2026 Budget In Brief

Ravinia Avenue Extension Village engineering staff are finalizing plans for the extension of Ravinia Avenue from its current southern limit near Cost co to LaGrange Road, an important infrastructure project championed by Mayor Jim Dodge to support the Village’s continued growth and improve regional traffic flow. The project also includes the installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of LaGrange Road and Ravinia Avenue (161st Street). Through Mayor Dodge’s efforts to prioritize and secure funding for this improvement, the extension will allow Ravinia Ave nue to serve as an alternative north–south route for motorists, helping relieve congestion at the Village’s busiest intersection at 159th Street and LaGrange Road. Construction of the Ravinia Avenue extension is scheduled for 2026 and will help accommodate future traffic generat ed by the under-construction Pulte development, the proposed Amazon development and the proposed relocation and expansion of the Costco gas station.
