MR. BRAGG:
Good evening.
I'd like
2
to welcome you to the second neighborhood meeting
3
in our third meeting, public meeting during the
4
Weiland Road improvement project.
5
is a very important meeting for all of the
6
parties here including the village, Lake County,
7
as well as the residents who may be affected by
8
this project.
9
This evening
I would like to introduce a few
10
of our guests this evening who have joined us
11
including our village president Jeff Braiman as
12
well as our village trustees Les Oppenheimer,
13
Jeff Berman, Steve Trilling, Beverly Sussman and
14
Andy Stein who are all decorating the wall in the
15
back of the room appropriately.
16
that we're joined by Lake County Board Chairman
17
David Stolman this evening who is in attendance
18
as well.
19
In addition to
Tonight we're going to go over
20
several topics and I think many of them are going
21
to be of interest to you.
22
and the information that you gave us during the
23
April meeting, we've gone back and done a great
24
deal of work with that.
We took the results
We've reworked numbers,
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
4
1
we've taken more accounts, we've looked at more
2
statistics and tried to figure out the best way
3
to make this project work for everyone involved
4
and I hope that you'll be pleased with some of
5
the results that you'll see this evening.
6
This evening Bob Andres from
7
Civiltech as well as we talked about at the last
8
meeting we have a representative from CMAP here
9
this evening, Claire Bozic.
She will be
10
presenting the projection methodology that CMAP
11
uses, that we use to develop the traffic plan for
12
this roadway project.
13
We will make brief presentations
14
in each one of the areas.
15
question and answer after each one of those
16
sessions, as well we'll have a time for question
17
and answer at the end of the meeting if there are
18
other things that you would like to say that you
19
did not have an opportunity to tell us.
20
There will be time for
In addition, if you do not have
21
an opportunity to speak this evening or something
22
comes to mind later on, we welcome you to make,
23
provide those comments in writing or in email and
24
we'll accept those comments and include them in
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
5

the record through June 23 so two weeks from this
2
evening.
3
friend and they have a comment added, we'll
4
certainly add that to the record.
Rest assured if you have a neighbor or
5
We do have a court reporter this
6
evening.
She is located over here to your right
7
and she is recording a transcript of the meeting.
8
Bob will be making his presentation from the
9
lectern to your right and the lectern that I am
10
at is the one you will use if you have any
11
comments you'd like to make or questions you'd
12
like to ask.
13
We do have two microphones this
14
evening so this should work a little better than
15
the last meeting in April and everyone should be
16
able to hear and hopefully our court reporter
17
will be able to hear everything we have to say.
18
With that I'd like to turn the
19
meeting over to Bob Andres from Civiltech.
20
would ask that we maintain decorum and you hold
21
your questions until Bob has had a chance to
22
present his information and then you'll have an
23
opportunity to provide any comments you may have.
24
Thank you.

MR. ANDRES:
2
Thank you.
Good evening, ladies and
3
gentlemen.
I'm already starting to recognize
4
some of the faces here so that's a good thing.
5
Tonight, we have a lot to cover tonight actually.
6
I've kind of highlighted on this -- I'd like to
7
start out with the presentation of the findings
8
of additional studies that we were requested to
9
do at our previous meetings.
Those relate to
10
traffic signal warrant investigations and
11
pedestrian crossing studies.
12
take some questions at that time if you have any
13
questions on those.
14
Then I will -- I'll
If you have questions, I'd ask
15
you to kind of line up along the left side of the
16
room and when you talk to the reporter or court
17
reporter, give your names and address to help her
18
identify who are you.
19
After we talk about the signal
20
pedestrian studies I will ask Claire to come up
21
and talk about the CMAP process that has
22
occurred.
23
forecasts we have some changes in the scope of
24
proposed improvements tonight.
As a result of revisions to traffic
When I talk about

proposed improvements and recommendations, these

position on these recommendations but this is us

as their experts saying this is what we think
7
should happen.

These are

After the scope of proposed
improvements we're going to talk about an
10
alternative to the connector road.
11
of the requests we had last meeting.
12
requested at the village board update to talk
13
about the impact of trains and schools on traffic
14
operations and I haven't listed it on this agenda
15
but we'll also update the project schedule and
16
where we go from here.
17
That was one
It was also

18
investigations, at the previous meetings we were
19
requested to look at potentially traffic signals
20
at four locations along Weiland Road and Prairie
21
Road.
22
in getting in and out of side streets or crossing
23
the roadway either by vehicle or pedestrians.
24
Those four locations were Weiland at Newtown

Miramar and Brandywine Lane and Prairie.
3
Now any traffic control device
4
must conform to something called the Manual on
5
Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
6
manual that governs every sign, pavement marking,
7
signal that goes on our highways and the key word
8
in this title is uniform.
9
make sure that things look the same to drivers no
This is federal
The objective is to
10
matter where you are and that they're installed
11
under the same conditions so you know what to
12
expect when you come across a traffic control
13
device.
14
In terms of traffic signal
15
warrant investigation the MUTCD requires an
16
engineering study be done to look at traffic
17
conditions, pedestrian activity at the
18
intersection, what physical characteristics and
19
the existing traffic operation and safety
20
conditions at that intersection.
21
warrants in the manual, nine conditions under
22
which signals could be installed.
23
24
There are nine
Those warrants are the minimum
conditions that must be met to consider
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580

1
installing a signal.
Doesn't mean that you meet
2
a warrant that you have to install a signal or
3
that it is needed to be installed.
4
of the minimum condition and you have to do an
5
engineering study to see if it's appropriate to
6
put in a traffic signal at a location.
This is kind
7
Not all these warrants apply to
8
the four intersections that we're asked to look
9
at.
10
I will kind of go through them and give you
a brief explanation of how the warrants work.
11
First warrant is an 8-hour
12
volume warrant.
13
steady traffic on the major roadway and the cross
14
street for at least eight hours of the day and
15
the volumes are based on the total approach
16
traffic on both directions of the main highway
17
and then the greatest approach on the minor
18
highway and, for example, for any of these
19
locations to meet the condition A which is the
20
minimum vehicular volume warrant you need between
21
4 and 500 cars per hour for eight hours.
22
It's a warrant that requires
Weiland Road does meet that in
23
most conditions.
On the minor street you need to
24
have between 120 and 150 cars per hour for eight
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
10
1
hours.
2
you have steady traffic on the roadway the
3
warrant is higher for the major roadway
4
movements and it's lower for the minor cross
5
street.
6
There's another condition B which is if
Another warrant is the four-hour
7
volume warrants and this basically looks again at
8
the combinations of traffic on both approaches of
9
the major street versus the highest approach on
10
the minor street.
11
you need to find four hours that would plot above
12
the respective line for your intersection.
13
shows an example of Brandywine Lane which is a
14
one lane and one lane approach right now and it
15
shows that four hours, the four highest hours
16
fell below the line so that intersection did not
17
meet the four-hour volume warrant.
18
To meet the four-hour warrant
This
Another warrant is the peak hour
19
warrant where you would have enough traffic
20
during the single hour of the day.
21
have to plot above the line.
22
Brandywine Lane did not mean the peak hour
23
warrant.
24
and those are warrants to install a traffic
Again, you'd
In this case
Then there are also pedestrian warrants
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580

1
signal based on pedestrian activity.
2
There's two warrants, there's a
3
four-hour warrant and a one-hour warrant.
4
displays the four-hour warrant.
5
a minimum of at least 75 pedestrians per hour for
6
four hours which is a lot of people crossing the
7
street in order to meet the four-hour warrant.
8
To meet the one-hour warrant you need 93 people
9
in one hour.
10
This
You need to have
Brandywine Lane did not meet that
condition.
11
The results of our
12
investigations at these four locations show that
13
only Thompson Boulevard satisfied the minimum
14
conditions to consider installing a traffic
15
signal.
16
basically the lowest bar or the easiest warrant
17
to meet.
18
any other of the signal warrants.
19
It met the peak hour warrant which is
The other three locations did not meet
We also did pedestrian studies.
20
We were requested to look at two areas, one on
21
Weiland Road and one on Prairie Road.
22
between Newtown Drive and Deerfield Parkway was
23
identified as an area of elevated pedestrian
24
activity and also on Prairie Road between

The area

Miramar and Brandywine Lane near the school in
2
that area.
3
There's really four ways that we
4
can enhance the safety of pedestrians crossing
5
the roadway.
6
crosswalk, cross roadway and you may provide
7
traffic control devices that would increase the
8
safety of those crossing movements.
9
Basically you would mark a
The first is traffic signals.
10
Obviously we would provide crosswalks at traffic
11
signals with walk indications to help pedestrians
12
across the street.
13
can do in terms of crossing pedestrians at grade.
14
Another way of doing things is a relatively new
15
device that came out with a new MUTCD.
16
That's kind of the best we
It's called a pedestrian hybrid
17
beacon.
18
It could be an overhead mounted signal
19
indications.
20
and pushes a button, then you have alternately
21
flashing yellow lights.
22
fire stations, at certain fire stations in this
23
area.
24
It kind of looks like a traffic signal.
It's dark until a pedestrian comes
You may see these at
After a period of flashing

lights it goes to a steady yellow then it gives a
2
red indication.
3
the same time a walk indication would be for the
4
pedestrian, to tell the pedestrian to start
5
walking across the street.
6
interval the lights start flashing red.
7
allows vehicles to proceed if there are no
8
pedestrians in the crosswalk and then after a
9
clearance period it goes dark again.
10
That red indication starts at
After the walk

11
pedestrian safety to cross roadways is something

15
flashes for a crosswalk to warn drivers.
16
It's a lot
You're probably
The compliance with that is not
17
really high because it's flashing all the time
18
and with a rectangular rapid flashing beacon the
19
pedestrian that wants to cross the street
20
activates the device and then an LED strobe
21
starts flashing on the sign and it's an active
22
device and right now I think because it's
23
different it has a very high compliance rate.
24
The pedestrians will stop and allow them to

(847)623-7580

pedestrian safety is essentially still a standard

11
for that.

that is sometimes based on availability of

funding.

So the decision to use
When we looked at the Newtown,
17
Weiland Road between Newtown and Deerfield on a
18
weekday we got what I would call moderate to low
19
amount of pedestrian activity during those times
20
for a total of about 10 pedestrians crossing
21
during each of those peak periods.
22
Our recommendation based on that
23
level of pedestrian activity is that a crosswalk
24
be marked on at least one of the approaches
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
15
1
across Weiland Road at Newtown and we've
2
recommended -- this is the engineering
3
recommending now -- that a rectangular rapid
4
flashing beacon be installed to enhance the
5
safety of that crossing.

On Prairie Road between Miramar

basing whether or not you're going to put a

on the cars you anticipate driving down the road,

enough to cross Weiland during traffic.

You're taking your
life in your hands.
12
MS. KOPINSKY:
I mean, you have to
13
use common sense, not just counts.
14
MR. ANDRES:
Well, traffic control
15
devices are based on existing traffic.
16
look at what the future needs are for the roadway
17
that's based on the 20-year forecasts, but if
18
there's going to be a high pedestrian volume say
19
in 20 years we would not be putting a device in
20
now.
21
MS. KOPINSKY:
When we
I'm talking about
22
simply a traffic light.
23
and basing whether you're going to spend a
24
hundred million dollars on a road and not count
If you're counting cars
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
18
1
what traffic is going to be on that road whether
2
it needs a signal when you built the road, you're
3
going to tell me you're going to look at a
4
traffic signal device 20 years from now?
5
MR. ANDRES:
Let's say the
6
improvement is built next year and it doesn't
7
meet warrants today.
8
five years from now, a signal could go in.
9
not like there would be no signal for 20 years.
If a signal is warranted
10
When a signal is needed is when it would be
11
evaluated to put it in.
12
MS. KOPINSKY:
It's
I mean, you're
13
spending all this money on the road and you've
14
got the road dug up and the sidewalks dug up, why
15
not just put it in?
16
when you build the road than 20 years down the
17
road.
18
It costs less to put it in
MR. ANDRES:
That's the way those
19
regulations work.
They don't allow you to put in
20
devices that would be needed ten years from now.

THE AUDIENCE:
Then what's the point?

MS. SALVESON:
I'm Debbie Salveson
23
and I live at 337 Armstrong Drive.
24
questions based upon what you just presented were

MS. SALVESON:
6
MR. ANDRES:
7
8
9
For the traffic signal
Correct.
It was done in the last
several weeks.
MS. SALVESON:
Because I'm just
wondering if weather might be a factor as to with
10
pedestrians and bicycles and stuff.
11
MR. ANDRES:
Certainly with
12
pedestrians, bicycles does have an affect.
13
That's one of the reasons we delayed the meeting
14
is because we couldn't find good weather days to
15
do the pedestrian studies.
16
MS. SALVESON:
And then second of all
17
I think some of these traffic studies are a good
18
idea even if no expansion just for pedestrian
19
safety, for kids' safety.
20
CMAP doesn't require it, I think this village
21
should be concerned about the safety of its kids
22
and maybe that would be the reason to signal them
23
as opposed to just because some survey doesn't
24
require them.
I think even though

8
at the last meeting we talked about we weren't
9
sure what type of traffic control device would be
10
put in the new cut if, in fact, Weiland Road went
11
north Aptakisic and came out to Prairie.
12
were doing these studies were any discussions had
13
about that?
14
MR. ANDRES:
Bob,
If we
You're asking would
15
there be a signal at the connector road and the T
16
of Prairie Road?
17
MR. QUILLINAN:
18
MR. ANDRES:
Yes, sir.
We did look at that and
19
that would not warrant a traffic signal based on
20

shortly.

The connector goes from Weiland to Prairie
16
so the north leg of Prairie is connected to the
17

MS. DAVIDSON:
Okay.
I'm Nancee Davidson,
6
my address is 20518 North William and I don't
7
know if my questions are going to be for you or
8
for the person that does the forecasting.
9
I guess it was hard for me to
10
read all the numbers and I didn't make it to the
11
other meetings so I didn't know what -- in the
12
expansion of Weiland if they were looking to
13
reduce traffic on other roadways was part of the
14
consideration for the reason for expanding
15
Weiland to two lanes?
16
17
MR. ANDRES:
Could I defer your
question until Claire talks?
18
MS. DAVIDSON:
19
MR. ANDRES:
Okay.
I'd like to limit these
20
questions to just the signal warrant and
21
pedestrian studies.
22
MS. DAVIDSON:
Okay.
Was any
23
consideration given to a bike lane along Weiland
24
in anticipation of that and maybe looking at that
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580

as far as increasing pedestrian traffic i.e. bike
2
traffic along there?

MR. ANDRES:
There was.
At both

Weiland, Prairie Road and Lake-Cook Road would

have continuous bikeway on one side and

when I leave for work sometimes it takes me ten

all these road tubes, little black hoses.
That
2
was a 24-hour count over a couple of days.
3
that we then decided which warrants might be
4
close to meeting and there's an eight-hour
5
warrant, if we didn't have to count all eight
6
hours, if the tube count said there wasn't enough

traffic, we didn't spend that money.

