2018 CONN ECTING INVEST AN INITIATIVE OF: 3 IN COOK COOK COUNTY Source: Cook County 78th AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION MUNICIPALITY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT(S) LIMITS Village of Bridgeview 6 79th Street to 71st Street PROJECT TYPE PROJECT PHASE IIC AWARD Freight Preliminary Engineering $350,000 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This grant funds preliminary engineering for the full reconstruction of 78th Avenue, a truck route in poor condition serving 12 manufacturing, trucking, and meat processing firms that in aggregate employ more than 1,600 workers. Many of these businesses are served by rail spurs from the Indiana Harbor Belt, providing them with another modal shipping option. This roadway is also important to trucking because it provides an alternative north-south route to Roberts Road and Harlem Avenue. The west side of 78th Avenue is residential and includes a school, requiring careful planning to reduce conflicts and ensure safety. A field survey of 43 roadway segments across the County conducted as part of the Cook County Freight Plan identified this facility as a high priority for improvement because of its regional significance. ALIGNMENT WITH CONNECTING COOK COUNTY • Supports the region’s role as a freight center by: Making an improvement to a designated truck route; and Improving the safe movement of freight in the region; and • Maintains and modernizes existing infrastructure and improves signals to help safety and traffic flow. • Increases investment in transportation by leveraging other funding. 2018 CONN ECTING INVEST AN INITIATIVE OF: 4 IN COOK COOK COUNTY BRAGA DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS MUNICIPALITY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT(S) LIMITS Village of Broadview 1 25th Avenue to 17th Avenue PROJECT TYPE PROJECT PHASE IIC AWARD Freight Construction $145,000 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This grant funds the reconstruction of Braga Drive, which is flanked by heavy industrialized properties on both sides of the road. The existing roadway is deteriorated and in need of repair. New pavement and lighting will ensure safer travel and reduce delays in an already congested industrial area. Improvements will also be made to the existing storm sewer system to prevent roadway flooding and the outdated water main will be upgraded. The Braga Drive corridor is also connected to the Broadview Village Square commercial shopping district hence it also often carries truck traffic from the commercial shopping district seeking to avoid a nearby rail crossing. ALIGNMENT WITH CONNECTING COOK COUNTY • Supports the region’s role as a freight center by: Making an improvement to a designated truck route. Improving the safe movement of freight in the region; and • Maintains and modernizes existing infrastructure and improves signals to help safety and traffic flow; and • Increases investment in transportation by leveraging other funding. 2018 CONN ECTING INVEST AN INITIATIVE OF: 5 IN COOK COOK COUNTY 31st STREET MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR IMPACT STUDY MUNICIPALITY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT(S) LIMITS Village of Brookfield 16, 17 Maple Avenue to 1st Avenue PROJECT TYPE PROJECT PHASE IIC AWARD Roadway Preliminary Engineering $85,000 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This is a bike/ped project as well as a roadway project to improve all modes of transportation on the 31st Street Corridor from Prairie Avenue to 1st Avenue. This grant will fund a feasibility/planning study for the accident-prone intersection at Maple Avenue and 31st Street as well as a preliminary engineering study for a bike/ pedestrian path along 31st Street. The Village must review these two challenges of the 31st corridor in tandem to improve the corridor for businesses, visitors, and residents. Preliminary engineering will include an examination of intersection improvements including the potential for left turn lanes on 31st Street at Maple Avenue, an accident analysis, and a drainage analysis for the street and the zoo underpass. ALIGNMENT WITH CONNECTING COOK COUNTY • Prioritizes transit and other transportation alternatives by encouraging non-auto trips and connecting neighborhoods. • Maintains and modernizes by: Repairing a facility that is currently in poor condition and brings it up to modern design standards; and Improving signals to help safety and traffic flow and implementing safety features that were not there. • Increases
