2022 Budget in Brief

82nd Avenue Multi-use Path (Arrowhead Lane to 151st Street)

Tinley Creek Bank Stabilization (151st Street to South of 159th Street)

The project, when completed, will improve the Village’s multi-use path network and provide a continuous off- street multi-use path along 82nd Avenue and connect to existing paths. Possible development of the Silver Creek Golf Course may be included in the project as well. An asphalt path will be installed along with a pedestrian crossing countdown heads at signalized intersections. The multi-use path will connect to the existing path south of 138th Place and the existing path along the south side of 151st Street. 153rd Street and Ravinia Avenue This project will evaluate the existing intersection for improvements to the capacity and safety. All sidewalks and crosswalks will be brought into compliance with current ADA requirements. Multiple intersection design options are under consideration with a roundabout as one of the design solutions. The project is currently in the preliminary engineering phase. Grant funding will be applied for on the subsequent design engineering and construction phase of the project.

The project will address the ongoing erosion issues occurring along Tinley Creek. The creek will be maintained by the Village through a Special Service Area (SSA) agreement, if approved. The improvements will range from structural (gabion walls, concrete walls, etc.) to vegetative planting. Existing property owners will need to provide easement rights for work to occur along their property. The preliminary design is in progress. 143rd Street Widening Improvements The143rd Street project improvements will add capacity to the roadway and improve traffic signal coordination. Improvements to the roadway will also address existing traffic safety issues for motorists and pedestrians. There are three major sections of this project: Will-Cook Road to Wolf Road, Wolf Road to Southwest Highway, and the traffic signal interconnect from Wolf Road to Southwest Highway that is currently in construction.

McGinnis Slough Multi-Use Path (Arrowhead Lane to 151st Street)

Wolf Road Bridge Over Interstate-80

This Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) project will widen and repair the existing Wolf Road bridge that goes over I-80 and add a multi-use trail connection for future system expansion. The bridge and adjacent roadway will be removed and replaced. Drainage and grading improvements will also be performed.

The project will provide a continuous scenic multi-use path through McGinnis Slough, located west of La Grange Road and south of 131st Street, that will serve the northwest area of the Village. An asphalt multi-use path will be installed though the ComEd power line area starting at La Grange Road and ending near Will-Cook Road. The project will add viewing areas at the slough perimeter and connect to the existing subdivisions in the northwest section of the Village.
