Marengo Plans for New Tollway Exit the Oasis That www.boonecountyjournal.com In Our 21st Year 815-544-4430 The Boone County Journal December 2, 2016 1 FREE COUNTY LOCAL NEWS, OPINION & HISTORY Real Journalism for a Real Democracy www.boonecountyjournal.com Published Every Friday • December 2nd, 2016 • Vol 21 • Issue 31 No. 1071 Marengo Plans for New Tollway Exit By Charles Herbst At its November 14 meeting, the Marengo City Council approved the interchange design for a complete interchange at Illinois Route 23 and the Interstate 90 Tollway. The McHenry County Board had approved the interchange at their September 7 meeting. This is a major development that will bring historic change to Western McHenry, Eastern Boone and Northern DeKalb Counties. The selected design features 4 ramps between the Tollway and Route 23. Two single-lane roundabouts at the junction will make it possible to avoid adding traffic signals. A third roundabout would be built at the intersection of Harmony Road. Roundabouts are less expensive and don’t require as much maintenance as traffic signals. The Illinois Tollway plans to reconstruct the Route 23 bridge in 2017 and build access ramps thereafter. The ramp construction project is included in the McHenry County 2016 to 2020 Transportation Plan. Typically, half of the interchange cost would be paid by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, which would be financed by tolls collected. The other half would come from local sources. By timing this improvement to coincide with the Tollway modernization, the local cost of building the interchange has been greatly reduced. Because the Illinois Tollway is replacing the Route 23 bridge as part of the reservations at the Fred Harvey Restaurant housed in the rebuilding and widening of the Interstate 90 Tollway, the Des Plaines Oasis. Tollway Authority will pay the full cost of the bridge. The The Oasis that Was The Des Plaines Oasis was one of the original five shared cost to construct the ramps is approximately $50 oasis constructed at the same time Interstate 90 was built. million.

  • Eastern Corridor Study, Answer Questions, and Receive Input on the Alignments
    EASTERN DSATS CORRIDOR STUDY FINAL October 28, 2009 Executive Summary The DeKalb-Sycamore Area Transportation Study (DSATS) initiated this study to identify four possible alignments for a new north-south transportation corridor to service the eastern DSATS planning area. Initially, nine alternatives were created within termini specified by DSATS using Illinois Department of Transportation geometric design criteria and evaluating current land use, published future land use plans, topography, and floodplain and wetland maps within the study area. The termini of the proposed alignments for the corridor were Plank Road to the north and Gurler Road to the south. The following improvements were proposed for each corridor: a grade separated crossing with the Union Pacific Railroad; structures where the corridor crossed the East Branch Kishwaukee River and Union Ditches 1, 2, or 3; a full access interchange where the corridor intersects Interstate 88; and intersection improvements with the existing roadways. The nine potential alignments for an eastern DSATS corridor were evaluated at a design charrette that was attended by representatives from DSATS, the City of DeKalb, the City of Sycamore, the Town of Cortland, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, and the DeKalb County Highway Department. The alignments were ranked against screening criteria that included mobility, local access, compatibility with local land use plans, encouragement of economic development, regional access and system connectivity, environmental impacts, farmland impacts, and use of existing alignments. Based on the group discussion and the total scores obtained, several alignments were selected for further analysis. The Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois State Toll Highway Authority and the Union Pacific Railroad were contacted to obtain their feedback on the eastern DSATS corridor study.

  • City of Ottawa Bicycle Plan
    CITY OF OTTAWA BICYCLE PLAN June 5, 2012 City of Ottawa, Illinois League of Illinois Bicyclists 301 W. Madison Street 2550 Cheshire Drive Ottawa, IL 61350 Aurora, IL 60504 (815) 433-0161 (630) 978-0583 CITY OF OTTAWA BICYCLE PLAN Executive Summary The City of Ottawa has developed this plan to become a safer, more pleasant place for residents and visitors who bicycle, whether for recreation or for transportation, by choice or by necessity. By completing this plan, Ottawa joins an increasing number of Illinois cities desiring to be bike- friendly – and puts the City in better position to win future bikeway and trail grants. Detailed recommendations specify a preferred network for bicycle travel throughout the City, while education, encouragement, and enforcement resources are identified to leverage infrastructure investments and further improve bicycling conditions. A grid of “routes to study” came from City staff and consultant, the City’s Bike Path Committee, and a public brainstorming workshop. Each potential network segment was objectively analyzed for the most appropriate bikeway type based on feasibility, safety, implementation cost, and other technical and strategic factors. In some cases, the plan called for off-road bikeways and trails. However, in many others, an on- road designated bikeway was deemed best, for the above reasons. This is counterintuitive to most people (especially non-cyclists), so the plan explains intersection and car-bike safety dynamics to justify its on-road recommendations. While the plan’s primary audience is the casual adult bicyclist, the plan addresses the lower mental and physical capabilities of children by calling for continuous sidewalks along roads with an on-road recommendation.
