Public Involvement

These meetings will provide a forum for stakeholders to provide input, including concerns and comments regarding the study schedule and traffic management. Any stakeholder who shows interest in the study will be added to the stakeholder database, ensuring that they will receive newsletters, meeting invitations, and study updates.
What can you expect at a public meeting?
During public meetings, staff from the project team will be on hand to share project information and collect stakeholder comments and feedback. This study is being conducted using elements and principles of IDOT’s Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) Policy. CSS is an interdisciplinary approach that seeks effective, multi-modal transportation solutions by working with stakeholders.
