pedestrian facilities must meet applicable standards. <ul><li>The cost of improvements is never an allowable reason to not provide accessibility. </li></ul></li><li>Accessibility is required in many elements of the public right-of-way, including but not limited to: <ul><li>Pedestrian crossing signals (audible and vibrotactile features) </li><li>Crosswalk push buttons and signal cycle timing </li><li>Curb ramps </li><li>On-street parking </li><li>Transit stops </li><li>Sidewalk width</li></ul></li></ul> Bajo el Titulo II del Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s), las personas con discapacidades deben tener igualdad de oportunidades para participar en y beneficiarse de los programas, servicios, y actividades de gobiernos estatales y locales. T&iacute;tulo II se aplica a agencias estatales, pueblos, ciudades, condados, distritos con fines especiales, agencias de tr&aacute;nsito, y otras entidades que utilizan fondos p&uacute;blicos. Una autoevaluaci&oacute;n es un requisito seg&uacute;n el Titulo II de la ADA; ayuda a las entidades publicas a identificar y documentar barreras al acceso igualitario para crear un plan de transici&oacute;n para eliminar estas barreras. Cumplir con las reglas de ADA es importante porque mejora la resiliencia de nuestra regi&oacute;n. Al cumplir con los requisitos federales, podemos ayudar a garantizar que nuestra regi&oacute;n contin&uacute;e recibiendo millones de d&oacute;lares en financiamento anual para el transporte. <ul><li>Todos &ndash; incluidas las personas con discapacidades- tienen el derecho de utilizar instalaciones peatonales. <ul><li>Se requieren rutas peatonales alternativas accesibles durante los cierres por construcci&oacute;n.</li></ul></li><li>Instalaciones para peatones accesibles y seguras no solo benefician a personas con discapacidades sino tambi&eacute;n a las personas con cochecitos de beb&eacute;, ancianos, ni&ntilde;os, y peatones distra&iacute;dos. </li><li>Instalaciones peatonales reci&eacute;n construidas deben cumplir con los requisitos aplicables. <ul><li>El costo de mejoramientos nunca es una raz&oacute;n permitida para no tener accesibilidad. </li></ul></li><li>Accesibilidad es un requisito de muchos de los elementos del derecho de paso p&uacute;blico, incluyendo, pero no limitado a: <ul><li>Se&ntilde;ales de cruce de peatones (funciones audibles y vibro t&aacute;ctiles)</li><li>Pulsadores de paso de peatones y sincronizaci&oacute;n del ciclo de se&ntilde;ales.</li><li>Rampas de acera</li><li>Estacionamiento en la calle</li><li>Paradas de transito </li><li>Ancho de banqueta</li></ul></li></ul> <hr>Who&rsquo;s leading the ADA PROW Transition Plan?&iquest;Qui&eacute;n lidera los planes de transici&oacute;n?

Will County Safety Action Plan

The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a systematic and regionally-accepted approach for managing congestion that provides accurate, up-to-date information on transportation system performance and assesses alternative strategies for congestion management that meet the state, regional, and local needs.As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for northeastern Illinois, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is responsible for maintaining a CMP as part of the metropolitan transportation planning process. The process to update the CMP will be guided by a Resource Group made up of federal and state regulatory agencies, county transportation agencies, transit providers, non-governmental organizations and subject-matter experts.The Resource Group will provide input into each of the key components of the CMP. These components include: identifying objectives and performance measures; developing the process for analyzing congestion, and; identifying strategies and recommendations for implementation. Project deliverables will include a guidebook and corridor study template, which will be focused on strategy implementation, prioritizing strategies that align with and support other regional policy goals.This page will store all materials related to the resource group, including meeting notes, presentations, and more.<a href="https://cmap.illinois.gov/wp-content/uploads/CongestionManagement_OnePager.pdf">Congestion Management One-Pager</a>

These modes of traveling have economic, environmental, social, and health benefits &ndash; plus, they can be fun ways to get around!By making our streets friendly for people walking, bicycling, and rolling, Bellwood, Berkeley, Broadview, Hillside, and Westchester community members will have safer and more comfortable opportunities to walk, bike, or roll to schools, jobs, parks, community centers, local businesses, and to their family and friends in the West Cook region.Disadvantaged populations, both in the Chicago region and nationally, are more likely to be affected by traffic violence. This plan will make a particular effort to engage underrepresented groups and to make the five communities safer for children, seniors, and other vulnerable road users.Read more about CMAP&#39;s Bicycle and Pedestrian program <a href="https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/mobility/walking-and-bicycling" target="_blank">here</a>. <img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/ed3d26c41e9437d99ccdc1bf9f39645b5153ceac/original/1710440997/b9404995b4bc2baca94b8ce1fecbfaa6_Initial_Website_Graphics-07.jpg?1710440997" style="width: 959px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">We believe community involvement and input is very important to the planning process!

