Virtual Public Hearing on May 25 regarding Deerfield Road Corridor from Milwaukee Avenue (IL 21) to Saunders/Riverwoods Road
Lake County, IL — The Lake County Division of Transportation is conducting a Public Hearing to present and seek input on the final Deerfield Road project Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preferred Alternative.
The preferred alternative improvement consists of reconstructing Deerfield Road from Milwaukee Avenue to Saunders/Riverwoods Road with additional lanes added at the Milwaukee Avenue intersection and 3-lane curbed roadway from the Des Plaines River to Saunders/Riverwoods Road with multi-use path and drainage improvements. Minor intersection improvements will be made at the Portwine Road (northbound and southbound left turn lane) and Saunders/Riverwoods Road (northbound right turn lane) intersections. The preferred alternative addresses capacity, safety, drainage and non-motorized travel deficiencies, and accommodates future travel demand.
Lake County has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1968 and this public hearing is being held to address requirements of 23 U.S.C. 128 and 139, and the Council on Environmental Quality regulations.
All persons interested in the project are invited to attend the meeting to express their views and comment on the project.
To protect the health and safety of all participants, the public hearing will be held VIRTUALLY on Tuesday, May 25, at 4 p.m. This live event will also grant the public opportunity to provide their 2-minute statement to a court reporter regarding the Preferred Alternative and the EA. A Q&A session with the project team will follow the public comment opportunity. Participants can register to join the public hearing at any time by visiting the project website at DeerfieldRoadCorridor.com. All public hearing materials, including the Environmental Assessment and Preferred Alternatives design, will be available on the project website beginning May 10.
