Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against persons with disabilities by requiring them to make all programs, services, and activities accessible. Title II also requires that a public entity evaluate its facilities (i.e., sidewalks, crosswalks, paths) to determine whether they comply with the ADA&#39;s nondiscrimination requirements.To this end, local governments must develop a Transition Plan that describes any structural or physical changes required to make facilities accessible. A self-evaluation of programs and facilities feeds the findings of the Transition Plan, which outlines methods for making physical or structural changes to affect the nondiscrimination policies described in Title II.Self-EvaluationThe self-evaluation of the streets and sidewalks focuses on identifying existing conditions by: <ul><li>Finding physical obstacles and policies that limit access. </li><li>Seeking public input to develop the plan. This includes identifying where people face challenges navigating sidewalks, crosswalks, and pathways. </li></ul>Street features that may challenge people with disabilities are:<ul data-block-id="f4626bc3-b8d9-44a3-94a6-6167f814d50d"><li>Broken (or nonexistent) sidewalks.</li><li>Intersections without curb ramps and crosswalks.</li><li>Inaccessible street parking.</li></ul>These barriers can prevent people from accessing jobs, education, healthcare, and transit, and limit access to vital community services and amenities.Transition PlanThis occurs after the self-evaluation is complete. It includes: <ul><li>Describing how facilities will meet ADA requirements. The focus is on key streets serving public buildings, parks, and transit.</li><li>Developing a schedule to show when this will occur.</li><li>Identifying policies and programs that impact street access for people with disabilities. </li></ul>The City of Woodstock must also post public notices and grievance procedures required by the ADA. _____________________________________&iquest;Qu&eacute; incluye un Plan de Calles y Banquetas Accesibles?El T&iacute;tulo II de la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s) proh&iacute;be a los gobiernos estatales y locales discriminar a las personas con discapacidades y requiere que todos los programas, servicios y actividades sean accesibles. Tambi&eacute;n exige que las entidades p&uacute;blicas eval&uacute;en sus instalaciones (como banquetas, cruces peatonales y v&iacute;as peatonales) para determinar si cumplen con los requisitos de no discriminaci&oacute;n de la ADA.Con este fin, los gobiernos locales deben desarrollar un Plan de Transici&oacute;n que describa los cambios estructurales o f&iacute;sicos necesarios para hacer accesibles dichas instalaciones. La Autoevaluaci&oacute;n de programas e instalaciones alimenta las conclusiones del Plan de Transici&oacute;n, el cual detalla los m&eacute;todos para aplicar los cambios necesarios en cumplimiento con el T&iacute;tulo II.Autoevaluaci&oacute;nLa autoevaluaci&oacute;n de las calles y banquetas se enfoca en identificar condiciones existentes mediante:<ul type="disc"><li>Identificar obst&aacute;culos f&iacute;sicos y pol&iacute;ticas relacionadas con las calles que limitan el acceso.</li><li>Solicitar participaci&oacute;n p&uacute;blica para desarrollar el plan.

New: The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) has released the Freight Assessment&rsquo;s first report, The Freight Landscape, to provide key introductory facts about the region&rsquo;s freight system and to explain fundamental freight concepts.Freight plays a vital role in the region&rsquo;s economy. In 2023, nearly 700 million tons of goods were moved to, from, or within the region. These goods were worth more than $1 trillion. The freight industry employed more than 210,000 of the region&rsquo;s residents in 2024 at more than 14,000 establishments. The freight industry provides the region&rsquo;s 8.5 million residents access to the goods they need and want, connecting the region&rsquo;s many businesses to national and international markets.Read <a href="https://cmap.illinois.gov/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/CMAP_FreightLandscapeSummary.pdf">The Freight Landscape</a>.<hr> The Regional Freight System Assessment reviews planning issues for the multimodal freight network in northeastern Illinois, including infrastructure, public policy, and investment programs. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is conducting this work as part of its ongoing research and analysis in the development of the 2026 Regional Transportation Plan as well as the Century Plan.This work includes four deliverables:<ul><li>Phase 1, now complete, establishes the freight landscape, defining key terms and concepts, as well as introducing goods movement as a key planning topic for the region.</li><li>Phase 2 defines freight networks, assesses their performance, providing maps and other technical reference materials.</li><li>Phase 3 identifies both capital investment and public policy opportunities to support the regional freight system.</li><li>Phase 4 provides final recommendations synthesizing the findings.</li></ul>