Regionally significant projects (RSPs) are capital investments in the region&rsquo;s expressways, transit system, and arterials with impacts and benefits that are large enough to warrant additional analysis and discussion through the regional planning process. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is responsible for allocating federal transportation funds in northeastern Illinois. Every four years, CMAP is required to update its long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that guides the allocation of these federal dollars. The plan must identify, evaluate, and prioritize RSPs.As part of the RTP, the federal government also requires CMAP to demonstrate fiscal constraint by showing that sufficient resources will be available to build these major projects over the plan horizon. Fiscally constrained RSPs are eligible to receive federal transportation funds and obtain certain federal approvals.This next plan cycle presents an opportunity for CMAP to conduct a review of and consider updates to its existing RSP policies and procedures, including:<ul><li class="Paragraph SCXO33048884 BCX0" lang="EN-US">Definitions and thresholds</li><li class="Paragraph SCXO33048884 BCX0" lang="EN-US">Identification, evaluation, and selection of projects</li><li class="Paragraph SCXO33048884 BCX0" lang="EN-US">Documentation and reporting</li></ul>This page will store all materials related to the resource group, including meeting notes, presentations, and more.

The City of Chicago&#39;s Black Metropolis is a historic site of African American achievement in arts and culture, business and entrepreneurship, politics, sports, and recreation. The area stretches from the city&#39;s South Loop to Woodlawn (18th Street to the north, 71st street to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, and Canal Street to the west). The assemblage of natural, historic, educational, and recreational resources forms a cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape that is worth preserving. The area also serves as memorial to the Great Migration of 1910-70, a demographic movement in which approximately 600,000 African Americans migrated north in search of employment and improved life opportunities.The Bronzeville Community Development Partnership, along with numerous community partners, decided to preserve its unique landscape and assets through a National Heritage Area (NHA) designation application. CMAP&#39;s role in this process is to craft the management plan for the Black Metropolis National Heritage Area.

<h1>View the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) <a href="https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/19830/widgets/82354/documents/59052" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here.</a></h1>A CIP lists, prioritizes, and schedules all capital projects and needs over a five- or 10-year period. A CIP is a tool that helps a municipality look forward to future needs and projects and determine timing, financing needs, and, in some cases, locations these projects should occur. This helps the municipality plan and prepare for future growth and community needs. <hr> <h1>Voting has concluded!</h1>The Village of Lansing is working with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and a consultant to create a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the first time. As part of the capital improvement plan the Village of Lansing has worked with CMAP to ask residents about capital needs. Over 1,600 responses were collected providing key insights into capital needs and priorities. A steering committee of residents, village staff, and leadership developed proposals informed by resident input gathered throughout the fall and winter.

CMAP workrf with ACT (<a class="fr-strong" href="https://austincomingtogether.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Austin Coming Together</a>) on a plan for Central Avenue. This plan will advance a key focal project identified in the <a class="fr-strong" href="https://austincomingtogether.org/qlp/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2018 Quality of Life Plan</a>. Our work with ACT will result in a practical blueprint for how to realize the community&#39;s vision for &quot;A healthy Central Avenue Corridor consistently branded from the north to the south will serve as a unifying presence, both supporting and illustrating a thriving and united Austin.&quot;This plan primarily focuses on reinforcing Central Avenue and using the corridor to connect all of Austin. As Central Avenue is the commercial corridor for Austin and runs from south to north, it will serve as the Spine of Austin. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) was CMAP&#39;s partner in this work, as the Action Plan is based on the content developed by a ULI Technical Assistance Panel for Central Avenue.