MR. ANDRES:

MS. ROCHLIS:
Hi, I'm Sue Rochlis and
17
I represent JCYS.
We're at 1700 Weiland and we
18
have a school on the southwest corner of
19
Aptakisic and Weiland.
20
of our facility is on to Weiland Road and our
21
heaviest volume time of traffic coincides with
22
rush hour in the morning and the afternoon and
23
one of the things that we've experienced in the
24
last 11 years that we've been there it is almost
Our entrance in and out
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
25
1
impossible for families leaving the center,
2
children leaving to take a left turn to go north
3
on Weiland and I'm concerned about, you know, now
4
this making that a four-lane.
5
And I'd like to know the impact
6
of the traffic light that would be put on
7
Thompson whether that's going to help those
8
families or if that traffic is going to back up
9
to the point where the light will be timed at the
10
corner of Aptakisic and Weiland to allow people
11
to go out.
12
My second question is is it
13
possible to put up a sign do not block the
14
intersection so that that would allow families to
15
come in and out of the center given that second
16
traffic light at Thompson?
17
MR. ANDRES:
Well, the traffic light
18
at Thompson would be interconnected with the
19
light at Aptakisic so it would essentially
20
platoon traffic or kind of group traffic so it
21
has the potential to create some gaps in the flow
22
of traffic on Weiland Road.
23
to four lanes there you actually create the
24
opportunity for more gaps that are long enough
By widening the road
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
26
1
for someone to maybe make a turn outside of the
2
driveway.
3
When you have one lane and a lot
4
of traffic packed into a single lane there's
5
fewer gaps.
6
intersection on Aptakisic Road so I'm not sure
7
you're going to get a huge benefit from them.
8
9
You're pretty close to the
MS. ROCHLIS:
Is it possible to put
signage up that says do not block intersection so
10
that that would help create that gap for ingress
11
and egress?
12
MR. ANDRES:
That is possible.
13
That's something that you would take up with --
14
I'm not sure if it's the village or the county.
15
The village now has jurisdiction of the roadway
16
but I think you would do that with the county.
17
Those signs have a limited effectiveness, though.
18
I mean, it's not everyone pays attention to them.

MS. ROCHLIS:

THE AUDIENCE:
Okay.
Thank you.
My name is (inaudible)
21
I'm at 2262 Avalon Drive and from what I
22
understand that Meridian Middle School has asked
23
for a light at Miramar and they also requested a

school zone, slow school zone for the safety of
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
27
1
the children.
2
My children are not allowed to
3
walk across the street because we do not have a

say how many people will send their children if

there is a light.

their requests.

17
warrants, the minimum conditions to put a signal
18
in.
19
that would help those crossings and may generate
20
more people crossing the roadway but I think the
21
recommendation will enhance the safety

protections to cross.

down to Prairie?

I'm guessing where are we expecting
Just disappears when it gets
MR. ANDRES:
The limit of our study
17
was Route 22.
When you look at what happens at
18
Route 22 you have some pretty heavy train
19
movements.
20
Route 22 if you're going northbound.
21
less than a third of the traffic actually crosses
22
and continues north on the main street so there
23
is based on the traffic patterns there are a lot
24
of people that turn onto and off of Route 22 at
A lot of people turn east onto
WAUKEGAN, IL
I think
(847)623-7580
29
1
that location.
2
MR. LEISSER:
So are we not expecting
3
anymore traffic to go ahead and cross given the
4
easier path since we don't have to make a left
5
onto Weiland and a right turn back onto Prairie,
6
take the turns out this will be a much heavier
7
traffic route.

MR. ANDRES:
Claire will talk about
what the expectations are for the future at that

21
alternative ways we have for figuring out what

doing traffic projections I've never seen anybody

insensitive to detailed local conditions.

Rules of thumb is

It uses a lot of data and it does
The Chicago Metropolitan Agency
19
For Planning was created about five years ago by
20
combining two existing agencies, the Chicago Area
21
Transportation Study who's been doing
22
transportation planning since the fifties and the
23
Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission who did
24
land use planning.
The local leaders and state
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
32
1
leaders thought that it would be much better if
2
we did the land use planning and the
3
transportation planning under one roof so we
4
could bring transportation and land use much more
5
closely.
6
We are a policy oriented
7
organization and we have a couple of main
8
responsibilities.
9
a regional comprehensive plan, that's what
We are in charge with creating
10
responsibility was given to us in the state
11
statute when we were created.
12
also required to create a long-range
13
transportation plan with at least a 20-year
14
horizon.
15
federal investment in all the transportation
16
projects all over northeastern Illinois.
17
It has to have a 20-year
As the MPO we're
We're also charged with coordinating
18
horizon.
Comprehensive planning has to have a
19
20-year horizon and it has to be a part of a
20
public process and because some of these
21
responsibilities were given to us by the Federal
22
Government.
23
three years for certification review to make sure
24
our planning process and modeling process is up
They come in approximately every

2
So to meet our responsibilities
3
in October of 2010 we created the Go to 2040
4
Comprehensive Regional Plan.
5
area transportation long-range plan used to be
6
only transportation projects but to fill the new
7
requirements for comprehensive planning the
8
document now covers a lot more areas.
9
everything in the plan is a recommendation, not a

It's up to
11
local communities to look at the plan and follow
12
the recommendations.
13
liveable communities which look at land use,
14
housing, water, energy, parks and open space,
15
human capital which looks at education, work
16
force development, efficient government,
17
governments which is focused on state and local
18
tax policy and regional mobility.
We address the areas of
19
Regional mobility is the part of
20
the plan that is long-range transportation plan.
21
This plan has to be updated every four years and
22
the horizon always has to be twenty years so in
23
the 90s we were working with the horizon year of
24
2020 and in the 2000s we were working with the
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
34
1
horizon year or 2030 and now that we're in 2011
2
we're working with the horizon year of 2040.
3
In the regional mobility section
4
we have a special part of a listing of major
5
capital projects.
6
that we'd like to build has to be included in the
7
long-range transportation plan.
8
them listed, but it's really less than three
9
percent of the funding for that we expect to be
10
Every major capital project
We've got 18 of
available between now and 2040.
11
The rest of the money that we
12
think we'll have to invest will be available to
13
maintain, operate, and modernize the system so
14
after these 18 projects how do we keep track of
15
the other 97 percent of the funding on the
16
transportation system.
17
development of the transportation improvement
18
program which is a four-year program of projects
19
that we expect to build in northeastern Illinois.

13
and we expected that to be finished by 2040.
14
In addition Lake-Cook Road is a
So where does this lead?
Why do
15
we do all of this?
16
the policy in northeastern Illinois has to go
17
through a regional modeling process and one of
18
the main reasons we have to do that is because
19
we're an air quality non-attainment area.
20
region has a budget of pollutants that we can
21
emit from our transportation system.
22
regional model lets us estimate how much
23
pollution we will generate between now and 2040.
24
Everything that's included in
So the
The
In addition, the information
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
36
1
that we produced is used for planning studies
2
feeds back into selecting major capital projects
3
for our policy document and also it is used by
4
agencies all over northeastern Illinois for doing
5
various planning studies.
6
information that we generate also helps with the
7
facility designing through the traffic
8
forecasting process.
9
Move forward, the
Transportation demand modeling
10
really requires collecting a lot of information.
11
There are three basic inputs that we use a lot of
12
other data but these are the main categories.
13
use behavioral information taken from counsel of
14
travel surveys that we do approximately every ten
15
years to find out how individual households
16
behave, what kind of trips they make and of what
17
sort, we use socioeconomic information to know
18
how many and different types of households we
19
have so we can estimate all the trips all over
20
northeastern Illinois.
21
We
For the current year we can use
22
the census and for the future years we have other
23
models to figure out how many there will be and
24
we use roadway and transit supply information
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
37
1
because we have to know what choices people have
2
in their daily travel.
3
In terms of development

information what does this mean to Lake County

and to the area around Buffalo Grove?

MS. BOZIC:
So there is a perception
2
out there among a lot of people that the area
3
around Buffalo Grove is completely developed and
4
there's no room for additional growth, but, in
5
fact, if you look at some aerial photos you can
6
see some significant areas that will probably
7
have a lot of pressure for development between
8
now and 2040.
9
Here's some areas along
10
Lake-Cook Road that are basically empty right now
11
and can be developed.
12
there's some significant empty places that will
13
probably have households out there by 2040 or
14
maybe businesses.
15
Along Aptakisic Road
Port Clinton and Prairie there's
16
a very large undeveloped area that could be
17
developed by 2040 and probably will.
18
north around Half Day Road and Prairie this area
19
is also going to experience pressure for
20
development.
21
a scrap metal location and a nursery, that had
22
been identified as a potentially transit oriented
23
development area which is a redevelopment, it's
24
got a development of an empty space, it's a
Farther
You'll notice here this area that's
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
40
1
redevelopment and would be more dense than what
2
you're probably seeing around here right now.
3
In addition we have to keep
4
track of all the transportation that is
5
available, the transportation supply that's
6
available to people in their daily travel.
7
here looks like a map.
8
it's a computer file that includes about 45,000
9
links in northeastern Illinois.
This
It's really a network and
You'll see
10
Weiland Road up here somewhere and we keep track
11
of how many lanes, what are the speed limits,
12
what are the lane widths all over northeastern
13
Illinois as our input to our modeling and we keep
14
the kind of information for the transit service
15
which also includes costs and headways between
16
origins and destinations.
17
So what about the network around
18
Weiland Road?
Well, this goes back to the policy
19
element that I discussed first.
20
transportation improvement program includes
21
projects on Illinois 22, Weiland Road, Buffalo
22
Grove Road, et cetera, and so that means that in
23
the transportation modeling these projects are
24
also reflected in the networks.

So once we have

collected all this information we've got a four
2
step, traditional four-step modeling process.
3
won't go into great detail, but it's called a
4
for-step process because it has four steps.

The trip transportation model

travel and decides where people will likely fill

their trips.

and costs and estimates whether people would

The mode split model looks at time
So when we're finished with this
19
I have a resulting bunch of files that we can use
20
for doing traffic protections so this is what I
21
meant that traffic projections are really the end
22
of the longer process.
23
24
And the question is why do we do
traffic projections.
Well, it's important to us
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
42
1
that the regional transportation implementers are
2
working from the same assumptions as far as
3
development and transportation network supply.
4
The object of designing a
5
project and the reason that we do traffic
6
projections for 20 years in the future is we want
7
to make sure when we do projects they aren't
8
obsolete two or five years from now but have a
9
long-lasting benefit and also traffic should
10
reflect a detailed area around a proposed
11
project.
12
are good because we really like to see the impact
13
of specific development around a potential
14
project.
We don't really think rules of thumb
15
And here is a map showing where
16
we've done traffic projections since 2006, about
17
47,000 locations and we're not just working on
18
traffic projections for Buffalo Grove or specific
19
areas, we do them for municipalities, we do them
20
for IDOT, we do them for counties.
21
is doing a project that's in the transportation
22
improvement program comes to us for traffic
23
projections.
24
Everyone that
So I've heard some concerns
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
43
1
expressed that it's possible that the consultants
2
or the project implementers are telling us what
3
the traffic projections should be for a project
4
and it doesn't work that way.
5
actually the other way.
6
transportation project sponsor has to give us is
7
a description of the traffic plan improvement so
8
we can make sure it's reflected accurately in our
9
networks, information on current traffic because
The flow is
The only thing that the
10
knowing what traffic is on the ground today helps
11
us do the traffic projections and also what
12
projections are needed.
13
I know in this project it was
14
kind of a big issue that the traffic projections
15
we provided initially were for the built
16
condition.
17
In fact, the projects that we work on are
18
generally at locations where problems have
19
already been identified and there is a project
20
that's going to be designed to solve a problem
21
that's out there today and so what we need is a
22
traffic projection for the project so they can
23
design it.
24
Some people were surprised at that.
In cases where there's something
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
44
1
like a planning study where people are trying to
2
decide if they should do a project or not we can
3
do a no-build forecast and, in fact, the
4
consultants requested that we do one here because
5
there was a lot of community interest in what
6
would happen if the project wasn't built, but in
7
general 99 percent of our projections are for
8
projects as they would be built, not under
9
no-build condition.
10
So why do projections change
11
over time?
12
already mentioned is that the horizon year
13
changes and when we go through the changing
14
horizon year from 2020 to 2030 to 2040 we review
15
all of our inputs.
16
development is where we thought it would be.
17
work the forecasts for where a development will
18
be in the future.
19
changes.
20
Well, the biggest thing and what I've
We look to see if our
We
Policy assumptions are also
The development assumptions that
21
we've used in the past have been more orienting
22
to kind of a business as usual what can we
23
expect.
24
socioeconomic projections were more policy
In this case in 2040 the policy, the
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
45
1
oriented, encouraging infield development and
2
redevelopment so that didn't change the
3
development patterns around this area and the
4
5
In addition the traffic project
6
assumptions can change.
A lot of small projects
7
might change but really key are the large
8
investments, the major capital projects.
9
2030 forecast that we provided in the past did
The
10
not include the Illinois 53 extension or the
11
additional lanes on Lake-Cook Road and the reason
12
is the region wasn't on the same page about
13
whether the north extension Illinois 53 was
14
needed or whether we could afford it.
15
adoption of Go To 2040 the region has agreed it
16
is needed and we can afford it and we expect that
17
about 2040 it will be out there.
18
With the
And finally, since the Chicago
19
Metropolitan Agency for Planning is primarily
20
responsible for all the transportation modeling
21
in northeastern Illinois, we spend a lot of time
22
updating our modeling procedures and processes to
23
make sure that they're as good and as modern as
24
they can be so as time passes even our procedures
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
46
1
are different so people shouldn't really be
2
surprised when transportation projections change
3
over time.
4
Our main purpose is to give the
5
best information we can when asked and that
6
sometimes means that transportation -- that
7
travel demand forecasts look a little bit
8
different.
9
So here we have the traffic
10
projections that we've done for Weiland Road.
11
And you can see that -- well, maybe you can't
12
see.
13
north of Lake-Cook Road traffic in the no build
14
scenario and the no build is going to be the dark
15
blue here, this black color is the current
16
condition, the dark blue is the no build and the
17
blue is the built condition.
18
Road traffic in the build builds about 2,000
19
vehicles per day on most of this facility which
20
is about 10 to 20 percent compared to what we see
21
today.
22
I'm not known for my graphic arts.
But
North of Lake-Cook
Compared to the corridors
23
18 percent household and employment growth that
24
seems pretty reasonable and shouldn't be
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
47
1
surprising additional households and employment
2
will cause additional traffic over what we see
3
today.
4
North of Lake County the build
5
forecast varies from no build of about 1,000 to
6
5,000 depending on the location you're looking
7
at.
8
difference being north of Lake County.
9
some questions were asked about whether the build
That's between 6 and 29 percent, the highest
I know
10
and the no build would be the same or different.
11
And I can say after working on a lot of projects
12
it's never going to be exactly the same but how
13
much different the build and the no build is
14
really depends on where the project is and what's
15
feeding into it so if we knew that beforehand
16
what the difference would be, we wouldn't have to
17
model it.
18
what we think is the most likely feature.
19
This is the results of modeling and
Again, the major assumptions
20
that we have this traffic come to pass is that
21
Illinois 53 would be built, Illinois 120 bypass,
22
Lake-Cook Road would be expanded to six lanes,
23
Illinois 22 would have additional lanes and
24
Buffalo Grove Road would also be expanded, also
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
48
1
that development happens as suggested.
2
Now as I've said, the
3
development forecasts really is a recommendation,
4
it's not a rule.
5
it.
6
some of that depends on what the Village of
7
Buffalo Grove does as far as development.
8
interesting thing that happened with this new
9
2040 forecast, I thought it was interesting, is
Villages don't have to follow
They're in charge of their local land use so
The
10
with the addition of Illinois 53 north and
11
different policy-based development forecasts the
12
north end of the project didn't grow as much as
13
what we were showing in 2030 and that suggested
14
that maybe the consultants might look at a
15
different kind of improvement north of Aptakisic
16
Road.
17
So as we try to understand the
18
future we use transportation modeling that's
19
independent, we do it ourselves in house, we
20
develop our other data sets, we develop our own
21
processes and we provide forecasts to everybody.
22
The users observe data.
23

24
mathematical model and behavior and what we think
It's not a rule of
It's not a guess about the future using
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
49
1
we know about the future of the transportation to
2
provide what we think is the most likely future.
3
It's systematic.
It's not a
4
rule of thumb.
5
It reflects the plans and policies that the
6
region has adopted in Go to 2040 and the region's
7
transportation improvement program and it changes
8
over time as policies and assumptions change.
9
And with that I will take any

On all of your projections that you have I notice
20
you have something from 2006 on what you were
21
showing.
22
made in 2006, how far off were you based on 2011

When you use 2006 when

you make a projection whatever you had to do,

allow for all of the traffic values, everything

everything else, you knew that this was going to

happen.
11
MS. BOZIC:
Well, those are the kinds

of things like that that are a little

unpredictable.

