INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Citv of Elmhurst The City of Elmhurst; Illinois is generally bordered by Interstate 294 on the East, Roosevelt Road on the South, Illinois State Route 83 on the West and Grand Avenue on the North, The City was founded 77 years ago. As of the 1990 census, the City had a population of 42.029. Water is furnished from Lake Michigan and the City also maintains a sewage disposal system and a solid waste disposal. The City is governed by a Mayor, alderman and a City Manager to run daily operations. Also, the City maintains a Police Department of approximately 63, a Fire Department of approximately 38 with two fire stations and a public library. The City is located approximately 15 miles away from downtown Chicaso and is accessible by Tri-State tollway 294/Imerstate 290: Illinois State Route 83 & 64. The Redevelopment Project Area The proposed Route 83/St. Charles Road Redevelopment Project Area (the "RPA'M established pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74. 4-1 et see.) (the "Act") represents a significant opportunity for commercial development within the City. Covering approximately 33.5 acres within City boundaries, the Route 83/St. Charles Road Redevelopment Project Area will provide land for a number of commercial facilities engaged in distribution of a diverse range of goods. Located at approximately the northwest corner of St. Charles Road and West Street and adjacent to Route 83 on the west side, it has access to Route 83, and access to interstates. The RPA is legally described in Exhibit A, attached and a pan hereof. A boundary map is attached and made a pan hereof as Exhibit B. Description of RPA The proposed Route 83/St. Charles Road Redevelopment Project Area consists of an area within the boundaries of the City located generally north of St. Charles Road (south of the Right Of Way ("R.O.W.") line), east of State Route 83 (Robert Kingery Highway), south of the Chicago Centra] & Pacific railroad tracks and west of West Avenue (east R.O.W, line). The RPA is greater than 1-1/2 acres. The total area of the RPA including the City of Elmhurst Public Works Facility ("Public Works Facility"), Shopping Center, West Avenue .and St. Charles R.O.W. is: approximately 1.459,550 square feet or 33.5 acres. The Public Works Facility comprise approximately 11.9 acres, the Shopping Center 18.8 acres and R.O.W. 2.8 acres. The Public Works Facility have approximately 52,000 square feet of building and the Shopping Center has 309,400 square feet for a total building area of approximately 361,400 SQuare feet. Despite its favorable location, the development of commercial sites has been impaired. The City plans to encourage a more comprehensive redevelopment of the RPA. In order to accomplish such redevelopment, the City has undertaken the designation of the RPA and begun to explore methods of providing the necessary improvements within the RPA. The relocation of the Public Works Facility will be required. Public assistance is required to promote redevelopment of the location of the Public Works Facility due to lack of suitable entry- ways and properly sized lots and buildings. The City plans on demonstrating a positive marketplace signaJ through commercial redevelopment of the Public Works site. The scope of existing commercial development needs to be addressed by the City. It is important to future tenants/owners of property within the RPA that the marketplace perceives the property favorably. The RPA on the whole has not been subject to growth and development through investment by private enterprise and it is not reasonably anticipated to be developed without the adoption of this Redevelopment Plan and Project. Evidence of this finding is manifest from the facts that the physical condition of privately owned real estate in the RPA has deteriorated to the point that it contains the various eligibility factors described in the eligibility study, which conditions have persisted for some time without correction and there has been no new investment in this part of the area for some time.

    State of Illinois Bruce Rauner, Governor Illinois Department of Transportation Randall S. Blankenhorn, Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: August 20, 2015 Guy Tridgell 312.793.4199 Weekend Closures for Byrne Flyover Work Start Friday CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation today reminded motorists that four weekends of lane closures on the expressway system surrounding the Jane Byrne Interchange in Chicago will begin this Friday. “We have worked closely with the City of Chicago to make sure these upcoming weekends run as smoothly as possible,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “We wish to stress that Chicago remains open for business and people should continue to enjoy all the city has to offer. But they do need to plan accordingly, account for some longer travel times and should strongly consider taking alternate routes or public transportation, especially if they are driving during the overnight hours.” The closures are necessary for the installation of steel beams that will support the deck of the new flyover bridge linking the inbound Dan Ryan Expressway (westbound Interstate 90/94) to the outbound Eisenhower Expressway (westbound Interstate 290), part of the larger overhaul of the Jane Byrne Interchange. To stage and store equipment and materials, the inbound Kennedy Expressway (eastbound Interstate 90/94) ramp to inbound Congress Parkway closed Wednesday night and will remain closed until Aug. 31. A detour route is posted utilizing the Roosevelt Road exit, Jefferson Street, Harrison Street and Wells Street to connect with Congress Parkway. Over the next two weekends, the following ramps and lanes will be closed, weather permitting: Aug.

The department recently updated the project plans to include a second managed lane in each direction of I-55 between Interstate 294 (Tri-State Tollway) and Interstate 90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway). The meeting will be in an open-house format at the following time and location: Wednesday, Dec. 6 4 – 7 p.m. Toyota Park Stadium Club 7000 Harlem Ave. Bridgeview, Ill. 60455 The state received federal approval in 2016 to build one managed lane in each direction of I-55 between Interstate 355 near Bolingbrook to I-90/94 in Chicago. The revised project proposes to add the second managed lane north of the Tri-State Tollway within the existing IDOT right of way. The additional capacity will make it easier to maintain consistent, reliable speeds and travel times for all I-55 users. No funding has been identified for construction, but IDOT continues to pursue the project as a public-private partnership. Exhibits will be on display and an audio-visual presentation will be shown continuously during the meeting. Project team members will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.
