The Illinois Tollway worked closely with communities, businesses, elected officials, transit and transportation organizations to plan for and implement improvements as part of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) Rebuilding and Widening Project. In addition, the Tollway hosted public open house meetings, community briefings and worked with residents and businesses to provide information and answer questions.

I-90 CORRIDOR PLANNING COUNCIL

The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) Corridor Planning Council completed an assessment on how to combine the reconstruction of the Tollway's portion of I-90 with plans to reduce congestion and increase environmentally sound transportation options throughout the corridor, including express bus lanes and congestion pricing.

The Council's Findings and Recommendations document includes a series of recommendations to create a state-of-the-art corridor that will better connect the Rockford and Chicago metropolitan areas. The Council's Final Resolution supports the implementation of managed lanes on I-90.

Co-chaired by the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the I-90 Corridor Planning Council also included representatives from:

• The Illinois Department of Transportation
• Regional transit and transportation planning agencies
• Local business and environmental groups
• Five county boards along the I-90 corridor
• Legislators
• Northwest Municipal Conference
