In order to meet the intent of tiering, the FHWA developed a program-specific environmental strategy, known as the SPEED Strategy, for the CREATE Program. Integral components of the SPEED Strategy are the Feasibility Plan and Preliminary Screening (FP&PS) documents.

    CONSENT AGENDA #5. PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 1420 Miner Street Des Plaines, IL 60016 P: 847.391.5390 desplaines.org MEMORANDUM Date: November 17, 2020 To: Michael G. Bartholomew, MCP, LEED-AP, City Manager From: Jon Duddles, P.E., CFM, Assistant Director of Public Works and Engineering Cc: Timothy P. Oakley, P.E., CFM, Director of Public Works and Engineering Subject: Rand Road Sidepath Project – Railroad Crossing Agreements Issue: The City was awarded Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program funds to construct the Rand Road Sidepath project. The path will be located on the south side of Rand Road (Central Rd to Elk Blvd) and will cross over two sets of railroad tracks. An agreement with each railroad, the Wisconsin Central Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad, is required. Analysis: These agreements will grant the City rights to construct, maintain and repair a new multi-use path within the railroad right of way at each of these crossings. Each railroad will construct pedestrian gates, lights, and crossing surfaces at their tracks. The City will be reimbursed these costs through the grant. The addition of sidewalk/sidepath along the Rand Road corridor is one of the most highly requested facilities in the City. Under existing conditions, there is no sidewalk on either side along most of the length of the Rand Road corridor. The project will locally connect residential areas, schools, and businesses. This sidepath is part of the Northwest Municipal Conference Bike and Pedestrian Network. Recommendation: We recommend the City enter into two agreements with 1) Wisconsin Central Ltd. and 2) Union Pacific Railroad Company for the construction and maintenance of the Rand Road Sidepath project.

  • Class 1 Rail Lines in the Chicago Area BNSF
    Class 1 Rail Lines in the Chicago Area Routes, operations, traffic, etc. of the six Class 1 roads entering the Chicago area. Chicago's commuter train agency, Metra, is included since its routes and operations are closely intertwined with the Class 1s. Also provided are references to the major interlockings through which the routes pass. Use the links on the home page to find out more about these locations. BNSF BNSF is the easiest railroad to describe. It enters Chicagoland via just two routes, both of which see over 40 freights per day. Both are controlled by dispatchers in Ft.Worth, Texas. Chicago Subdivision: former Burlington Northern (Chicago, Burlington & Quincy) triple track main line (the "racetrack") between downtown Chicago and Aurora. The Chicago sub extends west from the Canal Street Wye, passing through Union Avenue, LaVergne, Congress Park and LaGrange on its way to Aurora. In addition to BNSF freights, UP trains on trackage rights can also be seen. Metra commuter trains use the line extensively, terminating at Aurora. Amtrak's California Zephyr, Southwest Chief and corridor trains to Quincy, Illinois, also use the Chicago sub. An average weekday sees about 100 trains. On the west side of Aurora, the route splits. The Mendota Subdivision extends from Aurora to Galesburg, Illinois. Beyond Galesburg, this line reaches west to Omaha and Denver. The Aurora Subdivision runs from Aurora through Rochelle to Savanna, Illinois, and from there the line runs along the Mississippi River to the Twin Cities and points west. Chillicothe Subdivision: extends from approximately Corwith Yard on Chicago's south side to Fort Madison, Iowa.