6
THE AUDIENCE:
Hi, Claire.
Thanks
7
for coming out tonight.
You had made a comment
8
projections are usually made where a problem has
9
been identified, right?
10
MS. BOZIC:
11
THE AUDIENCE:
12
That's true.
Who identified our
problem on Weiland Road?
13
MS. BOZIC:
That would be the village
14
of Buffalo Grove or whoever is responsible for
15
the roadway.
16
don't really have an interest in whether a
17
project is built or not, we only have an interest
18
in providing the best information to support
19
whatever studies are going on.
20
We don't identify the problems.
THE AUDIENCE:
We
Claire, would you be
21
able to tell me what problem is identified by the
22
village?
23
24
MS. BOZIC:
That project has been in
the transportation improvement program since at
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
53
1
least 1994.
2
THE AUDIENCE:
Now you had mentioned
3
that Lake-Cook Road was a Cook County project,
4
correct?
5
MS. BOZIC:
6
THE WITNESS:
7
That's right.
And you think it will
be done by 2040?
8
MS. BOZIC:
That's right.
9
THE AUDIENCE:
And that volume of
10
traffic on Lake-Cook Road, was that a factor in
11
how many people are going to be north on Weiland
12
towards Aptakisic?
13
MS. BOZIC:
It's a system.
It is all
14
related, so, yes, what happens on Lake-Cook Road
15
does influence what happens on the other roads
16
around it.
17
THE AUDIENCE:
If I understand what
18
you're saying is you make this projection, you
19
build this road in the hopes that Cook County
20
will expand the road to six lanes.
21
MS. BOZIC:
22
23
24
We expect that by 2040
Lake-Cook Road will be expanded to six lanes.
THE AUDIENCE:
And you said we can
afford Route 53 to be extended?
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
54
1
MS. BOZIC:
Yes.
It's in the
2
fiscally constraining list of projects we
3
established to be able to fund that by 2040.
4
5
THE AUDIENCE:
Most of us read the
papers and we can't afford anything right now.

Thank you very much.
MS. SALVESON:
I'm Debbie Salveson.
5
I live at 337 Armstrong Drive.
I think one of
6
the most important things that you mentioned was
7
that our village is not required to follow your
8
recommendations and, therefore, although we might
9
be here to almost eat you alive, some people
10
might be, I think it's very important for us to
11
realize that it's our elected officials that will
12
determine this for us and, therefore, the elected
13
officials who are in the back need to also
14
understand just how much we don't want this to
15
happen, okay, and just not let it be pushed on to
16
this -- on to Claire Bozic.
17
the representative that was chosen to come here.
18
Unfortunately you're
And I think that's something
19
that is really, really important because from
20
everything I've heard from people really we don't
21
want the expansion of Weiland, nor do I even
22
think Buffalo Grove really needs to do it and I
23
don't know where they're going to put Lake-Cook
24
Road for six lanes but all that's in 2040 I
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
56
1
understand.
2
When you put, though, about the
3
one map that had to do with the potential
4
development areas with the circles?
5
MS. BOZIC:
Yeah.
6
I'll start at the beginning.
7
particular one?
8
9
MS. SALVESON:
I like that one.
Is there a
Right there.
If I'm
reading this correctly to me that's Didier Farms.
10
I could be wrong.
11
talked to Didier, the Didiers about it?
12
those projections are being done based upon
13
basically eminent domain which is the
14
Government's decision as to what the value of the
15
property is and then if the person or family
16
doesn't agree to that, they are basically kicked
17
out of their land.
18
My question is has anybody
MS. BOZIC:
All
Actually for this
19
development that we're talking about we're really
20
talking about market forces and policies
21
affecting development.
22
talking about throwing the Didiers out and
23
developing their property.
24
I don't think anybody is
MS. SALVESON:
You may be true about
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
57
1
the Didiers, but what about all those other
2
people in blue over here because those people did
3
not realize what eminent domain meant between the
4
last meeting and this meeting.
5
6
THE AUDIENCE:
Five houses on Weiland
MS. SALVESON:
Correct.
Road.
7
They did not
8
understand what that would mean.
So I think
9
that's very important to understand that even
10
though it may not affect the Didiers for awhile,
11
may not affect the scrap place, it does affect
12
individual people here right now, okay, and I
13
think what's also important is the fact that we
14
are going to be known as more of a pass-through
15
village than anything else because all these
16
projections that you're giving are not for
17
Buffalo Grove, they are not increased number of
18
employment workplaces or housing developments.
19
Yes, these are all potentials,
20
but what you're talking about obviously is all of
21
Lake County.
22
place those places are not in Buffalo Grove.
23
We're only serving the purpose of getting through
24
our village onto these other places and yet we
And obviously the majority of that
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
58
1
are incurring the costs of them.
2
meetings it was about that this projected cost
3
for this one alone would be $100 million and we
4
the taxpayers would have to be paid $20 million.
5
Now that's a projected cost.
6
probably going to cost twice as much and that's
7
only one of the two projects.
8
9
MR. ANDRES:
There's a lot of people.
One of the last
Obviously it's
We have a lot to cover.
There will be an
10
opportunity at the end to make like closing
11
statements, things like you're covering right
12
now.
13
Please limit this to Claire's presentation.
MS. SALVESON:
I think basically the
14
one thing that you did point out that we need to
15
all remember is it's our elected officials we
16
have to follow through with because they're the
17
ones that control our purse strings.
18
MS. DAVIDSON:
Nancee Davidson,
19
again, at 20518 North William.
20
along with what the person before me said in that
21
that I never thought that Buffalo Grove would
22
want to be a pass-through community.
23
they put a lot of tax dollars and a lot of
24
development into making a whole town center along
I just want to go
WAUKEGAN, IL
I think
(847)623-7580
59
1
Route 83 and have given tax breaks to those
2
people going into those markets and if we end up
3
developing Weiland people won't go past on 83 and
4
possibly stop at those places around Town Center
5
which may be a consideration for the Buffalo
6
Grove people and their taxes.
7
go backwards.
8
9
Now I'm going to
I guess part of what I was
looking at, too, was I know that the modeling
10
forecasts are based on assumptions as far as the
11
fact that Route 53 was going to be built and
12
Route 22 was going to be built.
13
expansions as we all know have been in the works
14
for many years and have been sidelined for a lot
15
of years so making sure that they go through I
16
think is going to be more based on whether or not
17
the economy is able to stabilize and increase and
18
give these development some potential for the
19
county to go ahead with these.
20
where that all stands right now and I don't know
21
if anybody does.
22
Now those
I don't know
The other thing is -- sorry, I
23
have to look through my notes here.
24
you jump up to 2040 which if you're doing 20
WAUKEGAN, IL
Oh, why did
(847)623-7580
60
1
years in a horizon you went to 30?
2
MS. BOZIC:
The reason I would do
3
that is because if you go something short of 2040
4
say we choose 2021, that means that we have to --
5
6
7
MS. DAVIDSON:
Why not 2030 which
would be 20 years basically from 2010?
MS. BOZIC:
We're in 2011 and by
8
federal regulations we have to have really a
9
20-year horizon so we have to go past 2030.
We
10
don't want to be in a situation of extending our
11
horizon year every year or every other year so we
12
go to 2040 and that's good for us then for the
13
next 20 years.
14
It gives us some stability.
MS. DAVIDSON:
I understand what
15
you're saying.
16
49 percent not doing the math in my head which
17
seems like a lot which also increases your
18
ability to project or incorrectly project.
19
mean, I think the accuracy of any projection
20
would be reduced by jumping another 49 percent.
21
I don't know if that was taken into consideration
22
when you decided on the 2040 model.
23
be something that you would need to discuss.
24
You also jumped up another
I
That would
The other thing that I would --
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
61
1
since the modeling -- since the headways and
2
those sorts of things that you input for your
3
projections are based on speeds, has the village
4
of Buffalo Grove thought about reducing the speed
5
on Weiland and what impact that would have on
6
your projections because people would be less
7
likely to take that route and so I think that
8
might be a consideration if you reduce Weiland.
9
I have been here a number of
10
years and I do not believe that Weiland really
11
has had a reduction in speed over the time that
12
I've been here and at that time there were quite
13
a few more undeveloped properties in the area
14
than there are now and a lot less congestion so
15
that might be something that would be considered
16
versus doing a whole big project would be
17
reducing speed on that.
18
I know that you have done that
19
on Lake County.
Further up it's been reduced in
20
a couple areas and that has -- I'm sure that that
21
impacts not only projections but also traffic
22
volumes.
23
And you did -- what you're
24
giving us is based on projections that you
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
62
1
developed based on the economic conditions
2
currently or based on what was in Lake County two
3
or three years ago?
4
MS. BOZIC:
Currently.
5
MS. DAVIDSON:
Currently.
And that's
6
based on what Lake County has given you as far as
7
information, correct?

MS. BOZIC:
does provide input.
Lake County certainly
They are represented on our
policy committee.
11
MS. DAVIDSON:
Right, and they gave
12
you the development projections or you developed
13
your own?
14
MS. BOZIC:
We developed those
15
independently but the region has adopted our
16
development forecasts for 2040.

MS. BOZIC:

MS. DAVIDSON:

When was that forecast
Ours?
No, theirs, Lake

MS. BOZIC:

provide us with the forecast.
24
independently.
We do that
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
63
1
MS. DAVIDSON:
So the development
2
that you took into affect was what is currently
3
in the region and what is basically in the
4
planning for the next 30 years?
5
MS. BOZIC:
That's right, with the
6
focus on in-fill and redevelopment, additional
7
support for transit service and the project on

and we have limited time.

MS. DAVIDSON:
I'd like to maybe
Well, since you didn't
17
let us do anything I had to write things down as
18
she was doing her presentation.
19
thing that I would like to go back over is what
20
would be the hope of this redevelopment and if
21
you expanded Weiland are you looking to take
22
traffic off of any other roads or was that part
23
of what you were looking at or was it something
24
you weren't looking at?
I guess another

1
2
MS. BOZIC:
That was not a purpose of
the project.
3
MS. DAVIDSON:
Okay.
So this is to
4
expand a road to expand a road, not to reduce the
5
traffic possibly on Milwaukee or 83.

No, that wasn't the
purpose of what we were doing.

accuracy of your 1991 assumptions and estimates?

MS. BOZIC:

MR. LEE:
1991.
Yes, because by your

estimates, how accurate was that?

what were the ones in 1991 twenty years out, how
18
accurate do they turn out to be in 2011?
19
20
21
MS. BOZIC:
I can't answer that right
now.
MR. LEE:
Okay.
What assumptions
22
were made on economic factors like outsourcing,
23
foreclosure, rising gasoline prices?
24
MS. BOZIC:
We assume by 2040 the
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
68
1
economic downturn that we see now we assume that
2
it's a short term phenomenon and by 2040 we're
3
going to be recovered and we'll be operating
4
normally.
5
MR. LEE:
Did you -- what were the
6
known considerations for train frequency impact
7
because the prior gentlemen noted that train
8
crossing is a major source of pedestrians?
9
MS. BOZIC:
We consider a train
10
crossing really an operational problem.
11
provide daily forecasts we don't believe having a
12
railroad cross can affect a daily number.
13
does affect congestion in an intermittent way but
14
that's a place where more refined study by the
15
engineers is required.
16
MR. LEE:
Since we
It
What vehicle size
17
assumptions did you make because as the costs of
18
fuel and transportation and congestion goes up
19
the cars are becoming shorter and narrower is
20
highly likely.
21
22
Did you factor any of that in?
MS. BOZIC:
No, we consider a
standard vehicle.
23
MR. LEE:
What assumptions did you
24
make on passengers per vehicle?
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
69
1
MS. BOZIC:
We do assume the number
2
of passengers per vehicle based or not household
3
traffic survey what people are doing right now.
4
MR. LEE:
5
MS. BOZIC:
What was that number?
It differs by the purpose
6
of the trip, If you're going shopping versus if
7
you're going to school versus if you're going to
8
work.
9
10
MR. LEE:
Which mode or trip purpose
is the highest frequency?
11
MS. BOZIC:
Highest frequently of
12
shared trips is not working.
The highest
13
frequency is going to be non-work where family
14
members go together.
15
MR. LEE:
When you consider the Lake
16
County expanding to six lanes did you consider
17
the fact that it might actually reduce the
18
corridor traffic because in my experience in four
19
years plus of living here in Buffalo Grove I see
20
the Lake-Cook Road is predominantly an east/west
21
traffic problem and that probably is -- the lack
22
of it being six lakes is more likely than
23
increase corridor traffic once it becomes six
24
lanes.
I see it drastically reducing the demand
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
70
1
for Weiland.
2
MS. BOZIC:
We do take that into
3
consideration because in the current year we look
4
at the regional transportation and it does not
5
have Lake-Cook Road as six lanes and in the
6
future year we look at what's going on with
7
people's transportation and it does reflect that
8
project and we can see what the difference is
9
between now and the future.
10
MR. LEE:
It also looked like you've
11
seen I think the increased traffic through the
12
corridor so is building it actually going to
13
increase demand for traffic on the corridor?
14
MS. BOZIC:
15
MR. LEE:
16
To some extent, yes.
So if you build it they
will come?
17
MS. BOZIC:
18
MS. BRIM:
Certainly.
Hi, Gayle Brim, 2248
19
Avalon Drive, Buffalo Grove.
20
is you mentioned earlier several other projects
21
that are on the plan and that these were assumed
22
or expected to be completed before this project.
23
Is that to say then that this project will not
24
begin until these are completed or if these other
My first question
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
71
1
projects do not happen then this project will not
2
happen?
3
MS. BOZIC:
That is to assume that
4
they will all exist by 2040.
5
consideration in the traffic projection of one
6
happening before the other.
7
where they're all there.
8
9
MS. BRIM:
There is no
It's a situation
I would suggest that that
be considered that if 53 and 22 and all these
10
other projects that we discussed if they don't
11
exist assuming that there's no reason to do this
12
first because they're dependent on this
13
information.
14
someone asked about the purpose was to expand it
15
to eventually other traffic and the answer was no
16
and so I guess the following question might be
17
can you explain what the purpose was for a study?
18
The second question is earlier
There is a question we see a lot
19
of negative impact on homes and a lot of
20
potential walls and other things so what is the
21
purpose or the goal of expanding Weiland?
22
Cook to 22 dead ends at 22 so it seems it's going
23
to have to go somewhere so a pass-through for
24
potential areas of Lake County and some doesn't
WAUKEGAN, IL
Lake
(847)623-7580
72
1
necessarily see the benefit within Buffalo Grove.
2
Can you explain to us what is the goal of trying
3
to expand this road for the community?
4
MS. BOZIC:
Well, I understand that
5
there are some portions of Weiland Road that
6
today are carrying probably more traffic than can
7
be safely and efficiently being accommodated by a
8
two-lane roadway.
9
here talk about the traffic and getting out onto
I've heard a lot of people
10
the road so I guess there is traffic out there
11
and so maybe really right now only that one part
12
is carrying more traffic but if we're looking at
13
a project, we can't just look at that one part.
14
You can't just look at it today.
15
You have to design a project
16
that solves whatever problems you identify today
17
but then the solution doesn't become obsolete in
18
the next five years or cause additional problems.
19
The end points, the logical term then has to
20
include enough of a project that you're not
21
causing more problems.
22
MS. BRIM:
I will ask one more
23
question.
Planning out for the future not only
24
the problems of today yet I heard you won't
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
73
1
consider traffic lights and other things for
2
traffic among other things where people would
3
like to walk across the street but they can't
4
because of the traffic and the speeds and at the
5
same time I also heard there was not a congestion
6
issue such that they don't warrant thing to
7
occur.
8
congestion yet there's not congestion so it
9
sounds like there's information that maybe
So the road is to be built for potential
10
conflicts and if they are going to consider
11
future expansion for the road, the road expansion
12
based on future anticipation then I'd suggest
13
they consider lights and other things for future
14
expansion or consider revisiting a need for these
15
things then let's not do the project.

WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
74
1
question.
You said -- would you believe these
2
statistics, 90 percent of all trips are taken by
3
a single driver with no one else in the car?
4
MS. BOZIC:
5
MR. WEISER:
I believe in that.
Would you believe these
6
statistics, 98 percent of all commutes have only
7
one driver or one passenger?
8
MS. BOZIC:
9
MR. WEISER:
(No response.)
You mentioned that you
10
guys are considering a standard car, that's what
11
you said to Steve.
12
including different shaped cars in your studies?
13
In other words --
14
What is the possibility of
MS. BOZIC:
I think that you could
15
probably look at some different kinds of cars but
16
I don't know that you can really predict what
17
kind of cars people are going to be driving in
18
the future.
19
many people will be driving and so I don't think
20
that's something that really we would address
21
until we have evidence to show that that's really
22
happening and it's going to be significant.
23
24
They will be driving and we know how
MR. WEISER:
question.
And let me ask one more
Have you ever heard of the narrow car
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
75

named the Tango or the Lumineous Mera (phonetic)
2
that have been built and being driven now in the
3
United States and France?
4
MS. BOZIC:
5
MR. WEISER:
No.
And do you think that
6
would be a good thing to include in studies in
7
the future about capacity of traffic?
8
9
10
MS. BOZIC:
I think that if they
become common and used, widely used then, yes, we
would have to include that.
11
MR. WEISER:
Okay, one last question.
12
As we see that gas prices are going up would you
13
agree that cars are getting smaller and smaller
14
and people are choosing to drive smaller and
15
smaller cars?
16
MS. BOZIC:
I can't speak to the
17
marketing of automobiles in the automobile
18
industry.
19
and people have bought cars but I also see that
20
there's still a lot of SUVs on the road and a lot
21
of large cars.
22
whole fleet of cars to turn over to another
23
vehicle type.

MS. PETERS:
Hi, my name is Ellen
6
Peters, I'm at 571 Cobblestone Lane.
I live --
7
my yard backs up to Weiland and I am south of
8
Newtown and right directly across from Hope and I
9
noticed on the roadways and we haven't really
10
addressed this yet but I just want to bring this
11
up, I don't see any left-turn lanes and that was
12
a big concern at the last meeting.
13
And -- but the other reason I'm
14
up here is about property values.
15
concerned from what I understand that the
16
sidewalk that's against my fence will be -- will
17
stay there but then all of the easement will be
18
removed except for about four feet which means I
19
will have cars this close to my backyard.
20
I'm very
I have very little easement

there right now as it is.

23
tell you that about a month ago my neighbor sold
24
their house for about $50,000 more than I paid
I don't know if that's
WAUKEGAN, IL

for mine 21 years ago.
Why do you think that

might be?
3
estimate is that everyone who backs up to Weiland
4
their property values will go down about at least
5
10, maybe $20 thousand.

have to pay someone to buy my house so I find it

In

that everyone is saying we don't need including

rude to go down this road this way and at this

time.

You know, the projections of all
15
of the -- indicate that the school Stevenson

school populations from where I hear are going

down.

to people who are a lot more versed and a lot
22
smarter than I am.

People are not able to

I listened a lot in the last few meetings
We're quoting these statistics
and nobody argued with them so I'm assuming this
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
78
1
is the reality.
So why are we doing this now?
2
Now, when people can't afford their own property
3
taxes, when people are losing their jobs left and

something that no one wants to do.

MR. COHEN:
Hi, my name is Arnie
14
Cohen, 2241 Avalon Court South.
15
specific questions for you, Claire.
16
assume your model uses existing traffic as an
17
input; is that correct?
I have a few
First is I
18
MS. BOZIC:
Yes.
19
MR. COHEN:
Who provides that?
20
MS. BOZIC:
The consultant does

23
24
I
provide that.
MR. COHEN:
In this case the
consultant is?
MS. BOZIC:
Civiltech.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
81
1
MR. COHEN:
Am I correct in assuming
2
that Civiltech would do the construction
3
administration for this project?
4
5
MS. BOZIC:
I don't know how the
contracting for this project would take place.
6
MR. COHEN:
Okay.
7
MS. BOZIC:
I'm only doing traffic
MR. COHEN:
Okay.
8
projections.
9
So if Civiltech
10
was to do the construction administration for
11
this project then they stand to gain for doing
12
this project.
13
there a conflict of interest in that?
14
So I'm just kind of questioning is
MS. BOZIC:
I can't address that, but
15
what I can say is if you look out on IDOT has a
16
website where they have traffic counts all over
17
northeastern Illinois called Getting Around
18
Illinois.
19
IDOT keeps they're quite similar to what the
20
consultants have provided us.
21
If you look at traffic counts that
MR. COHEN:
Can you tell me -- and
22
this gets similar to a previous question but I
23
guess a little more straightforward -- does CMAP
24
ever compare forecasts to actuals, forecasts
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
82
1
data, have you ever come back in ten years,
2
twenty years in regards to the actuals?
3
MS. BOZIC:
4
opportunity to do that.
5
MR. ANDRES:
We haven't had the
This is something I deal
6
with that I've been doing this for 30 some years
7
and I am interested in those things, how good are
8
the forecasts and I've gone back and looked at
9
it, what the forecast was in 20 years later, I
10
look at what the traffic is.
11
forecasts underestimate what the traffic demand
12
is going to be in the collar counties, the
13
suburban area.
14
Quite often the
A specific project in this area
15
is Lake-Cook Road.
Cook County in 1990 or '91
16
wanted to widen Lake-Cook Road to six lanes.
17
village opposed it at that time.
18
Phase One study and they got 2010 forecasts for
19
Lake-Cook Road through Buffalo Grove assuming it
20
would be a six-lane road.
21
six lanes but the four-lane traffic on Lake-Cook
22
Road is within 10 percent of the forecast so the
23
forecasts aren't as widely off as some people may
24
think they are.
The
They had done a
It was never built at
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
83
1
When they are wrong -- I don't
2
know if they're ever exactly what they forecast
3
but when they're wrong it's quite often they
4
underestimate what the traffic is based on my
5
experience.
6
MS. BOZIC:
There's another way of
7
looking at this question and one is looking at
8
what we call validation of the transportation
9
modeling which we do undertake on a regular basis
10
which is comparing how the model performs for a
11
current year versus what kind of traffic we have
12
on the ground and part of the development of the
13
model is insuring that when the model is applied
14
what comes out of the model really does reflect
15
what's going on on the ground.
16
And there are some standards for
17
that based on classes of facilities, mostly
18
volume classes and we have to make sure that the
19
modeling that we do does compare favorably with
20
what's in the ground.
21
that is of interest when the federal government
22
comes and looks at our modeling process and does
23
our certification review.
24
satisfied with how we're doing our modeling then
That's one of the things
If they're not
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
84
1
they're going to tell us to do something
2
different.
3
MR. COHEN:
Okay.
I guess still my
4
concern is you advertise yourself as being
5
independent and I don't mean to imply anything
6
inproprietary (sic) or anything else but I'm
7
concerned when a company that stands to gain from
8
this is constantly saying the estimates are
9
relatively low.
If you're going to be
10
independent, CMAP would be interested in doing
11
the forecast to actual data.
12
13
One more question.
The data you
provide, who reviews that data?
14
MS. BOZIC:
Who reviews the data?
15
MR. COHEN:
Yeah, who scrutinizes
MS. BOZIC:
The village would
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
it?
scrutinize it, my boss would scrutinize it.
MR. COHEN:
Has anybody from the
village contacted CMAP to your knowledge?
MS. BOZIC:
We've met with the
village to discuss the traffic projections.
MR. COHEN:
Have they questioned it?
Have they scrutinized it?
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
85
1
MS. BOZIC:
Sure.
They've asked for
2
explanations why it looks like it does, why does
3
it look different from what we were looking at
4
before.
5
MR. COHEN:
6
MR. ANDRES:
Okay.
Thank you.
I'd like to officially
7
cut off the line for this part of the
8
presentation so if you have questions, if more
9
people want to question let's wait until the end
10
because we still have a lot to cover tonight and
11
I'd like to be able to get that information out
12
to you.
13
Thank you.
MS. HEIDMAN:
Mara Heidman,
14
212 Stanton Drive, Buffalo Grove Road.
15
road that I'm off of is Thompson and Weiland.
16
You recall saying that Buffalo Grove is not fully
17
developed but what I notice is like one tenth of
18
a neighborhood goes up and then it stops
19
developing for instance at the corner of Buffalo
20
Grove Road and Deerfield or the houses have taken
21
a long time to develop and property values are
22
going down and they're not just going to go down
23
just backing up behind Weiland, they're going
24
down on Buffalo Grove and across the country.
WAUKEGAN, IL
The main
(847)623-7580
86
1
Even if you started one house in
2
Didier or any of these yellow circles, nothing is
3
going to go up any time soon, anytime.
4
this economic down turn is everywhere and I think
5
we all need to be very cognizant that when
6
property value goes down in one part of the
7
neighborhood it affects the entire neighborhood.
8
Even though my house does not back up to Weiland
9
it affects the entire neighborhood.
I mean,
10
And then the other thing I
11
wanted to bring up was, that the other man
12
brought was when is the Buffalo Grove project
13
being looked at?
14
Grove being -- you know, because Milwaukee is a
15
great north-south road and you were talking about
16
Buffalo Grove is going to be widened because that
17
will impact that.
18
You were talking about Buffalo
MS. BOZIC:
That is in the
19
transportation improvement program and we do
20
assume that by 2040 that will be in place and
21
when they ask us for traffic projections for that
22
project --
23
24
MS. HEIDMAN:
Why did that one not be
prioritized for us because it's not a bridge to
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580

nowhere.
It truly goes all the way up to

and would get traffic out.

MS. BOZIC:

It goes much further
It's truly more of a

That's the responsibility of the
MR. ANDRES:
I would like to say that
Lake County is just starting a study of Buffalo
10
Grove Road.
11
they're just collecting data, doing a survey of
12
information.
13
have a public meeting so pay attention to the
14
county website and probably the village website
15
and they will let you know.
16
They're not to the point yet,
They're not at the point yet to
MS. HEIDMAN:
I would bet the people
17
who are making this decision to know that a road
18
that goes all the way north should take priority
19
over something that goes a little bit.
20
MR. LEFAR:
Steve LeFar, 2038 Jordan
21
Terrace.
This is a quick question about not the
22
accuracy of estimates over 20 years but the
23
accuracy of estimates over eight months.
24
from the village website have seen it prior, the
WAUKEGAN, IL
We have
(847)623-7580
88
1
2008, 2030, 2040 estimates.
2
understand how in a matter of six or eight months
3
the 2040 original estimates are so vastly
4
different enough to change the configuration and
5
recommendation of the road and how is the village
6
or Civiltech supposed to make a decision on
7
numbers that are all over the place in just the
8
six- or eight-month period.
9
MS. BOZIC:
We were trying to
Actually we did have some
10
in-depth discussions with the village and the
11
consultants about this and looking at the traffic
12
projections and there were a couple of things
13
that happened between then and now.
14
One was we identified that there
15
were some problems with what we had included in
16
our $45,000 links for the posted speed limits.
17
We made that correction.
18
on Lake-Cook Road had not been included because
19
that was the county project.
20
be done by 2040 but hasn't been submitted yet.
21
We did include that.
22
In addition, the lanes
That we expected to
There were also some concerns
23
that what we call the traffic analysis zone
24
system which is probably too technical to talk
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
89
1
about right now was not fine grades enough to
2
represent the real detailed patterns of
3
development in trip making around Buffalo Grove
4
so we went back and we did do a much more fine
5
grained modeling of the traffic assignment that
6
we did before and took a whole new look at what
7
we had and I believe that these projections that
8
we have are better than what we provided
9
initially.
10
MR. LEFAR:
That projection was for
11
the entire stretch all the way from where the
12
Walmart area is?
13
14
MS. BOZIC:
Right.
Yeah, it was a
rework of the whole thing.
15
MR. LEFAR:
Thank you.
16
MR. KOPINSKY:
Mervyn Kopinsky,
17
881 Horatio Boulevard.
I'm going to make two
18
points and then I have a question.
19
is you undertake a project like this you only
20
hope to see some benefit for the community and
21
I'm not sure I've heard anything that benefits
22
the community.
23
people to somewhere into the village with getting
24
taxes, any kind of revenue.
First point
Weiland Road isn't a road taking
It is a road that
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
90
1
goes through.
2
no problem right now.
3
point of view it makes any sense to move on this.
4
From everything I've heard there's
And I'm not sure from that
The next point is far more
5
important.
6
projections every day, that's my job and there
7
was a comment earlier that there's been much more
8
growth in the suburbs over the last 20 years or
9
the projections that were made 20 years ago came
10
11
I'm an actuarial.
I work a lot with
out to be too low.
Now the reality is in this
12
country we have an aging population.
13
people that are getting older and not being
14
replaced by younger people.
15
year olds running to Buffalo Grove to buy houses
16
nor to the surrounding suburbs so I would
17
seriously question any projection about growth in
18
the suburbs where over the next 20 to 30 years
19
we know there is going to be a tremendous change
20
in the demographic profile of our entire country
21
and Chicago to the same extent.
22
We have
I don't see 60 to 80
Last question I have is when
23
you're making projections there are things you
24
know and things you don't know.
What would you
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
91
1
2
assume gas price to be in 2030 and 2040?
MS. BOZIC:
The thing about gas
3
prices is really the important thing that the
4
impact that they have on people's families is how
5
much of people's personal budgets the gas prices
6
take and over the course of 30 years as gas
7
prices continue to rise a couple of things we
8
expect to happen.
9
be developed and higher efficiency automobiles so
One, is alternative fuels will
10
they don't use as much gas and, in addition,
11
people's budgets will become adapted to the new
12
price of transportation because we don't believe
13
that people are going to need to stop going
14
someplace but figure out more efficient ways to
15
do it by vehicle technology and our budgets
16
getting used to the new conditions.
17
MR. KOPINSKY:
This is a final point.
18
I believe there will be far fewer people in the
19
suburbs needing to get somewhere.
20
going to be 30 years a lot older.
21
22
23
24
MR. ANDRES:
Everybody is
Thank you, Claire.
That
took a little longer than I thought it would.
Claire talked about the changes
that have happened over the course of the last
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
92
1
several months in terms of the forecasting and
2
that has affected the design of the project.
3
like to just kind of go back and remind people as
4
far as what the intent of the village and the
5
County is and pursuing an improvement of this
6
roadway.
7
I'd
They are looking to use federal
8
highway dollars to be able to improve this
9
roadway.
These are dollars that you are paying
10
right now at the gas pump.
11
think per gallon tax and the village and county
12
are looking to use moneys that are available
13
through that program to be able to provide a
14
long-term improvement of traffic safety and
15
operation in this corridor along Weiland Road,
16
Prairie Road and Lake-Cook Road.
17
There's a 17 cent I

18

forecasts that Claire has provided.

