Next year, another public information meeting will be scheduled to present the alignments selected for more detailed study. PeoriaPeoria toto MacombMacomb Thank you for attending this meeting and for your interest in this study. HighwayHighway StudyStudy FREEWAY VS. EXPRESSWAY The alignments presented in this meeting are shown as expressway designs except for the first three miles on the east and west ends. The first three miles are required to be freeway because Illinois 336 will connect to a freeway (I-474 or US 67 - Macomb Bypass). The remainder of each of the alignments could be constructed as an expressway or freeway, or some combination. The costs for both types of Open House design are presented in the impact tables for each alignment. Public Meeting In the next public meeting, more information will be presented regarding the differences between a freeway design and an expressway design. A decision will be made regarding these issues after the next meeting and the public Tuesday, December 7, 2004 comment period. 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. PROJECT WEBSITE Canton High School Gym A website for this project is being created at 1001 N.

Key Map: Macomb to Marietta Key Map: Norris to Peoria ALIGNMENT PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT Key Map: Marietta to Norris Hearings were held in February 2004 to announce the selection of a preferred corridor. In response to input from the public, IDOT elected to modify the preferred corridor by expanding it in one area near Bushnell. The revised Corridor Report, with the modified preferred corridor as the selected corridor, received formal approval on June 23, 2004. The approved report and maps can be viewed on IDOT's website at www.dot.state.il.us/desenv/env.html. Since June, work has been proceeding on developing alternative highway alignments within the selected corridor. The potential alignment paths are at least 300 feet wide for the four-lane highway. From Macomb to Marietta, five alternative alignments are under study; there are six alternative alignments from Marietta to Norris, and three from Norris to Peoria. Not all of these alignments will be studied in detail. This open house meeting is an opportunity for the public to review the preliminary alignments and provide feedback on the relative merits of the alignments from the public perspective. Your input will help IDOT eliminate some alignments while continuing study, development, and refinement of the others, ultimately assisting IDOT in making a final alignment selection. Maps and exhibits of the alignments as well as assessment data are presented at this meeting. Impact Tables The table on this page summarizes the impacts of the alignments. Total right of way (R.O.W.) required for each potential alignment is categorized by agricultural, wooded, grassland, and other land. Relocations and bridges required for each potential alignment are listed. Because the decision of highway type has not yet been made, construction costs are shown for both expressway and freeway. .

  • 11Chap 5 Transportation 3 20 06.Pdf
    CHAPTER FIVE TRANSPORTATION INTRODUCTION Transportation planning is commonly equated with the construction of new roadways, the expansion of existing roadways, or other projects which are designed to reduce traffic congestion and to accommodate future increases in automobile demand. Such transportation needs are directly related to the type and intensity of the land uses that develop along roadways, and other developments that are served by the road network. Those roadways located within the Study Area for the Corridor Plan were further examined in terms of access to adjoining properties, future road extensions, future frontage and backage roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The conclusions presented at the end of this Chapter provide the basis for recommended conditions for development approval and continuing implementation strategies that are contained within Chapter Two – the Recommended Plan. PROJECT DESCRIPTION, LOCATION AND PURPOSE The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is constructing a four-lane, divided highway from a point south of the City of Carthage in Hancock County, Illinois, to the west side of the City of Macomb in McDonough County, Illinois (See Figure 5A). The proposed highway will be designated as Federal Aid Primary Route 315 (FAP 315) and marked as Illinois Route 336 (IL 336). It will generally parallel and replace the existing two-lane U.S. Route 136 (U.S. 136). Having a functional classification of principal arterial highway with partial access control, the proposed highway will be constructed with interchanges at Illinois Route 94 (IL 94) east of Carthage, Illinois Route 61 (IL 61) west of Tennessee, and at U.S. Route 136 west of Macomb.