Lincolnwood est&aacute; estudiando c&oacute;mo las aceras/banquetas, pasos de peatones y caminos sirven a las personas con discapacidades. El objetivo es crear calles que les permitan a todos navegar su comunidad con seguridad. Por favor, &uacute;nase con nosotros en este esfuerzo.El nombre del plan es Access Lincolnwood. Tiene dos fases: una autoevaluaci&oacute;n y un plan de transici&oacute;n. Una subvenci&oacute;n de la Agencia Metropolitana de Planificaci&oacute;n de Chicago (CMAP por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s) financia el plan. CMAP liderando los esfuerzos para desarrollar estos planes en varias ciudades. Para m&aacute;s informaci&oacute;n sobre el trabajo de CMAP para ayudar a las personas con discapacidades, consulte este <a href="https://cmap.illinois.gov/focus-areas/planning/accessibility-and-ada/" target="_blank">enlace</a>.<hr>Reuni&oacute;n P&uacute;blica de Participaci&oacute;n &ndash; 14 de mayo de 2025 El Municipio de Lincolnwood ha evaluado las banquetas, v&iacute;as peatonales, cruces peatonales, como son accesibles para personas con discapacidades. Le invitamos a una reuni&oacute;n p&uacute;blica de participaci&oacute;n el mi&eacute;rcoles 14 de mayo en la Biblioteca P&uacute;blica de Lincolnwood (4000 West Pratt Ave).

Para evitar la discriminaci&oacute;n, la ADA requiere una autoevaluaci&oacute;n y un plan de transici&oacute;n. El plan identifica a los responsables de su aplicaci&oacute;n.<h4>La Autoevaluaci&oacute;n</h4>La autoevaluaci&oacute;n de las calles y aceras/banquetas se centra en identificar las condiciones existentes por medio de:<ul type="disc"><li>Encontrar los obst&aacute;culos f&iacute;sicos y reglamentos que limitan el acceso.</li><li>Obtener las opiniones/aportaciones del p&uacute;blico para desarrollar el plan. Esto incluye identificar los lugares en los que las personas tienen dificultades para navegar por las aceras/banquetas, los pasos de peatones y los caminos.</li></ul>Las caracter&iacute;sticas de las calles que pueden suponer un reto para las personas con discapacidades son:<ol start="1" type="1"><li>Aceras/banquetas rotas (o inexistentes).</li><li>Intersecciones sin rampas ni pasos de peatones.</li><li>Estacionamiento en la calle inaccesible.</li></ol>Estas barreras pueden impedir el acceso de las personas al empleo, la educaci&oacute;n, la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica y el transporte p&uacute;blico. Tambi&eacute;n pueden limitar el acceso a los servicios y comodidades vitales para la comunidad.<h4>El Plan de Transici&oacute;n</h4>Este se produce despu&eacute;s de que se complete la Autoevaluaci&oacute;n. Incluye:<ul type="disc"><li>Describir c&oacute;mo las instalaciones cumplir&aacute;n los requisitos de la ADA. La atenci&oacute;n se centra en las calles clave que dan servicio a los edificios p&uacute;blicos, parques y el transporte p&uacute;blico.</li><li>Desarrollar un calendario que muestre cu&aacute;ndo se llevar&aacute; a cabo esto.</li><li>Determinar los reglamentos y programas que afectan el acceso a las calles para las personas con discapacidades.</li></ul>Lincolnwood tambi&eacute;n debe publicar los avisos p&uacute;blicos y los procedimientos de reclamaci&oacute;n exigidos por la ADA.<h3>&iquest;C&oacute;mo puedo involucrarme?</h3>El enfoque de este plan es en las personas con discapacidades. Queremos opiniones/aportaciones de todos. Esto incluye a aquellos que son cuidadores de las personas con discapacidades. Incluye a los adultos mayores, padres y estudiantes.

This is a national goal to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.This plan covers 13 counties and 3 states in Greater Chicago. It will build on previous climate action plans from across the region, creating a coordinated strategy to equitably reduce emissions and address climate impacts in low-income and disadvantaged communities.The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, and the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) are creating this plan together. This work is supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&rsquo;s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program and will be completed by December 2025.<h2>Outreach and engagement</h2>Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions will require action across all sectors of the economy. Developing a plan to coordinate this work will similarly require collaboration among policy makers, implementers, community leaders, and other stakeholders.The project team has convened five distinct groups to guide and inform the development of the plan:<ul><li>Steering committee</li><li>Community working group</li><li>Buildings working group</li><li>Industry working group</li><li>Transportation working group</li></ul>See below for materials related to these project groups, including meeting notes, presentations, and memoranda.