The village can't decide to do this
WAUKEGAN, IL
Because the
(847)623-7580
93
1
forecasts have changed now the plan has changed
2
somewhat and I'd like to get into that in a
3
minute as far as what those changes are.
4
The project has to meet state
5
standards for design and operation of the
6
roadway.
7
widths and slopes and banking of pavements and
8

13
those.
14
We also have to mitigate the
We have to consider
In the case of this project
15
highway noise is the biggest impact that occurs
16
from this project and there's been some changes
17
in the mitigation that would occur because the
18
forecasts have changed.
19
some of the revisions to the scope of the
20
improvement that have come up as a result of the
21
reduced 2040 forecasts compared to the 2030
22
forecasts that the original design was based on.
23
24
I'd like to go through
As was mentioned earlier the
improvement needs to come from really two things.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
94
1
They come from the existing needs.
I think
2
everyone can agree there's an improvement along
3
Lake-Cook Road.
4
a need for improvement along Weiland Road but
5
there's operational problems that drive part of
6
the reason why we need to improve this roadway we
7
also have to look into the future.
8
look at what we think those needs will be over
9
this twenty year planning horizon and plan for
Not everyone agrees that there's
We have to
10
future traffic and future growth in the design of
11
our project.
12
That's different than the
13
traffic control devices that I talked about
14
earlier.
15
existing needs.
16
years or five years the recommendations can
17
change and new things can be added to a project.
Traffic control devices are based on
18
If those needs change in three
In simplified terms the big
19
question is, you know, why does it have to be
20
two-lane, four-lane.
21
the threshold between a two-lane and four-lane
22
road is based on something called the designed
23
hourly volume.
24
are going to be in your design for the critical
The design standards for
That's how many cars you think
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
95
1
hours.
That's a number that's hard for the
2
public to grasp.
3
We translated that into an
4
average daily traffic volume which is a little
5
more understandable, but in simplified terms when
6
you're around 15,000 cars that's the threshold
7
between how a two-lane road will work
8
satisfactorily compared to needing a four-lane
9
road.
So if the existing or future forecasts
10
exceed that threshold of about 15,000 cars per
11
day then the design standards that we have to
12
meet to use federal funds require that we do a
13
four-lane roadway.
14
a two-lane roadway would suffice over the design
15
of the improvement.
16
If it's less than 15,000 then
I'd like to go through some
17
segments of the project and look at how the needs
18
have changed based on our new forecasts.
19
first segment is Lake-Cook Road to Deerfield
20
Parkway, it's the southerly part of the Weiland
21
Road corridor.
22
this area is already above the four-lane
23
threshold.
24
provided numbers if we didn't do anything, those
The
The existing travel demand in
The 2040 no build numbers, Claire has
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
96
1
numbers are also above the four-lane threshold.
2
So the engineers meaning us say
3
that a four-lane roadway is needed.
4
village and the county is going to do this
5
project with federal funds they would have to
6
build a four-lane road in this segment.
7
If the
The Weiland Road, Deerfield
8
Parkway intersection right now the intersection
9
works at an acceptable level of service.
Based
10
on the forecasts it will still operate at an
11
acceptable level of service.
12
lower at this intersection than the 2030
13
forecasts so based on those needs the existing
14
intersection can operate satisfactorily over the
15
designed life of the improvement, therefore, no
16
improvement is needed at this intersection.
17
The segment of Weiland Road
The forecasts are
18
between Deerfield Parkway and Aptakisic Road.
19
The existing traffic demand is below that
20
four-lane, two-lane threshold.
21
is at the threshold about 15,000 cars per day so
22
a four-lane roadway is needed between Deerfield
23
Parkway and Aptakisic Road.
24
The 2040 no build
The Weiland Road, Aptakisic Road
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
97

intersection right now in the p.m. peak hour
2
operates at a unacceptable level of service.
3
It's below the standard today.
4
traffic growth predicted on both Weiland Road and
5
Aptakisic Road so there is a need over the next
6
20 years to provide a capacity of improvement at
7
the Weiland Road and Aptakisic intersection.

existing daily traffic right now is below this

threshold.
20
other words Claire did the special forecasts, if
21
Weiland Road was not improved it's right at the

is needed in this segment of the project because

The

it has problems particularly in the p.m. peak

7
at the average daily traffic volume it's in the
8
low 19 to 20,000 cars per day but it's unusual in
9
that it's a highly directional roadway.
Aptakisic Road is a roadway when you look
A
10
typical arterial highway might have, you know, a

it's still below the four-lane threshold so the
15
recommendation is that this can be a two-lane
16
roadway, does not need to be widened to four
17
lanes as was required under the 2030 forecast so
18
this is a kind of a big change to the north end

What about at Weiland

MR. ANDRES:
You'll have a chance for
questions later.
So in terms of the revisions of
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
101
1
to the scope approved based on those needs we've
2
made some changes to the plan depicted on the big
3
exhibit that you see on the left-hand side of the
4
room here.
5
Weiland Road between Lake-Cook and Aptakisic this
6
is the section where four lanes are recommended.
To go segment by segment again on
7
We've gotten comments about
8
experienced bicyclists want to be able to ride on
9
the roadway.
They don't like riding on a shared
10
use path.
I would call them casual users of the
11
path, they feel it's safer for them to drive on
12
the roadway so what we've recommended is that
13
they change the cross-section of the four-lane
14
section of Weiland Road, we keep the pavement
15
width the same.
16
without impacting adjacent properties so we want
17
to keep the outside edges of the pavement the
18
same.
You can't widen the roadway
19
We're going to narrow the median
20
in the center, narrow the inside travel lane and
21
widen the curb lane and that would provide a
22
four-foot area for experienced bicyclists to ride
23
on the pavement to improve safety for them.
24
We'll still retain the eight-foot shared use path
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
102
1
that would exist along the roadway and the
2
sidewalk on the other roadway.
3
In the first plan that you saw
4
back in December there was a suggestion of
5
acquiring five feet of land behind highway noise
6
walls.
7
so the segment of the roadway between Lake-Cook
8
Road and Aptakisic the roadway would stay the
9
same but the median would narrow to get a wider
10
That had been eliminated from this plan
curb lane.
11
The Weiland/Deerfield Road
12
intersection we recommend an omission or a gap in
13
the improvement at that intersection because that
14
based on the new forecasts it will operate
15
satisfactorily over the life of the improvement.
16
Weiland Road/Thompson Boulevard
17
intersection in this first segment of this we
18
talked about meeting the peak hour traffic signal
19
warrant.
20
but we recommend that that intersection as part
21
of this improvement be signalized to improve
22
traffic flow to and from Thompson Boulevard.
23
24
This needs to be approved by the county
Now in the segment between
Aptakisic Road and Route 22, the Weiland Prairie
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
103
1
with the connector roadway originally it was a
2
four-lane proposal and the revised roadway cross
3
section it would be two lanes, still have a
4
barrier median, a single traffic lane in each
5
direction, curb and gutter along the roadway.
6
you're familiar with some of the two-lane
7
roadways in Buffalo Grove there's a shoulder as
8
opposed to curb and gutter.
9
the sidewalk and the shared use path there's not
If
In this case with
10
enough room to provide shoulders and a swale so
11
this segment of roadway would get curb and gutter
12
put along it.
13
as this is today but instead of a shoulder it
14
would have curb and gutter.
15
It would remain basically the same
THE AUDIENCE:
So lose the lane and
16
space on the shoulder improvement?
17
talking the extension?
18
MR. ANDRES:
Are you
I'm talking about the
19
connector road and Prairie Road would be this, I
20
call it a three lane center median with a single
21
lane in each direction.
22
we're recommending in the plan is the
23
configuration of the detention basins.
24
look at the top picture it shows the original
Another change that
WAUKEGAN, IL
When you
(847)623-7580
104
1
site that we had proposed for a new detention
2
basin would be on the nursery property north of
3
the connector roadway.
4
After looking at that a little
5
more closely we felt it would be maybe better for
6
Mirielle Park to have a drive out retention basin
7
essentially south of the parkway between the
8
connector roadway and the park.
9
some recreational use of that detention basin
10
when it's not full of water but it would also
11
require another site on the south side of the
12
connector roadway.
13
this, another portion of the detention basin east
14
of that lane and south of the connector roadway
15
so that's another change in the design that we've
16
recommended.
17
There may be
And if I can make sure to do
Now, highway noise walls.
I've
18
talked in the past about the noise impacts and
19
the process for determining whether a noise wall
20
whether it's needed, whether it's feasible and
21
where it's reasonable and I've also talked about
22
the fact that these regulations are going to
23
change, that IDOT is going to come out with a new
24
regulation on about July 1 so we're a couple of
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
105
1
weeks away so the noise analysis could change.
2
We don't know.
3
what's going to happen.
4
about now is based on the old way of doing noise
5
impact analyses.
6
They're very tight lipped about
What I'm going to talk
The lower traffic forecasts
7
basically translate into reduced highway noise
8
level along the corridor and there's a reduced
9
need for noise mitigation as a result of the
10
improvement.
11
there's areas that noise walls be can eliminated
12
compared to what we had for the 2030 forecasts.
13
Basically all of Weiland Road, Prairie Road and
14
the connector road north of Deerfield Parkway up
15
to Route 22, all noise walls would be eliminated.
16
They no longer would be warranted based on these
17
lower traffic forecasts.
18
about half a mile of noise walls along the
19
corridor.

Because of the lower traffic
That would eliminate
South of Deerfield Parkway the

14
the connector roadway is it's kind of the curved

portion of Weiland that extends from Weiland and

Aptakisic Road and curves to the west and
17
connects into Prairie Road south of Olive Hill
18

Now, a

The benefits that the connector
2
road would do from a traffic operational
3
standpoint is it removes north/south trips from a
4
segment of Aptakisic Road between Weiland and
5
Prairie.
6
north/south in the corridor you come up to
7
Aptakisic Road you have to turn westbound onto
8
Aptakisic from Weiland and continue north on
9
Prairie.
Right now if you want to travel
10
With the connector roadway it
11
eliminates that double linking on north/south
12
trips onto an east/west portion of the roadway.
13
The benefit of that is that through movement at a
14
signalized intersection are safer and more
15
efficient than left and right turning movements
16
and that gives some significant benefits to
17
traffic flow in this area.

And it would improve the intersection
Now, we've done a number of
8
analyses and we do capacity analyses and look at
9
things that mostly traffic engineers understand.
10
For this meeting tonight we've used another tool
11
that's available which is a simulation of how
12
traffic would flow and basically we've used
13
simulation software that actually -- we build the
14
network, we design the roadways, we give the
15
right distances between intersections, we add the
16
number of lanes that exist today and actually
17
input the existing signal timings that Lake
18
County uses at the two intersections, at
19
Weiland/Aptakisic and Prairie/Aptakisic and the
20
coordination data they use we put in and
21
calibrate the traffic flow based on our
22
observations of how those intersections work
23
today.
24
We use a program called
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
109

Sim Traffic that animates this and provides a
2
display of what it looks like today and what it

would look like in the future.

traffic to the model travel lanes, see the
5
benefit of providing a dual left-turn lane,
6
additional travel lane and give a visual location
7
of what those benefits would be.

We then add
We've actually modeled the a.m.
and p.m. peak periods for really four scenarios.
10
The first one is existing conditions, that's kind
11
of the base that we calibrate and make sure that
12
our model is accurately portraying the existing
13
behavior of traffic on the network.
14
modeled the 2040 build traffic without the
15
connector roadway, this alternative that I've
16
talked about, we've modeled 2040 build traffic
17
with the connector roadway and then we've done a
18
fourth model with we've looked at non-connector
19
roadway but with a widened Aptakisic Road and
20
I'll get into an explanation of that.

What I'd like to do is show you
22
some simulations where in the interest of time
23
we've picked one of the peak hours, the a.m. peak
24
hour and I would ask Brian to take control of the
WAUKEGAN, IL

3
The first simulation is the
4
existing operation starting out with the
5
intersection of Weiland Road and Aptakisic in
6
the a.m. peak hour and this area there's a heavy
7
northbound to eastbound right-turn movement that
8
I'm sure you're all familiar with in the morning
9
and there's also very heavy eastbound traffic on
10
Aptakisic Road.
This -- the signal times that
11

MR. ANDRES:

Aptakisic but this projection for 2040 is showing
15
almost the same amount of cars turning westbound.
16
Where are they going?
17
Why has it changed?
MR. ANDRES:
Well, I mean, this
18
basically takes the existing traffic patterns
19
for the 2040 forecast.
20
turning percentages, that today's turning

If you look now it's
I think it is the same

of traffic flow on this segment of the roadway is
8
so great that it overwhelms the ability to
9
coordinate those signals.
It's similar to what
10
happens on Lake-Cook Road.
11
great coordination at 10 o'clock at night.
12
drive there and you make the signals.
13
coordination exists at 4:30 in the afternoon but
14
there's so many cars it overwhelms the ability of
15
the system to progress cars through.
16
like they're not coordinated but it's the same
17
coordination that you would have during other
18
hours of the day.

In other words because of the increase in traffic

This is just exacerbating an
MR. ANDRES:
Well, the fact that you
14
are double linking, that you are taking traffic
15
from north/south traffic and you're putting on
16
this segment of the roadway, that clogs the
17
section of Aptakisic Road between Prairie Road
18
and Weiland Road so what you're seeing is that
19
with two lanes with the existing cross-section
20
even though we've improved the intersection,
21
we've added dual right-turn lanes and dual
22
left-turn lanes which allows those heavy
23
movements to be serviced with less green time
24
because you've got twice as many lanes, it's
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580

still results in pretty significant traffic

congestion on Aptakisic Road.

THE AUDIENCE:
Then why do it?
4
MR. ANDRES:
5
the connector road would look like.
6
connector road takes a bunch of traffic off this
7
segment of the roadway and it crosses and

connects up with Prairie Road.

it's an improved intersection at Weiland and

MR. ANDRES:
Let's pan out, Brian.
Now this is the same traffic
except instead of having traffic using Aptakisic

(847)623-7580
121
1
Road between Weiland and Prairie it routes
2
traffic up the connector roadway.
3
traffic on this segment of Prairie Road is mostly
4
trips, you know, right and left turns between
5
north and west Lake.
6
THE AUDIENCE:
How come there's so
7
many less cars on Aptakisic?
8
from the north.

MR. ANDRES:
The only
They weren't coming
There's less cars where,
down here?
11
THE AUDIENCE:
It looks like there's
12
less cars now westbound on Aptakisic than there

were before the connector road but the cars are
14
coming from further west than Prairie.

