The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) is hosting a public hearing for the proposed improvement plan for Cedar Lake Road between Nippersink Road and Hart Road in the Village of Round Lake.
The purpose of the meeting is to present the preferred alternative, findings of the environmental studies, and collect public input. The preferred alternative improvement consists of realigning Cedar Lake Road to the west with
a new at-grade crossing with the railroad. Improvements to Metra’s Milwaukee District North Round Lake station site, a new bike path and sidewalks are being proposed as well.
Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2022
Time: 5 - 7 p.m.
Place: Magee Middle School, 500 N. Cedar Lake Road, Round Lake
The meeting will consist of a presentation starting at 5:15 p.m. followed by an opportunity for the public to provide a two-minute statement to a court reporter regarding the project. After the opportunity for public comment, the project
team will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.
This meeting will be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Anyone needing special assistance should contact Chuck Gleason, LCDOT Phase I Project Manager at 847-377-7447 at least five days prior to the meeting.
Materials from this hearing presentation will be available on the project website within a few days of the hearing.
About the Project
LCDOT is currently studying the realignment of Cedar Lake Road in downtown Round Lake. Realigning the road has been discussed since the 1970s as an opportunity for the Village of Round Lake to redevelop its central business district.
In 2012, this section of Cedar Lake Road was jurisdictionally transferred to Lake County from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Since then, Lake County has been working with the Village on the possibility of a realignment project.
Currently, the project is in preliminary engineering phase and a preferred alternative detailing the improvements has been established. The public is encouraged to learn more about the project and provide their thoughts on the progress so far at the upcoming public hearing.