El T&iacute;tulo II de la ADA (siglas en ingl&eacute;s para la Ley para Estadounidenses con Discapacidades, en espa&ntilde;ol) le proh&iacute;be a Hillside discriminar a las personas con discapacidades. Para evitar la discriminaci&oacute;n, la ADA requiere una autoevaluaci&oacute;n y un plan de transici&oacute;n. El plan identifica a los responsables de su aplicaci&oacute;n.La Autoevaluaci&oacute;nLa autoevaluaci&oacute;n de las calles y aceras/banquetas se centra en identificar las condiciones existentes por medio de:<ul type="disc"><li>Encontrar los obst&aacute;culos f&iacute;sicos y reglamentos que limitan el acceso.</li><li>Obtener las opiniones/aportaciones del p&uacute;blico para desarrollar el plan. Esto incluye identificar los lugares en los qu&eacute; las personas tienen dificultades para navegar por las aceras/banquetas, los pasos de peatones y los caminos.</li></ul>Las caracter&iacute;sticas de las calles que pueden suponer un reto para las personas con discapacidades son:<ol start="1" type="1"><li>Aceras/banquetas rotas (o inexistentes).</li><li>Intersecciones sin rampas ni pasos de peatones.</li><li>Estacionamiento en la calle inaccesible.</li></ol>Estas barreras pueden impedir el acceso de las personas al empleo, la educaci&oacute;n, la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica y el transporte p&uacute;blico. Tambi&eacute;n pueden limitar el acceso a los servicios y comodidades vitales para la comunidad.El Plan de Transici&oacute;nEste se produce despu&eacute;s de que se complete la Autoevaluaci&oacute;n. Incluye:<ul type="disc"><li>Describir c&oacute;mo las instalaciones cumplir&aacute;n los requisitos de la ADA. La atenci&oacute;n se centra en las calles clave que dan servicio a los edificios p&uacute;blicos, parques y el transporte p&uacute;blico.</li><li>Desarrollar un calendario que muestre cu&aacute;ndo se llevar&aacute; a cabo esto.</li><li>Determinar los reglamentos y programas que afectan el acceso a las calles para las personas con discapacidades.</li></ul>Hillside tambi&eacute;n debe publicar los avisos p&uacute;blicos y los procedimientos de reclamaci&oacute;n exigidos por la ADA. &iquest;C&oacute;mo puedo involucrarme?El enfoque de este plan es en las personas con discapacidades. Queremos opiniones/aportaciones de todos. Esto incluye a aquellos que son cuidadores de las personas con discapacidades. Incluye a los adultos mayores, padres y estudiantes. Usted puede ser un visitante de Hillside y aun as&iacute; proporcionar su opini&oacute;n sobre d&oacute;nde ve las necesidades de acceso.<ul type="disc"><li>Encuesta de las Opiniones/Aportaciones del P&uacute;blico: Hay una encuesta en l&iacute;nea disponible por medio de <a href="https://s.surveyplanet.com/ouxhlp84" target="_blank">este enlace</a>.</li><li>Inscr&iacute;base para recibir las actualizaciones del proyecto por medio de este enlace de la encuesta.</li><li>Eventos P&uacute;blicos: La primera reuni&oacute;n de opiniones/aportaciones se est&aacute; programando. Se llevar&aacute; acabo en el S&aacute;lon del Municipio Hillside durante noviembre (les daremos detalles). Estar&aacute; abierto de las 6 pm a las 7:30 pm y es una sesi&oacute;n de visita corta, as&iacute; que llegue en cualquier momento durante esas horas.</li><li>Entrevistas de las Partes Interesadas: Necesitamos las opiniones/aportaciones de las organizaciones que trabajan con las personas con discapacidades. P&oacute;ngase en contacto con Paul Smith (informaci&oacute;n m&aacute;s arriba) para programar una entrevista con el consultor del proyecto.</li></ul>&iquest;Por qu&eacute; es importante el cumplimiento con la ADA? Todos tienen un derecho a usar las aceras/banquetas de Hillside. Proporcionar instalaciones que cumplan los requisitos de la ADA las hace utilizables para las personas con discapacidades. Tambi&eacute;n permite que sus familiares y amigos los acompa&ntilde;en. Las aceras/banquetas y los pasos de peatones seguros y accesibles para las carriolas, los ni&ntilde;os y las personas de la tercera edad.El cumplimiento de la ADA tambi&eacute;n es esencial porque mejora la capacidad de resiliencia de nuestra regi&oacute;n. Cumplir con los requisitos federales asegura millones en fondos de transporte para nuestra regi&oacute;n.Otros hechos interesantes:<ul type="disc"><li>Las aceras/banquetas nuevas, cruces y se&ntilde;ales de tr&aacute;fico deben cumplir las normas aplicables.</li><li>Las zonas de trabajo deben permitir la utilizaci&oacute;n de las aceras/banquetas y los cruces. Esto es especialmente cierto cuando existen los desv&iacute;os de aceras/banquetas.</li><li>El costo de las mejoras nunca es motivo para no hacer accesibles las calles.</li><li>Los requisitos de la ADA abordan muchas caracter&iacute;sticas de las calles que muchos dan por sentadas:<ul type="circle"><li>Anchuras, superficies y cuestas de aceras/banquetas,</li><li>Rampas en las equinas de las calles y pasos de peatones a mitad de manzana/cuadra,</li><li>Se&ntilde;ales de paso de peatones (funciones ac&uacute;sticas y vibro t&aacute;ctiles),</li><li>Pulsadores de paso de peatones y temporizaci&oacute;n de los ciclos de se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n,</li><li>Estacionamiento en la calle y para veh&iacute;culos el&eacute;ctricos,</li><li>Paradas de Tr&aacute;nsito.</li></ul></li></ul>&iquest;Qui&eacute;n est&aacute; dirigiendo los Planes de Transici&oacute;n de la ADA?Hillside se ha asociado con CMAP y Vitruvian Planning para desarrollar el plan. M&aacute;s de 800,000 personas en el noroeste de Illinois tienen una o m&aacute;s discapacidad(es). Esta es la raz&oacute;n por la cual CMAP quiere mejorar la accesibilidad a nuestra regi&oacute;n.Este esfuerzo es vital para todos. Crea una comunidad justa e inclusiva. El noreste de Illinois necesita mejorar la movilidad y el acceso. Esto ayuda a la oportunidad econ&oacute;mica y calidad de vida.El plan ON TO 2050 tiene como objetivo el desarrollo/crecimiento inclusivo. Sugiere formas para mejorar el acceso a las calles y crear viviendas accesibles. Tambi&eacute;n recomienda apoyar las v&iacute;as laborales para las personas con discapacidades.Abordaremos estos retos trabajando juntos.

Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan

The Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan will identify transportation assets vulnerable to climate change and prioritize them for resilience investments.

As part of the long-range transportation planning process, federal law requires metropolitan planning organizations to develop a financial plan that &ldquo;demonstrates how the adopted transportation plan can be implemented&rdquo; (23 CFR &sect;&thinsp;450.324(f)(11)). The financial plan &mdash; which will ultimately be a standalone component of the <a href="https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/2026-rtp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2026 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)</a> &mdash; must demonstrate fiscal constraint by determining that sufficient funding resources will be available to invest in the transportation system as recommended in the long-range plan. To meet these requirements, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) must assess the anticipated expenditures and revenue sources necessary to carry out the operation, maintenance, and expansion of the region&rsquo;s transportation system over the planning period (2027-50). This process provides opportunities to: <ul><li>ensure the transportation-related goals, strategies, and projects identified in the RTP are financially feasible and sustainable</li><li>explore present-day and anticipated trends and policies that might impact future financial conditions</li><li>identify any funding gaps that need to be addressed and/or funding strategies that should be leveraged to achieve desired transportation outcomes</li></ul>Comprised of representatives from regional, state, and federal transportation agencies, as well as academic and policy subject matter experts, the Financial Plan Resource Group will support these activities by providing input and guidance on a variety of data and assumptions that will pose implications across the financial planning process.This page will be updated regularly with materials related to the resource group, including presentations, meeting notes, and more.

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.

Lemont's Plan for Accessible Streets and Sidewalks

Hillside developed its plan for accessible streets and sidewalks in 2024 and 2025. It examines how sidewalks, crosswalks, and pathways serve people with disabilities. The goal is to create streets that allow everyone to safely navigate their community. The plan is scheduled for adoption by the Hillside Village Board on Monday, November 17, 2025.It has two phases: a self-evaluation and a transition plan. A Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) grant funds the plan. CMAP is leading efforts to develop these plans for several cities.

