Welcome to the Willow Road Study Website!
This website is dedicated to the Willow Road Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Study being initiated by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in September 2009. The Willow Road study limits extend from approximately Illinois Route 43 (Waukegan Road) to Interstate 94 (Edens Expressway), a distance of two miles. The project area is located primarily within the Village of Northfield, but also affects the Villages of Northbrook, Glenview, and Winnetka. The Department’s Context Sensitive Solutions policy will be used to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas between the four communities and IDOT. This website is intended to keep you informed about many different aspects of the study. It will be updated on a regular basis to facilitate the exchange of information. Some of the key information to be posted on the website will be:
- information about upcoming meetings and events;
- study documents that can be both viewed on-line and/or downloaded;
- links to other resources.
In addition, you will be able to provide your comments and inquiries directly to the project team through this website.
Introduction
The primary goal of the Willow Road Study is to work with the communities to improve the overall safety and mobility of Willow Road so that it is capable of meeting the current and future demands of all users for many years to come. Residents, business leaders and local representatives will have opportunities to be engaged in the 24-month study through public involvement meetings, workshops, and a Community Advisory Group (CAG).
We look forward to working with you.
