Discussion Held

Result: Accepted And Placed On File

9. Discussion - Fy2018 Com Ed Vegetative Maintenance Plan

Director Snyder updated the Committee on ComEd's proposed 2018 and 2019-2022 Vegetative maintenance activities. At the request of the Committee members, DOT staff will arrange for a ComEd representative to attend a future Transportation Committee meeting to discuss planned activities in detail.

10. Report From State's Attorney's Office

11. Old Business

Member Krajewski inquired as to the status of a regional overweight/overdimension permitting process. Director Snyder advised that such a process has been a strategic initiative of CMAP. It makes sense that the State would be a lead in this effort given their current process and recent integrations with the Tollway.

12. New Business

Vice Chairman Healy inquired about potential capital improvement projects that might benefit from passage of a new Federal Transportation Bill. Director Snyder advised the DOT has a number of projects already being processed as federally eligible that could be submitted if a funding source(s) were made available as part of a Federal bill.

Member Healy encouraged DOT to consider inclusion of right turn lanes when developing projects along the 75th Street corridor, especially westbound.

Director Snyder advised the Committee that the DOT has been awarded a federal grant of $1.5M for resurfacing Grand Avenue, from Lake Street to County Line Road and an additional $740K (Federal) for the 55th Street, Dunham Road to Clarendon Hills Road project.

13. Adjournment