To prevent discrimination, the ADA requires a self-evaluation and transition plan. The plan identifies those responsible for implementing the plan.Self-EvaluationThe self-evaluation of the streets and sidewalks focuses on identifying existing conditions by: <ul><li>Finding physical obstacles and policies that limit access. </li><li>Seeking public input to develop the plan. This includes identifying where people face challenges in navigating sidewalks, crosswalks, and pathways. </li></ul>Street features that may challenge people with disabilities are:<ol data-block-id="f4626bc3-b8d9-44a3-94a6-6167f814d50d"><li>Broken (or nonexistent) sidewalks.</li><li>Intersections without curb ramps and crosswalks.</li><li>Inaccessible street parking.</li></ol>These barriers can prevent people from accessing jobs, education, healthcare, and transit. They can also limit access to vital community services and amenities.Transition PlanThis occurs after the Self-Evaluation is complete. It includes: <ul><li>Describing how facilities will meet ADA requirements. The focus is on key streets serving public buildings, parks, and transit.</li><li>Developing a schedule to show when this will occur.</li><li>Identifying policies and programs that impact street access for people with disabilities. </li></ul>Hillside must also post public notices and grievance procedures required by the ADA. <hr>Why is ADA compliance important? Everyone has a right to use Hillside&#39;s sidewalks. Providing facilities that follow ADA requirements makes them usable for those with disabilities. It also allows their families and friends to go with them. Safe, accessible sidewalks and crosswalks serve strollers, kids, and seniors.ADA compliance is also essential because it improves our region&#39;s resilience. Meeting federal requirements secures millions in transportation funding for our region.Other interesting facts:<ul><li data-block-id="ebf9bd6c-c87b-4ae3-a278-c55bd34d3618">New sidewalks, crossings, and traffic signals must meet applicable standards.</li><li data-block-id="ebf9bd6c-c87b-4ae3-a278-c55bd34d3618">Work zones must allow sidewalks and crossings to be usable. This is especially true when sidewalk detours are in place. </li><li>The cost of improvements is never a reason not to make streets accessible. </li><li>ADA requirements address many street features many take for granted: <ul><li>Sidewalk widths, surfaces, and slopes, </li><li>Curb ramps at street corners and mid-block crosswalks, </li><li>Pedestrian crossing signals (audible and vibrotactile features), </li><li>Crosswalk push buttons and signal cycle timing, </li><li>On-street and Electric Vehicle parking, </li><li>Transit stops. </li></ul></li></ul> <hr>Who&#39;s leading this plan?Hillside partnered with CMAP and Vitruvian Planning to develop the plan.

Lincolnwood Plan for Accessible Streets & Sidewalks

Welcome to the Village of La Grange Park Accessibility Improvements Engagement Platform. The goal is to improve safety and accessibility for everyone who uses our sidewalks, including people with disabilities, and make our sidewalks and pedestrian facilities fully accessible to all individuals. 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. If you or your loved ones use sidewalks in La Grange Park, we need your help!No one knows your community better than you, so we invite you to join us in this important effort.WE NEED YOUR HELP!<ol><li>Review the draft ADA Transition Plan (review period will close on November 21st)<ul><li>The draft ADA Transition Plan can be found by <a href="https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/26064/widgets/107193/documents/74025" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CLICKING HERE</a>.</li><li>Please reach out to Travis Helmkamp, project manager, at 618-345-2200 or <a href="mailto:travis.helmkamp@oatesassociates.com">travis.helmkamp@oatesassociates.com</a> for any reasonable accommodations including hard copies of the plan if desired. </li></ul></li><li>Answer a short survey to provide comments and feedback<ul><li>Tell us your thoughts and opinions on the draft ADA Transition Plan, <a href="https://engage.cmap.illinois.gov/embeds/projects/26064/survey-tools/27392" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>.</li><li>If you wish to talk directly to the project team, please call 618-345-2200 or <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:travis.helmkamp@oatesassociates.com">travis.helmkamp@oatesassociates.com</a>.</li></ul></li></ol>This plan will serve as a strategic roadmap for identifying and assessing barriers that currently impede accessibility on roads, sidewalks, crosswalks 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. These solutions will focus on the sidewalk sections that pose the greatest barrier to access in areas that are likely to receive high amounts of pedestrian activity.

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>

Regional capital projects (RCPs) 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 RCPs.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 RCPs 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 RCP 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.

This collaborative effort has created Braidwood&rsquo;s first comprehensive plan in two decades.The plan is a policy document and is not legally-binding. It addresses Braidwood&rsquo;s challenges and opportunities by offering recommendations and suggested strategies that both preserve and build upon the town&rsquo;s unique character. It provides guidance for making informed decisions on land use, community development, transportation, economic development, and parks and recreation. It is also adaptable, allowing for modifications as community needs evolve.
