The Forest Preserve District of Cook County is one of the largest, most utilized Preserves in the nation. It manages more than 68,000 acres of woodlands and water bodies that provide habitat for a variety of plants and animals. Our public lands also provide a wide array of facilities for public education and outdoor recreation. The Forest Preserve District of Cook County and partner organizations invest over ten million dollars each year on capital improvement projects that restore or enhance its landscapes and facilities. The Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) is a five year projection of the Forest Preserve District’s infrastructure investment needs and priorities. Guiding Principles for this 2012 Update. Preliminary project suggestions have been evaluated against the District’s mission to restore, protect and preserve our natural lands and provide opportunities for public education or recreation as well as these Guiding Principles: 




Public Health, Safety, Access and Convenience. Does the project address pressing needs relating to public health, safety and accessibility, or improve access for people with disabilities, especially for facilities that are open to the public? Comprehensive Planning. Does it assess the condition of our land and facilities in a more comprehensive way and provide a framework for future investment decisions? Engaging New Forest Preserve Users. Does it engage stakeholders in planning for new facilities and experiences to introduce new people to the forest preserves? Environmental Sustainability. Does it ensure that our Forest Preserve lands and facilities will be available to future generations? Financial Sustainability and Partnerships. Will it generate revenue to support the ongoing maintenance and operations? Will it involve partners that contribute funding or other resources to make the project a success? How the Plan was Developed. This Plan includes projects proposed for specific locations as well as proposed district‐wide improvements. Projects were identified by District staff, partner organizations, stewardship and recreation groups. Public suggestions were also received through our website, open houses and other outreach efforts over the past several months. Projects were then evaluated and prioritized by giving consideration to the Guiding Principles set out above. For example, some projects included in last year’s update of the CIP that were scheduled to start in 2012 have now been shifted to start in 2013 pending the results of some comprehensive studies in 2012. Some new projects have also been proposed to introduce new people to the forest preserves. Budget Needs for 2012 & Beyond. The estimated total cost of all projects for 2012 is roughly $42 Million and roughly $100 Million for the next 4 years. An estimated $5.7 Million in new capital funding will be needed to proceed with 2012 projects. New funding needed in 2012 remains the same as new funding requested for 2011. Only projects with funds shown in the 2012 column on the attached charts are proposed to be funded next year. Funding for 2012 projects will come from four major sources described on the next page. DescriptionofFundingSources
FUND
DESCRIPTION
CONSTRUCTION &
DEVELOPMENT
The Construction and Development fund is established to account for
annual tax levies and certain other revenues to be used for construction of
major capital facilities. The funds must be expended over a five-year period
and any unspent proceeds at the end of the five-year period are transferred
to the Corporate Fund.
CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT
FUND
The purpose of this fund is to account for all capital expenditures of the
District that are funded by debt or other financing sources and that are not
related to land acquisitions.
GRANT FUNDS
The Forest Preserve District receives funds outside of its tax levy that are to
be used in the construction of major capital facilities. These funds are
received through grants.
OTHER
The Forest Preserve District receives funds outside of its tax levy that are to
be used in the construction of major capital facilities. These funds are
received through intergovernmental agreements, settlements from third
party environmental violations, fees resulting from the District's tree
mitigation Ordinance or other fees earmarked for capital improvements. The
funds also include remaining surplus from a 2004 bond issue that was
authorized by State Senate Bill 83 (SB83).

ProjectHighlights
This 2012 Update to the Forest Preserve District’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan includes some
changes from prior year updates. Overall spending for 2012 would be higher than 2011 due to the
late start in 2011 due to new leadership and decisions to defer some investments. Investment in
restoration of natural lands would remain as one of the largest areas of investment. New planning
studies and needs assessments would better inform future decisions on whether to invest in major
renovations of District facilities such as campgrounds, recreational improvements and support
structures. The Planning & Development Department is requesting a substantial boost in its general
consulting services budget in 2012 to conduct some necessary baseline assessments and master plans.
In the development of the 2012 Update, the District has made a more concerted effort to solicit public
input. Specifically the District has initiated a web based comment portal and a series of six expanded
community outreach events. Comments received from these efforts were reviewed and when
appropriate were included in the 2012 Update.
This 2012 Update also begins to convey some of the strategic thinking behind the District’s
recommendations. The highlights below explain why there is a change in level of investment in
certain categories of projects and a preview of preliminary plans for the next 5 years.
Planning & Assessment Projects (General Consulting Services)
Some major planning and assessment projects are proposed in 2012 that will provide a solid
information base for future investment decisions. Larger consulting projects for which funds have
been requested in 2012 include:



Camp improvement - design work – for an initial phase of improvements resulting from
current master planning effort.
A new Recreation Master Plan that will review needs for some existing recreation facilities
and explore potential new recreation improvements that are consistent with the District’s
mission.
Some suggestions for new
recreation projects, such as a possible new
zip line at Swallow Cliff, have been
included in the 5-year plan but deferred until
2013 until the Recreation Master Plan is
completed.
Engineering Services – civil engineering
services for inspection of dam & water
control structures, including study of Sauk
Lake; and structural engineering services to
inspect & design improvements to buildings;
ProjectHighlights

