This project is being done in conjunction with a Federal-Aid highway improvement. North Shore Council of Mayors, Surface Transportation Program Urban (STU), ENG 2 $362,414 and CON $3,951,099. TIP# 02-13-0004 & Section#16-00199-00-RS. Project Description Provide a brief description of the project: STP funds are being used to reconstruct the roadways as part of a separate project. This project complements the roadway project by providing streetscape and pedestrian enhancements that will coincide with the overall reconstruction project. Central and Wilmette Avenues are the Village Center's primary pedestrian shopping streets. Project Relationship to Surface Transportation: Central and Wilmette Avenues are considered the "Main Streets" for downtown Wilmette providing access and mobility. This project improves multi-modal efficiency, attractiveness, and comfort within the downtown and adjacent neighborhood. Wilmette's Metra train station, Village Hall, an elementary school and churches lie within the project limits. Pace operates routes 421 & 423 along Central Avenue. Bicyclist use Central to connect between the Green Bay Trail and Sheridan Road bike lanes. Project Location: Central Avenue (FAU 9-1296) and Wilmette Avenue (FAU 9-1297). Project Limits: Central Avenue from Green Bay Road (FAU 9-2744) to Sheridan Road (FAU 9-3509) and Wilmette Avenue from Green Bay Road (FAU 9-2744) to Lake Avenue. Project Length: 5,800 feet -1.1 mile Project Scope Of Work: The streetscape enhancements will be consistent with the Village Center Master Plan and include: Central Business District landscaping (trees, perennials, permanent planter boxes, and tree grates); stamped concrete sidewalk with accent pavers within the downtown, permeable parking pavers; enlarged hardscape area at Central Elementary School to accommodate the arrival of students; increased visibility crosswalk pavers, resetting existing historic sidestreet pavers disturbed by the roadway reconstruction; curb bump outs; raised intersection pavement at 8th and 11th Streets to increase awareness, protect pedestrians, and control speed; permanent benches; bike racks; wayfinding signage; an informational kiosk near Village Hall, downtown pedestrian lighting, painting existing historic light poles within the residential section; and new decorative traffic signal posts at the Central Avenue at Wilmette Avenue intersection. Anticipated Benefits: The Village has completed similar enhancement improvements along adjacent roadways over the years including Green Bay Road and Sheridan Road. This project is needed to enhance the aesthetic value along this multi-modal transportation corridor within the Village. The improvements will provide traffic calming, beautification, and is part of a Village-wide plan to provide multi-modal connectivity to the Central Business District. Aside from the CBD, Village Hall, and the Metra station, this will improve connectivity to area parks (Gillson Park), Wilmette Harbor, and the Baha'i Temple. The Village has adopted a "Complete Streets" policy and this project would be used to help implement the policy goals. Describe how the project will improve safety for transportation facility users: Raised intersections and paver crosswalks will enhance pedestrian safety for the downtown intersections. Parkway bump-outs near intersections will also be constructed in an effort to narrow the width of the pavement that pedestrians need to cross from one side of the street to the other. The driver sight lines will be improved at 11th and Central by moving the stop bar. Project Status Project Relationship What relationship does your project have with other planned improvements? Project is a stand-alone project Project is proposed to be developed and implemented with another project Project is a part of a larger project (not being implemented at the same time) Project is an extension of a completed project Project completes a previously ITEP-funded project Have funds from the ITEP been previously committed to the proposed enhancement project?

  • A History of the Rail Line in Winnetka Why Are the Train Tracks Lower in Winnetka?
    A History of tHe Rail line in WinnetkA Why Are the train tracks lower in Winnetka? Grade crossings were a perennial danger in downtown Winnetka. In 1854, only two tracks existed with two trains a day. The addition of the North Shore Electric Line increased the tracks to four sets. By 1909, there were 177 daily steam engine trains and frequent commuter trains passing by and stopping in Winnetka. As rail traffic increased and the population grew, so did the number of automobiles, cyclists and pedestrians. Accidents resulted in 31 deaths and numerous injuries, but proposed solutions foundered for lack of funding. Winnetka Grade Separation Project, 1939 The “Big Ditch” construction project began in 1938 and ran from Indian Hill to Hubbard Woods. It included seven bridges Drawing of Proposed Track Depression by Village Engineer Frank A. Windes, 1906 (two for pedestrians) and three train stations along with retaining walls. Much of the excavated soil was used as landfill in Crow With the community demanding action, a funding solution was finally achieved. Island Woods. After five years of construction, the project was Of critical importance was a commitment from the Public Works Administration, headed completed in 1943. by Secretary of the Interior and Winnetkan Harold L. Ickes, to fund 45% of the project. The Village contributed 29%, and the balance was funded by the Chicago & North Western and North Shore railroad companies. The Chicago & North Western railroad was in favor of the plan, as their trains had been getting stuck on the incline between Evanston and Winnetka for decades. An additional engine was frequently sent from Evanston to push the train up the bluff into Winnetka.