MR. ANDRES:

20
There should be fewer
Based on the
So when you look at Aptakisic
21
Road under the connector road option the traffic
22
backups are significantly less than they were
23
under the no connector road option that you just
24
saw.
The overall efficiency of traffic flow in
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
122
1
this area is improved by again removing left and
2
right turns by these intersections and replacing
3
them with through movement.
4
Now there's very little green
5
time devoted to Prairie Road because of the
6
connector roadway so the backups that you saw to
7
the west here have been limited and you see much
8
better traffic flow on Aptakisic Road.
9
Now in order to provide the same
10
level of traffic without the connector roadway we
11
have another option and that would improve
12
Aptakisic Road to be able to handle the volume of
13
traffic that would exist on this segment without
14

16
you like to add turn lanes first and through
17

This next option shows an
19
improvement that has essentially three lanes in
20
each direction on Aptakisic Road.

22
And why don't you pan out,
Brian.

24
THE AUDIENCE:
Are you having a noise
wall?
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
123
1
MR. ANDRES:
This would need a noise
2
wall in this area and a portion of this area so
3
there is noise walls that would be required
4
because of this roadway widening that would occur
5
without the connector roadway.
6
Now, if you look at the
7
operation on Aptakisic Road it's similar or maybe
8
a little bit better than the connector road

alternative but it's dramatically better than the
10
four-lane no connector road option.

assumptions are which I'm not sure what they were

but they are reflected in these 2040 forecasts.

MR. ANDRES:
When we design a roadway

we try to design for the worst hour of the day
16
and then they feel confident that the other hours
17
of the day will work as good or better than the

22
I'm not sure how much --
THE AUDIENCE:
During that morning
23
hour and because we are a school we're very much
24
aware of it.
There is a school bus facility
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
130
1
right near that train tracks and all of those
2
buses are distributed during that peak hour.
3
They are going all over the community and so we
4
have to allow for that to happen along with all
5
of those bus stops to happen.
6
And I will tell you I'm watching
7
all of that traffic coming through my entrance
8
and exit to the JCYS I cannot see how cars are

going to go out when you've got four lanes and
10
you're telling me that you're going to now narrow

Correct.
But there's
21
a few things missing.
We've already established
22
there's trains missing and the homes that are

7
lurching onto Prairie and you're not showing any
8
of that on that map.
9
MR. ANDRES:
And what we're trying to
10
show is the difference between traffic operation
11
along Aptakisic Road with the connector roadway
12
and without a connector roadway.
13
showing anything to the north not because we
14
don't want to show it but because our objective

We're not cutting off questions, we just want to

get to our presentation.
20
You will get a chance.
THE AUDIENCE:
Where are all the cars

turns right.

If you look at the real
MR. ANDRES:
The turn percentages in
6
these simulations are unchanged from existing
7
without the connector roadway.
8
without the connector roadway if there's
9
15 percent of the westbound traffic turning north
In other words
10
onto Prairie today there's 15 percent turning
11
onto Prairie in the 2040 plan without the
12
connector roadway.
13
With the connector roadway we've
14
reassigned that.
The turns go down very low.
15
People on Aptakisic northbound would probably not
16
turn westbound on Aptakisic and then turn north,
17
they'd take the connector roadway.
18
turning percentages are very different, but
19
without it they're the same percentages.
20
traffic volume is higher.
21
THE AUDIENCE:
So those
The
I'm talking the past

It's the same turn percentage as
Okay, let's move on.
I'd like
control back up here, Brian.
So what we're trying to do is
show what this roadway would be without the
10
connector roadway, what the improvement needs
11
would be on Aptakisic Road if we did not have a
12
connector roadway and then what it would be with

the connector roadway.

an exhibit of the connector roadway improvement.

As I said -- let me get my mouse here -- it's a

two-lane roadway up in this area.
17
four lanes at the intersection to provide, to
18
minimize the amount of green time that Weiland
19
Road needs and give as much green time as we can
20
to Aptakisic Road.

Just to review, this is
It is still

That's level of service D.

Again, for the connector roadway
11
at Prairie and Aptakisic the Aptakisic levels of
12
service are higher, that's because we're actually
13
taking traffic away from this intersection and
14
putting it at the Weiland Road intersection.
15
Those would operate at service A and B until
16
the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.

2
displaces two homes and one business to get the
3
segment just north of Aptakisic Road.
4
requires permanent acquisition from 16 properties
5
and requires about 6.8 acres of land to build the
6
connector roadway option.
7
It
The no connector roadway option
8
has no displacement people or businesses.
It
9
does affect 24 individual property owners and
10
requires quite a bit less acquisition, about 2.2
11
acres to build that option.
12
The six-lane no connector
13
roadway, the one that provides equivalent traffic
14
service has the connector roadway option, has no
15
displacement, there's 38 parcels that would be
16
affected by acquisition and about four acres.
17
From a noise wall standpoint not
18
having a connector roadway with the traffic that
19
we have and the fact that the roadway would be
20
widened we would need noise walls along the south
21
side of Aptakisic Road especially between Prairie
22
and Weiland and also a short segment on the west
23
side of Weiland Road south of Aptakisic Road.
24
There would be a total of about 2,350 feet of
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580

noise walls that would be eight feet high.
2
The conclusions that we as the
3
engineers draw is that the no connector roadway
4
alternative fails to provide acceptable
5
intersection levels of service.

these federal standards that we would have to
7
meet in order to use their money.

14
of service D and impacts fewer properties than

the no connector roadway with six lane

alternatives.
The connector road alternative provides
17
Our recommendations to the
18
village and county is that the connector roadway
19
alternative is the better choice from a traffic
20
standpoint.
21
providing a long-range improvement to traffic
22
safety and operation in this area we recommend
23
the connector roadway alternative.

That is based on the quantity

call an exposure.
An exposure is just the

product of two numbers, it's the number of trains
There's -- I guess
We always need to quantify
There is a threshold to think about a
10

11
If that exposure is over a million then you might
12
consider a grade separation.
13
that, then there's -- you know, the federal

government says we're not going to consider a

There would
10
times to try to shift traffic to other hours of

the day to make the traffic flow on Weiland Road

less intense during the peak hours so our opinion
13
is that the schools and trains do impact traffic

to this project that would make it better by

changing those things.

(847)623-7580
148
1
have a noise wall adjacent to their property,
2
they will be able to give us their opinion about

the noise wall and we would look at each of the

noise walls along this roadway and from this

decision for residents whether they want noise

14
it's the county as well.

THE AUDIENCE:

MR. ANDRES:

Thank you.
That would occur after

The public hearing is when

For the public hearing you
After the public hearing and the

And that is the dependent upon review times on

14
often their review times can take longer than we

think they should or have taken in the past so
16
these could slip so if the public hearing doesn't
17
happen in November, if it happens in December, it
18
won't be near Christmas, I can guarantee that.
19
It may happen in January, that's because we
20
haven't gotten the reviews back that we need to

get.

There's always fine print on things.

20
very first thing that you showed us of simulated
21
traffic?
22
two minutes.
23
existing traffic.
24
Can we go to that first, the
My question is going to be longer than
A couple things.
The very first,
I don't know how much money has
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
152
1
been spent on this already but I would urge that
2
before any money be spent that the peak hour,
3
quote-unquote, be adjusted to what actually peak
4
traffic is, that includes the trains in the
5
morning and the trains in the evening because I
6
know when my husband leaves for work and I know
7
when I leave and there's a six o'clock in the
8
morning train that operations, there's a 6:30 and
9
there's a 5:35 train, a 6:35 train and those
10
weren't included in any of your peak hours and
11
then, yes, is there traffic on Weiland Road,
12
there is, but if you look it all is turning
13
right and it's turning right -- there were only
14
like one to two cars for every one so they're
15
all lining up and making a right, but look,
16
there's no train blocking them.
17
is is that we need to see it simulated with the
18
traffic.
19
MR. BRAGG:
20
MS. HEIDMAN:
So my question
Can we -It would just help
21
because it's almost like it was like -- I don't
22
think you purposefully left it off but it would
23
help and so none of those cars are going left
24
which means none of them need that connector
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
153
1
which means none of them need that left-hand turn
2
and so, yes, do cars need to go north and left,
3
yes, but it looks like 80 percent of them are
4
going north and right.
5
MR. ANDRES:
Brian, can you show
6
the p.m. peak hour?
7
different travel pattern but we could simulate
8
trains.
9
6:30 in the morning there are trains, there's
10
It's a different peak hour,
That would be more work.
You know, at
congestion that occurs from the train.
11
THE AUDIENCE:
I believe that the
12
perception and reality is what you're dealing
13
with.
14
support the peak time.
15
the time right before and right after when you
16
get stuck behind a train it seems crazy, it seems
17
awful.
Reality is that they have numbers to
What your perception is
18
MS. HEIDMAN:
19
THE AUDIENCE:
20
21
And then -It doesn't last as
long during the peak traffic -THE AUDIENCE:
You said 17 percent of
22
that morning time.
I'm sorry, when there's a
23
train 17 percent of that peak traffic time in the
24
morning was cut by a train.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
154
1
2
MR. ANDRES:
That's at Illinois
Route 22.
3
MS. HEIDMAN:
Okay, right.
However,
4
there's no train supposedly in our peak travel
5
times but there are obviously trains in our peak
6
travel times so if 17 percent of the time are ten
7
minutes of our travel time is cut off for every
8
hour, you know, it would just be helpful to see a
9
train.
10
MR. BRAGG:
We'll put that in the
11
record and look at options to try to simulate the
12
train.

20

21
We won't be a quite tree-lined
I have a couple of questions
22
that I'd like to address to the board before they
23
make their decision and I'd also like to know if
24
we don't do the connector roadway and we have a
WAUKEGAN, IL

2
happens to Aptakisic east of the train tracks?
3
4
MR. ANDRES:
The six lanes carries
through the railroad tracks then carries down.
5
MS. KOPINSKY:
You're obviously
6
admitting that the traffic lanes causes
7
congestion.
8
9
MR. ANDRES:
You just can't drop a
lane that quickly on a roadway.
You need to have
10
enough distance past the intersection for someone
11
to want to use that additional lane to use the
12
intersection.
13
it then people aren't willing to get out of the
14
lane and use that, only the aggressive drivers.
15
This design was not based on trains, it was based
16
on standards to be able to drop the lane past a
17
signalized intersection.
18
If the lane drops too quickly past
MS. KOPINSKY:
The problem is the
19
trains but we've discussed that.
20
things I want to address are to the village board
21
things that I hope they will consider when they

make your decision.

11
This project is going to cost a

MR. BRAGG:
There has never been an
18
amount published for what the cost of
19
construction will be.

THE AUDIENCE:
21
MR. BRAGG:
22
23
24
I can't
That is not true.
That will not be done --
excuse me, I'm speaking.
Thank you.
That will you calculated once we
have a concept in place, but I've heard the
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
157
1
number $100 million, $200 million, $400 million.
2
I don't know where that came from but that's not
3
any stance of the village whatsoever.
4
MS. KOPINSKY:
All right.
So my
5
question that exists.
When I look at my
6
household budget, I look at what I'm going to be
7
spending my money on and see if I have enough
8
money to make the project doable.
9
creating the project with no way to pay for it.
You're
10
Let's find out where the money is coming from
11
first and then start out on the scope of the
12
project.
13
MR. BRAGG:
Thank you.
14
MR. O'CONNOR:
My name is Kevin
15
O'Connor, 2240 Avalon Drive.
16
is to Bob.
17
money has Civiltech billed over the years on this
18
particular project?
19
sense, that's great, or if you can just tell me
20
what you billed out for this year on this
21
particular project, that would be very helpful.
22
23
24
My first question
I'd like to ask you, Bob, how much
If you can give me a general
MR. ANDRES:
I'd have to refer that
to -MR. O'CONNOR:
A general round number
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
158
1
would be fine.
2
MS. YOUNG:
3
MR. O'CONNOR:
4
MR. ANDRES:
I'm one of the owners of
Civiltech.
7
8
Bob, do you get a
bonus at Civiltech?
5
6
A guess, 400 thousand.
MR. O'CONNOR:
Well, I've leave that
question then aside.
9
I would like to address those in
10
the back of the room, Jeff, Mr. Trilling, some of
11
the others that are here.
12
them right now.
13
I don't see a lot of
There's Andy, Beverly.
This is a toxic project in my
14
opinion.
This is the third meeting I've been to.
15
I haven't heard yet a single reason why this is a
16
good project.
17
where we're going to come up with the money for
18
it and I feel that what I'm trying to express is
19
my frustration here as a taxpayer.
20
heard is mumbo-jumbo, consulting mumbo-jumbo and
21
slides and charts yet we've got people that drive
22
these roads every day and at rush hour I expect
23
to be delayed for a few minutes 90 seconds, a
24
minute and a half, two minutes and when I hear
He haven't heard a good reason
All I've
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
159
1
that the CMAP data is so wildly off after eight
2
months because a couple of switches that you
3
threw in the data, I say shame on you.
4
Why don't we wait another six
5
months and see where the data takes us then.
6
think that's the most ridiculous bunch of bunk.
7
I
And, finally, as it relates to
8
CMAP I think everybody knows Elliot Hartstein our
9
former village president is also a executive
10
member of CMAP.
11
connect?
Now, how do those two dots
I really don't know.
12
But I think the project right
13
now is going to cost a lot of money.
14
to cost green space, it's going to cost time,
15
it's going to cost incredible upheaval in this
16
town and I for one did not move to Buffalo Grove
17
because of that.
18
because it was a great place to live.
19
It's going
I moved to Buffalo Grove
I think that this project is
20
likely a gravy train at Civiltech, Bob, and I
21
like you as a person and I respect the fact that
22
you've got to stand up here in front of this
23
tough crowd and explain it, but you're going to
24
make this project as big as you possibly can for
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
160
1
your good.
2
elected officials have to look at that and
3
calculate their future in this village as elected
4
officials and say is it worth putting my
5
reputation, your reputation on the line to stand
6
up and say you know what, this really is the best
7
interests of the village of Buffalo Grove.
8
9
And at the end of all of this our
I personally think it's the
biggest crock and the biggest waste of 400
10
thousand bucks I have ever seen and if this
11
village board wants to spend week after week
12
talking about a trampoline pit or fence heights
13
we better stop and get everybody together and
14
talk about this thing at a village board and in a
15
public form and spend not an hour or not a day
16
but spend a lot of time talking about this.
17
And I only want to add one
18
thing.
Bob, do not come in here and tell me that
19
I cannot clap for my taxpayers, my fellow
20
taxpayers that I sit with and I work with and I
21
live with and if we want to clap our hands, I
22
think we ought to do it.
23
my comment.
And that's the end of
24
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
161
1
(Whereupon the audience was
2
clapping.)
3
MR. BRAGG:
I will reiterate please
4
refrain from clapping and maintain decorum and
5
limit your comments to two minutes.
6
MS. FOSS:
Thank you.
I'm Marge Foss.
I live at
7
2254 Carlyle Court in Buffalo Grove.
In
8
relationship to discussions related to overall
9
project costs, in the last three months my
10
neighbors and I have collected a large number of
11
numbers from both Civiltech, the village, the
12
county and there are three numbers that did
13
appear in these documents.
14
signed document that I will share with the group
15
just to I think try and have you understand where
16
we have come up with $100 million.
17
Official issued
In 1998 the project as
18
originally designed and presented to us in
19
December was projected to cost $26 million.
20
2005 the project as presented to us in
21
December was projected to cost $54,000 -- million
22
dollars, excuse me.
23
designed and presented to us in December was
24
projected to cost $65 million.
In
In 2009 the project as
WAUKEGAN, IL

