SYSTEM EXPANSION PROJECTS

LAKE COUNTY’S2040 TRANSPORTATION PLAN• Long range plan to identify

deficiencies and recommend improvements to address future transportation needs

• In development since 2010

• Network modeled from CMAP regional model with local characteristics

• Includes 2040 population and employment projections and corresponding traffic impacts

• Proposed improvements prioritized based on forecasted deficiency, prior study, cost and people-jobs potential

2040 ROADWAY PRIORITIES• Peak period trips estimated

to increase by 36% between 2010 and 2040

• 212 miles of roadway Improvements recommended

• 7 interchange

• 9 intersection

• 65 corridor

• Plan recommends an

additional 300 miles of non-motorized facilities

• Primarily off-street multi-use path for cyclist, pedestrian and other non-motorized use

• Many projects connect to Metra and bus routes for improved viability of non-motorized travel

• Provide essential non-motorized connections to communities, jobs, parks, schools, forest preserves

• Jurisdiction over non-motorized facilities by Lake County DOT, Lake County Forest Preserves, townships, municipalities and institutions

2040 NON-MOTORIZED PRIORITIES

• Variety of transit services are needed to address county needs:

• Demand response

• Fixed route bus

• Commuter rail• Recommendations based on

assessed needs with regard to:

• Connectivity

• Existing facilities and services

• Jurisdictional issues

• Considered previous plan results (CMAP GOTO2040, Lake County 2020 Transportation Priority Plan)