Building Needs Assessment – to assess all District support buildings. Many requests for
improvements to these buildings that were included in the 2011-2015 CIP have been put on
hold pending the outcome of this study.
Trails
Planning and construction of bike and equestrian trails continues to be one of the largest capital
investment areas for the Forest Preserve District. New funding needed in 2012 ($140,734) is
significantly lower than in 2011 ($2,008,979), however, because the District has been setting aside
funds from previous budgets for large federally-assisted trail projects. These federal grants typically
provide funding for 80% of the project costs for bicycle trails. Combining the previously budgeted
funds with the 2012 funds and grant funds, there is nearly $11 million dollars available for trail
construction and rebuilding.
The Bicycle Trail map included in this Plan [Figure 1] shows the existing Forest Preserve District
trail system, projects under construction and proposed trails. The proposed trails are intended to
reflect the major regional trail systems and major links to those trails. The District’s policy has been
to develop the major regional trails and encourage connections to those trails by the local
municipalities.
Proposed 2012 major trail projects include engineering of the Calumet-Sag Trail, North Branch
Bicycle Trail- Southern Extension (to City of Chicago), North Branch Bicycle Trail-Lake Cook Road
Extension (to the Greenbay Trail) and the Thorn Creek Bicycle Trail Extension, and re-routing the
multi-use trail at Forty Acre Woods. In addition, 2012 will also include investigation and follow-up
on a number of trail repair and safety improvement projects that were identified in public comments
that have been received in the past few months.
Proposed major trail projects for 2013 to 2016 include the Thorn Creek Bicycle Trail, the CalumetSag Trail, the North Branch Bicycle Trail Projects, the Orland Grassland Bicycle Trail, the Poplar
Creek Trail Connection, Tinley Creek Bicycle Trail extension, and the McGinnis Slough connector
Trail.

Habitat and Landscape Restoration
Habitat Restoration is the second biggest category of capital investment for the District after trails,
with more than $5.7 million in improvements planned for a range of restoration projects that enhance
the value or extend the useful life of the District's landscapes and natural resources.
Approximately $2.1 Million per year is needed for
the next 5 years for enhancement of ecologicallyimportant habitat. Another $1 million per year
would be used to restore lower-quality land,
including retired farm fields. Another $1,000,000
per year is needed for shoreline vegetation removal
and wetland restoration District-wide. Silviculture
practice projects would be folded into the
Restoration
Landscape
account
and
funded primarily with fees collected through
the District's Tree Mitigation Ordinance. Finally,
control of wildlife that causes damage to the
herbaceous plant community and other important habitat would continue to be a priority for the next
three years through an agreement with USDA.
In addition, to capital investment of the Forest Preserve District's funds and resources, other agencies
and partners are currently investing their own staff and funding to restore District lands. The
following agencies and/or organizations are providing agency funding or grant funding for various
restoration projects on District lands in 2012; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, OpenLands, Friends of
the Forest Preserves and the Illinois Toll Highway Authority. The total amount of funding from
various projects add up to approximately $20,000,000 and covers approximately 6,500 acres of
District lands. These projects are in various stages of completion, but will all be in progress over the
next 2 to 5 years.
Building Improvement Projects
Major new buildings originally funded in 2011 will be completed in 2012, including a new boathouse
at Busse Lake, substantial renovations of the historic pavilions at Thatcher Woods and Dan Ryan
Woods as well as the comfort station at Eggers Grove.
Major funding requests for buildings in 2012 include major rehab of the Poplar Creek Wildlife
Headquarters ($2,000,000) and a pilot program to test out a new comfort station prototype
($1,000,000). Most other building projects in last year’s update CIP that were slated to start in 2012
ProjectHighlights
have been pushed back to 2013, however, pending the results of the Campground Master Plan and
Building Needs Assessment described earlier.
Camps
Camp programs and facilities in the Forest Preserves are an
area where major capital investment is anticipated over the
next 5 years. A new system of camping facilities is viewed
as one of the most promising strategies for introducing a
broad range of new people to the forest preserves. In 2012,
the District expects to complete a master plan including
concept drawings for all of its camping activities. Design
drawings for an initial phase of improvements will also
begin in 2012. By 2013, plans for a major new “legacy
project” such as a flagship campground and conference
center should be fully developed in time for implementation
in the District’s 2014 Centennial year.
Picnic Shelters
Picnic Shelters are one of the most heavily
used seasonal facilities in the forest preserves.
Continued investment in building new shelters
in strategic locations is planned for 2012 and
beyond. In addition to investment in the
shelters themselves, the District is planning to
implement
a
pilot
program
using
environmentally-sustainable
materials
to
construct walkways to improve access to the
shelters.
ProjectHighlights
Parking Lots
Most residents drive to forest preserves to use a picnic grove, visit a nature center, fly a model
airplane or ride on a trail. Maintaining the District’s extensive system of parking lots is important in
serving the public. Building new parking lots to provide access to newly-acquired lands is also
especially costly and potentially damaging to the environment. The District typically invests $1-2
million per year on repaving a dozen or so existing parking lots and building 1 or 2 new ones.
In 2011, District engineering staff have assessed and rated hundreds of existing parking lots and rated
them using the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) scale developed by the
Transportation Information Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus. Using this rating
system, a rating of 10 represents a brand new lot and 1 represents a pavement that has failed and
should be considered for reconstruction. The most severely deteriorated lots with a rating of 3 or less
have been given priority for repaving in 2012. Moderately deteriorated lots with a rating of 4 to 5
have been slated for work in 2013-2015. [Figure 2]
District planning and engineering staff also plan to continue to refine existing policies and best
practices for construction, repaving and maintenance of paved its parking lots and paved surfaces.
Related engineering initiatives in 2012 will include revisiting of the District’s stormwater
management policy.

Building, 69 West Washington, Chicago.


In addition to these events the District held two meetings in August with stakeholders and advocates. The
attendees to these meetings were invited to participate based on their past and current involvement with the
District. This type of outreach is part of a concerted effort to promote transparency and accountability in our
operations and gather input and ideas from a broad range of constituents prior to submitting a final plan for
your approval. A draft list of proposed projects and public comment forms were available at each event
and posted on our website through the "Comment Corner" tab on our website.