We all have contacts in industry
2
and in the specific industry here.
3
close family members who are architects and major
4
construction -- in major construction,
5
engineering, roads, bridges, et cetera and just
6
based on cost and materials it should if these
7
numbers had any validity in '98, 2005, 2009 it
8
should approach a hundred million dollars.
9
just simple arithmetic really.
10
I have two
It's
So just to add some credibility
11
to where those numbers came from now as
12
redesigned and presented tonight and options that
13
may be presented to the village board I have no
14
idea what the ultimate cost projections might be,
15
but I don't think saying a hundred million
16
dollars is wildly off track.
17
A couple specific questions
18
based on what we've seen and heard tonight.
19
There was, Bob, you mentioned
20
some financial submissions have been made related
21
to portions of this project.
22
the end of your comments you had mentioned that.
23
I don't know exactly which agency or
24
municipality, who made those submissions or who
I didn't really --
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
163
1
they might be you had said something.
2
MR. ANDRES:
Through many years the
3
village has applied for federal funding for
4
improvements on arterial streets within the
5
village and they have applied for Weiland Road,
6
they've applied for Deerfield Road, they've
7
applied for Buffalo Grove Road.
8
9
MS. FOSS:
You said it was
specifically for this project, though.
10
MR. ANDRES:
Correct.
They were
11
successful in getting money for Deerfield
12
Parkway, you know, and that was a joint project
13
that was built by the village and Lake County.
14
They've applied for STP fund, the surface
15
transportation federal funds in the Lake County
16
Counsel of Mayors.
17
number of years.
18
19
MS. FOSS:
MR. ANDRES:
24
Not for the whole
project.
22
23
For this specific project
have any submissions been made?
20
21
They've done that for a
MS. FOSS:
For any portion of
project?
MR. ANDRES:
For any portion of the
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
164
1
project the village has applied for STP funds and
2
for CMAQ funds.
3
air quality funds.
These are congestion mitigation

MS. FOSS:
If the need to widen
10
Prairie to four lanes with a median has been
11
obviated by new data, why is there a need to
12
insert a median into Prairie Road?
13
want to expose taxpayers to the need to pay for
14
that?
Why would we
Why would we put a median in?
15
MR. BRAGG:
Well, the design for
16
Prairie and Weiland Road we contemplated in this
17
concept is made to mirror our other corridors
18
such as Buffalo Grove Road, Deerfield Parkway
19
where we have medians in place now.
20
MS. FOSS:
21
economy was different.
22
is really an aesthetic?
23
24
MR. BRAGG:
one purpose.
That was nice when the
So we anticipate that it
Well, it serves more than
It may be aesthetic.
It may be to
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
165
1
allow safe pedestrian crossing in those corridors
2
as well.
3
MS. FOSS:
As the design expert, Bob,
4
why is the median being recommended for that
5
section of Prairie where it will not be widened?
6
MR. ANDRES:
The median provides as
7
Dane said a number of benefits.
There's an
8
aesthetic benefit, there's a safety benefit.
9
number of people have commented about fear of
A
10
cars running off the road with no curbs out
11
there.
12
questions was to try to improve the roadway to
13
reduce the likelihood of cars leaving the roads.
14
The median does that.
15
It provides for orderly flow of traffic.
16
provides an area where the roadway can be
17
beautified and can replace green space where it
18
doesn't exist today.
19
The school district that was one of their
It's a safety improvement.
Right now it's a big wide
20
pavement with shoulders.
21
median there would be less pavement there.
22
It also
MS. FOSS:
With the landscape
So for those of us who
23
think that might be a bit of a boondoggle we'll
24
just have to make those comments known.
WAUKEGAN, IL

MR. BRAGG:
2
MS. FOSS:
Sure.
Could you please describe
3
the eminent domain process?
4
neighbors that are here tonight are at risk of
5
losing their homes or significant portions of
6
their property.
7
that process will look like when it happens?
8
9
I think some of the
Could you please describe what
MR. ANDRES:
Well, eminent domain is
the taking of private property for the public
10
good.
In other words that's a law that exists
11
throughout the United States that allows the
12
government to acquire private property for the
13
public good.
14
to how that would occur to ensure that a private
15
property owner is treated fairly and is
16
compensated for any losses that would occur as a
17
result of that.
There's a very specific process as
18
The process happens in a couple
19
of steps.
It starts with a survey of the
20
property, there's a plat of survey prepared for
21
the taking.
22
example if we needed to acquire seven feet along
23
the frontage of your property there would be a
24
plat prepared.
If it's a partial taking say for
There would be an appraisal done.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
167
1
The village or county would hire
2
a professional real estate appraiser to appraise
3
the value of that taking and also appraise the
4
damages to the remainder of that property.
5
you lost seven feet off the front of your
6
property the rest of the property may be
7
diminished as well.
8
9
If
The appraiser would meet with
the property owner, would understand what
10
improvements are on the property.
11
septic system for example that's not apparent
12
from above, the homeowner would inform the
13
appraiser that that would affect the septic
14
system, things of that nature, so this
15
professional real estate appraiser would estimate
16
the fair market value of the property, of the
17
taking including the damages.
18
to a review appraiser, a second opinion to say he
19
agrees or disagrees with the value of that
20
property.
21
If there was a
That would then go
Then a negotiator is hired that
22
would contact the property owner and would
23
negotiate the price with that property owner.
24
would show them the fair market value.
WAUKEGAN, IL
He
By law
(847)623-7580

the acquiring agency has to offer the fair market

value.
3
can't say I will give you 5,000, will you take

it.
5
property.
6
of the process is to acquire property through
7
agreement, to not bowl someone over by the
8
government and take their property.
If the fair market value is $10,000 he
He has to offer the fair market value of the
9
A negotiation takes place and the goal
And so through that negotiation
10
the price may change of the taking and hopefully
11
there is an agreement on the price of that
12
taking.
13
If there's a displacement, there
14
are some homes and businesses that would be
15
acquired in their entirety.
16
call relocation assistance where they would get
17
professional assistance as to finding replacement
18
housing.
19
expenses during the relocation to cover
20
relocation expenses.
21
that this intrusion on someone's personal life is
22
compensated fairly.
23
24
There's also what we
There's payments to cover their living
There's -- the law requires
If there is no agreement,
sometimes there is no agreement then it would go
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
169
1
to combination proceedings where the acquiring
2
body would file a suit to acquire the property
3
forcibly.
4
acquiring it.
5
they could take the property sooner than later
6
and negotiate the price -- not negotiate --
7
8
What happens depending on who's
IDOT has quick take powers where
MS. FOSS:
But this is not an IDOT
project.
9
MR. ANDRES:
This is not an IDOT so
10
there is no quick take so it would go through a
11
court proceeding and the judge would rule on what
12
the fair market value is but the village has the
13
power to acquire private property for public
14
uses.
15
MS. FOSS:
The funding for
16
acquisition of private property for public uses
17
is going to be paid -- who pays for that?
18
MR. ANDRES:
That's part of the
19
project cost.
20
estimate that we prepare.
21
22
23
24
That would be part of the cost
MS. FOSS:
So the gas tax pays for
that?
MR. ANDRES:
It could come -- there's
a number of sources of money.
That could happen.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
170
1
The village could use motor fuel tax funds to pay
2
for part of this.
3
for a large part of it.
4
The federal government pays
MS. FOSS:
Lake County.
Lake County is now paying
5
for part of the property.
6
meetings Lake County was not funding any portion
7
of that.
8
9
MR. ANDRES:
Phase One engineering.
In all previous
They're not funding the
I think you have a copy
10
of the 1993 or '95 intergovernmental agreement
11
that specifies.
12
13
MS. FOSS:
That specified Buffalo
Grove pays for everything.
14
MR. ANDRES:
No, it doesn't.
15
THE AUDIENCE:
Pretty much.
16
THE AUDIENCE:
A big part of it.
17
MR. ANDRES:
That agreement needs to
18
be revisited.
19
that would be part of this if this project goes
20
forward.
21
There's been some changes in that
THE AUDIENCE:
I think that agreement
22
says operating agreement pays 80 percent of the
23
project.
24
MR. ANDRES:
That's not the way I
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
171
1
remember it.
2
MR. BRAGG:
The point Bob is trying
3
to make is once we have a project.
4
a project right now, we're planning a project.
5
Once we have a project and we develop the sources
6
and uses of funds and there may be six or eight
7
difference sources of funds some of those might
8
be federal highway, state, total revenue credits,
9
they could be Lake County dollars, Buffalo Grove
We don't have
10
dollars so how the funds are allocated out for
11
the acquisition there's no way for us to say
12
that.
13
of funding is we don't know where it will be
14
used.
We don't know.
15
MS. FOSS:
Until we know what the mix
My last question and I
16
apologize to everyone for taking more than two
17
minutes.
18
two minutes' of questioning.
19
this project?
20
state project or a Lake County project?
21
in charge?
This is more important to me than just
Who is in charge of
Is this a Buffalo Grove project, a
22
MR. BRAGG:
23
asked that question of us before.
24
MS. FOSS:
Who is
Well, I think you've
Right, but --
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
172
1
MR. BRAGG:
The village of Buffalo
2
Grove is the lead agency but we're in partnership
3
with Lake County and Cook County on the project
4
so ultimately all three entities will be involved
5
in the development of the project.
6
7
MS. FOSS:
to Route 22 who is in charge?
8
9
From Lake-Cook Road north
MR. BRAGG:
Well, for a portion of
that Cook County would be in charge because
10
Lake-Cook Road is not on the county line.
11
the county line north the village and Lake County
12
would work together on this project.
13
MS. FOSS:
14
MR. BRAGG:
From
Who is in charge?
What do you mean by in
15
charge?
I don't know how to answer your
16
question.
17
guess maybe I'm in charge or -- I don't know how
18
to answer the question.
19
Who's in charge -- am I in charge?
MS. FOSS:
I
Who is ultimately -- which
20
agency, which municipality, which body of elected
21
officials is going to make the decision on what
22
portions of the project are chosen, what priority
23
is assigned, who's going to be making those
24
decisions?
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
173
1
MR. BRAGG:
Well, that depends on the
2
outcome of the project.
Let's say that the
3
village board decides for instance that they
4
don't want to go forward with the whole project
5
but they only want to go forward with components
6
of it.
7
that point we would take that to Lake County.
8
The Lake County may choose to accept this or not.
9
If they choose not to accept that then the
They may approve a partial project.
At
10
village of Buffalo Grove is on its own because we
11
can't tap into those other funding sources, but
12
if the village board approved a plan that Lake
13
County accepts, then they ultimately will have
14
authority over the road and jurisdiction over the
15
road.
16
17
MS. FOSS:
Right, because Buffalo
Grove will assign it to them.
18
MR. BRAGG:
Right, as was
19
contemplated in the earlier agreement, right.
20
It's hard to say who'll be in charge because it
21
depends on the outcome of the project.
22
know who will maintain the roadway when it's
23
done.
24
MS. FOSS:
We don't
That wasn't part of the
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
174
1
question I was contemplating.
2
who is going to be making the decision on the
3
project?
4
MR. BRAGG:
The question was
The village board will
5
make a decision then the Lake County Board will
6
make a decision and we hope that the two are
7
congruent.
That would be the ideal.
8
MS. FOSS:
9
MR. BRAGG:
10
Thank you.
Thank you.
MS. BETHMAN:
Nora Bethman, Horatio

12
because there's people standing in line.
13
talk a lot about the northern section where you
14
have to appropriate people's property or portions
15
thereof.

to only be in Horatio Gardens which is not part
17
of Buffalo Grove.

I was curious, you can't really see
You
There is a little section which happens
Can you explain how many homes
19
will be acquired and the purpose of that?
20
looks to me like there's a retention pond.
21
you just explain how that works in terms of the
22
whole widening of the road project?
23
MR. ANDRES:
24
It
Can
I could do that.
Weiland Road has some areas that were developed

in unincorporated Lake County.

was built before the subdivisions on the other
3
side of the street were built.
4
right of way for Weiland Road was 66 feet.

The original
When
So as subdivisions develop
10
within the village land was dedicated for the

future roadway.
12
there's never been any redevelopment of the
13
property so the right of way is fairly narrow in
14
that section.

an additional southbound lane and northbound

(847)623-7580
176
1
and a half feet.
2
in order to add another lane in the bikeway we
3
need to acquire land from the homes that front
4
along that roadway.
5
four-lane section in there the bikeway would be
6
within eight feet within the front of those
7
homes, not a desirable situation if you live
8
there.
9
On the east wide of the roadway
In order to fit the
So the plan calls for the
10
acquisition of five homes on the east side of
11
Weiland Road from Pauline Avenue almost to Pope
12
Avenue to the north.
13
acquired from the homes would be used as a
14
detention facility for the roadway.
15
more paved area we have to provide areas to store
16
water during a storm event and hold it until it
17
can drain off in a controlled fashion so that's
18
the plan as it stands in that area.
19
Now that land that would be
As we add
Basically fit the five lane
20
roadway, we are not showing an acquisition on the
21
west side of the road because they already
22
dedicated land but on the east side we do need to
23
acquire property.
24
MS. BETHMAN:
Okay.
So I saw it
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
177
1
earlier in your study that you saw I believe it
2
was two bicyclists during your peak hour study so
3
that warrants kicking people out of their homes
4
because they need a bike path for the two
5
bicyclists that come by; is that correct?
6
MR. ANDRES:
One of the goals is to
7
provide a multi-modal facility, to not only
8
provide for the auto traffic but to provide for
9
pedestrians and bicyclists and so an important
10
goal is to have a continuous bike facility.
11
is kind of the chicken or the egg argument
12
mentioned earlier about crossing at Prairie Road
13
at the school, because it's so unsafe to cross
14
there they don't cross there, but if you had a
15
crosswalk, people would use it.
16
This
If there was bikeway, more
17
people would use it.
18
to buy the homes to provide this bike path.
19
the homeowners said, you know, this is my
20
homestead, I've lived here my whole life, I don't
21
want to lose my home, they don't have to lose the
22
home.
23
24
Homeowners, we don't have
MS. BETHMAN:
If
You would just run it
in front?
WAUKEGAN, IL

MR. ANDRES:
We'd run it in front of
2
the house.
3
homeowner to say we think we would buy your
4
entire property.
5
sell the entire property, we're willing to sell
6
you our front yard, that's a possibility, that's
7
a choice, but I think the bikeway is important
8
and the roadway widening is important.
9
We think it's a better choice for the
If they said we don't want to
MS. BETHMAN:
Then I had another
10
question about the retention pond.
11
think or did you even consider this in your
12
study.
13
problems in that area.
14
that?
15
How do you
There's already been a lot of flooding
How will that impact
MR. ANDRES:
Well, it should have no
16
impact on flooding.
17
it won't make it worse.
18
be needed for additional runoff, the new bikeway,
19
the new lanes of pavement.
20
water, wouldn't allow it to run off into these
21
adjacent areas and it would be released at a
22
controlled rate.
23
but it probably won't get better either.
24
It won't make it better but
The detention pond would
It would detain the
So the flooding won't get worse

Thank you.