Braidwood Comprehensive Plan

Getting StartedAs the designated regional planning agency in Northeastern Illinois, the<a href="https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/"> Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) </a>is always looking for ways to better assess the needs of the 284 communities within our jurisdiction. To measure demand for different types of technical assistance that CMAP makes available through its <a href="https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/programs/LTA">Local Technical Assistance (LTA)</a> program, inform policy analysis of such topics as transportation funding and management, and help track implementation of regional goals, CMAP conducts a biennial survey of municipal governments.Our last survey- completed in 2018 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic- boasted an outstanding response rate of over 80% from our partner municipalities. Now in 2022, we look to continue that success with the latest version of our outreach efforts. CMAP looks forward to another great response this year from our partner municipalities and thanks you in advance for your contributions to this important effort. Important TopicsHere are some of the topics included in this year&#39;s survey: <ul><li>Community Development &amp; Technical Assistance</li><li>Housing Choice &amp; Available Housing Stock</li><li>Economic Development</li><li>Safe &amp; Complete Streets</li><li>Climate Resilience &amp; Sustainability</li><li>Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) </li><li>Local Government Engagement</li></ul>Survey Submittal Options<ul><li>Complete ONLINE: Municipalities are encouraged to complete the survey<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SFYGZBF"> following this link.</a> This is the preferred method of completing the survey. </li><li>PRINT and complete: If the online method is not an option, you can also download the PDF version.

Together, we worked to shape a vision for the future of Sugar Grove that aligns with CMAP&#39;s ON TO 2050 principles of resiliency, inclusive growth, and prioritized investment.The planning process served to establish a vision through careful analysis of existing patterns and trends and continuous conversations with the Sugar Grove community about preferences and priorities for the future of the Village.Topics explored as part of this process included:<ul><li>Land use, growth, and development</li><li>Transportation and mobility (walking, driving, biking, and transit)</li><li>Quality of life issues</li><li>Environmental justice</li><li>Affordable housing</li><li>Conservation and natural resources</li><li>Infrastructure and utilities</li><li>Implementation of plan recommendations</li></ul>The planning process officially began in October 2021 and concluded in April 2023. See the project schedule below to get a sense of the major project phases and community engagement windows. Over the course of the project, the Village and CMAP hosted&mdash;alongside our consulting partner, Design Workshop&mdash;various opportunities to engage with the planning team in person and virtually, including public workshops, presentations, interviews, and online activities.

Notice the updated schedule as of February 9th, 2023!

Plan para ciclistas y peatones de Bartlett y Streamwood

The Village of Flossmoor is working together with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and other stakeholders to develop a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). The Village of Flossmoor LRSP is a review of all the public roads within the community. It contains recommendations for all relevant safety related roadway infrastructure improvements, explaining how these recommendations were developed and why they are important for the future of the community. An additional component of the LRSP is to identify opportunities to influence and improve behavior of all roadway users (e.g., motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians). Included below are the topics the Village of Flossmoor LRSP project will seek to explore and address:<table class="noBorder" style="width: 91%; margin-right: calc(9%);"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Roadway safety</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Equitable enforcement</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Crash data analysis</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Engineering </li></ul></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Bicycle and pedestrian safety</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Education and outreach</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><ul><li>Access to transit</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Emergency response</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Safe Routes to School</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Funding opportunities</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Complete Streets</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Prioritized investments</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 52.9183%; vertical-align: top;"><ul><li>Enforcement strategies</li></ul></td><td style="width: 46.8871%; vertical-align: top;"> </td></tr></tbody></table><h3> </h3><h3>We want to hear from you!</h3>Your feedback is a valuable part of the Village of Flossmoor LRSP development process.

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) worked together with the City of Joliet and other stakeholders to study potential improvements at the Laraway Road at-grade crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad. The study also included the accompanying highway section from Brandon Road to IL Route 53 in the City of Joliet and the railroad section from Zurich Road to Schweitzer Road. The study identified a project purpose and need. The study subsequently identified an alternative to carry forward to phase-I engineering.Project purpose and needEngaging with partners and the public, the study team completed a &quot;Transportation System Performance Report&quot; and a &quot;Stakeholder Survey.&quot; In consultation with our agency partners, the team refined this into a draft formal &quot;Purpose and Need&quot; statement. These documents are all available in the Documents section of this page.Identified needs. Laraway Road experiences delays and unreliable travel times which are expected to continue through the planning horizon (even with the Houbolt Road bridge construction). These are the result of 1) an extremely high volume of slow-moving trucks through this freight corridor, 2) extended gate closures at the UPRR crossing that often last greater than 10-15 minutes, 3) frequent vehicle safety stops at the UPRR that disrupt the flow of traffic, and 4) backups along Laraway Road eastbound from the IL 53 intersection that extend beyond the UPRR, which can result in vehicles stopped on the tracks when the gates close. This can be summarized into three main needs to be addressed: delay, safety, and freight network reliability.Project purpose. The purpose of the project is to improve the efficiency of the study area&rsquo;s transportation system by reducing travel delays along Laraway Road for all users caused by extended gate closures; to improve safety by reducing the potential for trains to collide with vehicles; and to improve the freight network reliability to the intermodal and industrial sites in the study area.The final approval of the project purpose and need comes during the NEPA process.Alternatives identification and evaluationAlternatives were evaluated based on the following factors:<ul><li>Laraway Road mobility and safety</li><li>Size of the transportation footprint</li><li>Maintenance of traffic during construction</li><li>Drainage and utility conflicts</li><li>Water resources</li><li>Magnitude of cost</li><li>Constructability</li></ul>The study identified a range of solutions to address delay, safety, and freight network reliability. The alternatives included raising the railroad over Laraway Road, lowering the railroad under the road, raising Laraway Road over the railroad, or lowering the road under the railroad.In addition to the grade separation, a number of improvements to the intersection of Illinois Route 53 and Laraway Road were analyzed. These included moderate improvements, such as additional turn lanes, but also included more extensive reconstruction of the intersection. Several innovative configurations, like roundabouts and continuous-flow intersections, were also evaluated.Alternative to carry forwardThe alternatives evaluation revealed that raising Laraway Road over the Union Pacific Railroad performed better than the other alternatives. This alternative may be carried forward to phase-I engineering. The remaining alternatives will not be carried forward.The following improvements were included in each of the &quot;build&quot; alternatives and will be carried forward with raising Laraway Road over the railroad:<ul><li>Widening and reconstruction of Laraway Road to two lanes in each direction from Brandon Road to IL 53. The right-of-way along Laraway Road varies from approximately 75-100 feet. In order to avoid impacts to the Joliet stormwater facility, the centerline of Laraway Road would be shifted to the south. This would result in an increase in right-of-way by approximately 20 feet to the south. Under the proposed condition, with a relocated Laraway Road centerline, 60 feet of right-of-way would be needed either side of the proposed new centerline.</li><li>10-foot shared-use path (pedestrian and bicycle facility) provided on north side of Laraway Road</li><li>East of the old school property, 1/3-mile east of UPRR , a north-south roadway (Marcella Avenue) had been planned by the City of Joliet on existing right-of-way (and was recently constructed). For the PEL Study, which is based on a design year of 2050, the new road was considered an existing condition. Joliet recently added a traffic signal at the Marcella Avenue intersection with Laraway Road.</li><li>With the addition of the grade separation between Laraway Road and the railroad, new roadway connections to the existing railroad service roads are required. These connections would be south of Laraway Road, impacting agricultural land. Provides access to service roads along UPRR on east and west side of the tracks.</li><li>With the addition of the grade separation between Laraway Road and the railroad, a new roadway connection to the lift station would be required, impacting agricultural land. Access to lift station on northeast quadrant of the Laraway Road and UPRR crossing would be made via service road that intersects with Marcella Ave.</li></ul>Three intersection configurations are also being carried forward forward for further evaluation.The PEL study processCMAP used the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) process to complete this work. A PEL study is an early planning-level study process, developed and approved by the Federal Highway Administration. The PEL process allows consideration of environmental constraints, community concerns, and economic goals early in project planning and development. The benefits of the PEL process include reducing the duplication of effort in future studies, promotion of cost-effective environmental stewardship, and reduction of delay in project implementation.The PEL final report was reviewed by federal and state partners, with a finding of no additional comment on July 19, 2022.Next stepsThe PEL Study has been completed. State and federal officials questions were addressed, leaving no further comments. The next step in the study process would be to initiate a locally-led environmental and preliminary engineering study. It would use the decisions regarding the project purpose and need, and alternatives to be carried forward as the starting point for the Engineering-I/NEPA study. In addition, the complete PEL Study stakeholder mailing list and comments will be transferred to the new study, providing a seamless transition between these efforts. The Illinois Commerce Commission has programmed $20 million toward this endeavor.The City of Joliet, which would be the local sponsor, has not committed to additional studies or construction of this project. This PEL Study will help the City understand the cost and scope of the project, should the City choose to proceed.Banner image source: Nearmap.