MR. BRAGG:

MR. KIM:
Thank you.
Thank you.
My name is Daniel Kim.
I
4
live at 535 Newtown Drive.
5
questions I was wondering, this might be
6
(inaudible) would this project be ultimately
7
decided on a referendum or would this be a bill
8
the village board would approve?
9
10
11
MR. BRAGG:
So some of the
The village board would
vote on it.
MR. KIM:
And close to my
12
understanding is the reason for the Weiland Road
13
being expanded to two lanes is due to congestion
14
at the intersection of Aptakisic and Weiland; is
15
that correct?
16
MR. BRAGG:
Well, it's to relieve the
17
congestion in the 2040 design year from not only
18
Prairie/Weiland but also Aptakisic movement so
19
it's all integrated to insure that the through
20
traffic north/south can continue to move through
21
and not be stopped up by the east/west traffic
22
particularly on Aptakisic.
23
24
MR. KIM:
Okay.
And then the other
thing I was wondering about is we were projecting
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
180
1
the traffic increase to population growth in the
2
area but based on the examples given by CMAP it
3
doesn't seem like a lot of growth, maybe an
4
additional 10 vehicles per day.
5
growth coming from, surrounding towns or other
6
areas?
7
MR. BRAGG:
Where is the
Well, the average
8
single-family home generates I think 10 trips per
9
day so one single-family home averages 10 trips
10
per day so if you talk about if we add, you know,
11
a couple hundred houses in the next 30 years
12
you're talking about be some real traffic there.
13
You know there was some discussion about the
14
Didier Farms property.
15
our eye on developing their property.
16
Didier's family property, but at some point that
17
could develop and it is planned to be residential
18
property, single-family residential so that's
19
where those traffic generators come from.
20
MR. KIM:
Certainly we don't have
It's the
I guess the last thing
21
talking about crosswalks and like the amount of
22
traffic that went through the areas.
23
said the measurements a few weeks ago.
24
the only time you've done it or have you done it
WAUKEGAN, IL
I think Bob
Is that
(847)623-7580
181
1
throughout the entire year?
2
MR. ANDRES:
We've done traffic
3
counts when the project started back in 2007.
4
The -- at the last meeting we were requested to
5
look at signal warrants at four locations and
6
look at pedestrian activity in two areas.

studies were done in May.

The traffic studies
We had to wait for some good
We've had kind of a lousy spring so we

waited for some better weather.

the future?
13
that data done.
14
Those
Will that be done again in
It seems a very small sample to get
MR. ANDRES:
Probably not.
Everybody

has to do more with less.
16
money to go out and study this multiple times
17
and, you know, to collect more data.

19
MR. KIM:
We don't have the
That's all the questions I
have.
20
MR. BRAGG:
Thank you.
21
MR. ERNSTEEN:
Hi, Steve Ernsteen.
22
2033 Jordan Terrace.
Bob, to clarify something
23
from the beginning of your presentation you
24
brought up the signal warrants, we were just
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
182
1
talking about it for the area right around
2
Meridian School.
3
specific criteria that were needed to warrant the
4
physical stoplight versus pedestrian flashing
5
signal.
6
gave, 400 cars per hour?
7
We talked about there was
Was one of those criteria four hours you
MR. ANDRES:
How was that.
We looked at a bunch of
8
warrants.
9
the four-hour warrant, we looked at the peak hour
10
warrant and look at the pedestrian warrant and we
11
also looked at the crash warrant based on safety,
12
if there's accidents there are conditions for
13
that as well.
14
None of them met any of the minimum conditions of
15
putting it in.
16
We looked at the eight-hour warrant,
We looked at all those things.
MR. ERNSTEEN:
Right.
There had to
17
be a certain amount of cars per hour that passed;
18
is that correct?
19
MR. ANDRES:
Well, the warrant is
20
based on -- the traffic warrants, let's put it
21
that way is based on the total traffic on both
22
directions on the major road and the highest
23
approach on the minor road.
24
section you would pick either of the approaches.
If you had a cross
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
183
1
You look at the relationship between those two
2
volumes then you put that into a number graph or
3
into the table and see if it meets warrants or
4
not.
5
MR. ERNSTEEN:
So within a certain
6
number of cars you had to see past these black
7
strips that count that drove past the Meridian
8
School.
9
be at that time to warrant the study for a
How many cars per hour did they have to
10
traffic light, per hour, per four hours, per
11
eight hours?
12
MR. ANDRES:
Either -- let me get
13
back to my sheet here.
For the eight-hour
14
warrant we would need a total of 500 cars per
15
hour for eight hours in both directions on
16
Prairie Road.
17
one direction on Brandywine for eight hours.
18
were nowhere close to meeting that.
We would need a total a 150 cars
19
MR. ERNSTEEN:
20
hour we didn't meet that?
21
MR. ANDRES:
22
MR. ERNSTEEN:
23
MR. ANDRES:
24
We
So at 500 cars per
Well -So by Prairie -Prairie wasn't too far
off from meeting that but Brandywine was nowhere
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
184
1
near.
2
MR. ERNSTEEN:
The reason for my line
3
of questioning is because the 2008 sample in your
4
chart at the back of the room says we have 10,000
5
cars per day travel in that section of Aptakisic
6
Road -- or Prairie Road between Aptakisic and
7
including the midnight hours that would be 416
8
cars per hour.
9
not meet that criteria?
10
MR. ANDRES:
How is it possible this data does
I could show you the
11
data.
12
Road had 600 cars, 983 at 8 p.m., 668 at 4:50,
13
621, 683, 607, 567.
14
threshold but when you look at Brandywine at 6
15
a.m. they had 52 cars.
16
what did I say, 150 so at 52, 177 at 7 a.m. so it
17
was over 150, it went down to 89, 46, 44, 28, 31,
18
73, 64 so it was well below the threshold.
19
20
21
22
23
24
For example starting at 7 a.m. Prairie
Those are all above the
We need a total of --
MR. ERNSTEEN:
Because of that cross
street?
MR. ANDRES:
have enough traffic.
The cross street didn't
Prairie had enough traffic.
MR. ERNSTEEN:
The other point I
wanted to make was peak traffic, the presentation
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
185
1
with the animation and all that gizmo showed our
2
connector road, the first one with, the
3
alternative road without the bypass with just
4
widening the lanes at Aptakisic and Weiland Road,
5
just widening them so you could turn right a
6
little bit better, turn left a little bit better.
7
To me the point I was trying to make was it
8
looked to me and I think most people in the room
9
the traffic pattern in that study between Prairie
10
Road and Weiland as well as before Prairie Road
11
that cars would have to stop at at most one
12
traffic light.
13
going to happen I think that alternative is least
14
impactful for all involved and I also saw that
15
one traffic light stopped for anyone in this room
16
I don't think is not a big issue.
17
to cause a noise wall because it didn't look like
18
it was that expensive.
19
to make.
If that expansion was actually
It's not going
That's the point I wanted
20
It doesn't seem like we have to
21
go through this hundred million dollar project,
22
it doesn't seem that it's something we'd end up
23
doing and I think it's something that definitely
24
needs review.

6
question where was the other pedestrian study.
7
It's along Meridian around Prairie.
8
the other area that was studied?
9
A couple comments first.
MR. ANDRES:
The
Secondly, the
Where was
The first area was
10
Miramar and Brandywine, that whole area along the
11
school.
12
Deerfield Parkway.
The second area was between Newtown and
13
MR. LEISSER:
14
MR. ANDRES:
15
MR. LEISSER:
So both by schools?
Right.
So we're going to
16
basically put more traffic by the schools as it
17
is is what the study will do -- is what that road
18
improvement will do.
19
MR. ANDRES:
Well, the traffic is
20
there now and, you know, the improvement is not
21
going to generate large amounts of traffic as a
22
result of this.
23
24
MR. LEISSER:
You can get anywhere
through our village easier, traffic is going to
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
187
1
go there.
2
What input or what projects were taken into
3
account with this study in terms of 22 or Buffalo
4
Grove Road or Lake-Cook Road?
5
were made in our increasing traffic in this area
6
in terms of those roads?
7
8
9
10
11
12
That leads me to my next question.
MR. BRAGG:
What assumptions
As far as what would be
improved?
MR. LEISSER:
MR. BRAGG:
Right.
Claire, do you want to
respond to that?
MS. BOZIC:
Aptakisic Road,
13
Illinois 22, Weiland Road, Buffalo Grove Road,
14
the north extension of Illinois 53 is an
15
expressway and Lake-Cook Road.
16
MR. LEISSER:
I understand those are
17
on the list of projects but what exactly was
18
taken into account?
19
MS. BOZIC:
20
MR. LEISSER:
21
22
23
24
Additional lanes.
So the Buffalo Grove
Road improvement, what section was that?
MS. BOZIC:
That was the section
north of Deerfield Parkway.
MR. LEISSER:
North of Deerfield
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
188
1
Parkway which when it built originally had that
2
set aside and from the information I obtained
3
from the village in the last couple weeks it's
4
been handed over as the county project, it is on
5
their plan not until 2017.
6
MS. BOZIC:
7
MR. LEISSER:
I don't know when.
Can you speak to that?
8
That's the information I received from the
9
village.
10
MR. ANDRES:
11
MR. LEISSER:
12
That's not far off.
What's the time table
we're looking at actually doing this project?
13
MR. ANDRES:
14
MR. LEISSER:
15
MR. ANDRES:
Doing this project?
Mm-hmm.
It's completely
16
dependent on funding assuming the county and
17
village board agree to go forward.
18
funding.
19
20
21
It depends on
I can't tell you.
MR. LEISSER:
And Route 22
improvements?
MR. ANDRES:
That the Route 22
22
improvement is the segment between Clinton Road
23
and Route 83 the remaining two-lane section.
24
IDOT is going to construct that in I'm guessing
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
189
1
2014.
2
3
4
MS. YOUNG:
That would probably be
the soonest.
MR. ANDRES:
IDOT is finishing a
5
Phase One study then it takes about two years to
6
design it and they have the money I believe to
7
build it so that would be within the next
8
probably four to five years.
9
MR. LEISSER:
And the Lake-Cook Road
10
expansion is right in the heart there between
11
Weiland Road or Arlington Heights Road or 83 or
12
how far is that going to go?
13
14
15
MS. BOZIC:
That ends just west of
Buffalo Grove Road.
MR. LEISSER:
So all of those areas
16
that are going to be fixed much more rapidly or
17
sooner than this project is going to be addressed
18
are the areas that are basically being avoided by
19
taking Weiland Road right now to get through.
20
do it myself.
21
years now and there weren't chickens running
22
around in '73 but Lake-Cook Road did not exist
23
and you don't want to hear that stuff but the
24
point is Buffalo Grove Road seems to be a much

I've lived here in the area for 38

(847)623-7580

more sensible alternative to this.

3
doesn't have the impact of dumping cars into
4
nowhere.
5
It doesn't
All your study as I asked you
6
before was ending at 22.
Only one-third of that
7
traffic goes north now.
8
Prairie Road more of that is going to go through.
9
If the study wasn't done for that part of the
You add traffic to
10
area we missed a big part in terms of safety of
11
our residents of Buffalo Grove.
12
The Prairie View train station
13
as well as the Vernon Township part on the west
14
side and farther north the Vernon Township pool
15
area where there is traffic concerns right now
16
and there is pedestrian concerns right now,
17
that's the area I live and, yeah, the trains
18
stop.
19
even without trains and the traffic now it is a
20
great through-way.
21
It's really bad going through there, but
People are exploring and finding
22
ways to avoid these other problems and that has
23
become a better way to get through.
24
understand why we're not improving that quicker.
WAUKEGAN, IL
I don't
(847)623-7580
191
1
MR. BRAGG:
If I can, the projections
2
that we provided include those being improved so
3
let's say that we didn't do Weiland Road for
4
whatever reason, we're still going to have
5
traffic issues.
6
somewhere but as far as the Buffalo Grove Road,
7
that's something that we're working with Lake
8
County on but they're in charge of it.
9
It's going to be pushed
You know, it's always been
10
planned four lanes but I think the reality of it
11
is they're just starting the Phase One, that's
12
going to take a year or so to get design done and
13
get the funding in place and do the construction
14
so I think we're talking about the realities of
15
getting the job done.
16
few years but everything that we've done, all of
17
those projections for Weiland say that 53 is
18
going to be extended and have, what, about a
19
hundred thousand cars a day, more than a hundred
20
thousand cars a day are going to be going north
21
on 53 plus the improvements to 22 and I believe
22
22 plans to have an interchange on 53 so that
23
should divert traffic from Lake-Cook Road, but
24
even with all of that we still are going to see a
It's going to take them a
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
192

lot of problems on Lake County Road.
2
easy problem to solve.
3
MR. LEISSER:
It's not an
All those projects
4
being improved still showing this much of an
5
increase I don't think it was that much money's
6
worth of an increase in traffic.

MR. KOPINSKY:

Thank you.
Mervyn Kopinsky,
If I were in the village
10
and undertaking a project of this nature there's
11
three questions I would be asking myself.
12
data I'm getting coming from an impartial source.
13
Somebody has raised questions about that and
14
really as I leave tonight almost I've been
15
subject to a bit of a sell job where I see things
16
arise where there's genuine questions that are
17
gently being left out.
18
Is the
For example, we heard that this
19
17 percent of the time that the barrier is down.
20
Well, it takes another -- it takes a long time
21
after the barrier comes up before the traffic
22
clears out so I'm sure it's not 17 percent, it's
23
probably something like 25 percent.
24
pictures about open land in Buffalo Grove all of
WAUKEGAN, IL
We saw these
(847)623-7580
193
1
which is going to be developed somehow to support
2
the numbers but for the growth that we saw.
3
Then there's a question of the
4
train line which hasn't been adequately allowed
5
for in the studies that we saw and finally it's
6
the constant stream of flippant comments like,
7
oh, there's going to be fewer trains on that lane
8
now because one train line bought the other
9
train.
We're looking at a 30-year projection so
10
there's going to be no other purchase of trains
11
that's going to increase the traffic?
12
constant stream of comments all in the favor of
13
this project that gets me concerned about the
14
partiality.
15
It's this
That's the first point.
The second point I would ask
16
myself is will the problem be solved.
We're not
17
going to solve the problem why would we be
18
undertaking this?
19
lot of concerns about the train line and it's not
20
sure that this is going to solve the problem.
21
The train line wasn't even modeled on the
22
software.
23
and we don't even know that that solution is
24
actually going to solve the problem?
All I've heard tonight is a
So we're going to spend all this money
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
194
1
The final question I would ask
2
myself is, undertaking a project like that is the
3
data sound.
4
we've heard tonight that the data is totally
5
unsound.
I couldn't do a better job than
Thank you.

MR. BRAGG:

MS. DEUTSCH:

Hi, I'm Allison Deutsch
8
and I'm representing the JCYS at 1700 Weiland.
9
have questions that are very specific to that
I
10
area.
11
like we are very much affected so I have a couple
12
questions, one being how much of the area are you
13
looking to actually pull off of that corner in
14
that land on the southwest side of Aptakisic and
15
Weiland?
16
17
18
19
No matter which plan you go with it looks
MR. ANDRES:
I have to go look at the
map.
MS. DEUTSCH:
Because that affects us
and how we do our business.
20
MR. ANDRES:
21
MS. DEUTSCH:
Sure.
The other piece of this
22
it looks as if there's a lot of construction on
23
the front of Aptakisic and Weiland.
24
what, we're going to be affected.
No matter
Our families
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
195
1
and we are a very large school, our families are
2
going to be affected.
3
children to us and from us the buses that are
4
coming to and from us from the school districts
5
like I say are affected.
6
be affected.
7
Their ability to get their
Their travel times will
So my question is we have very
8
limited access in and out of our parking
9
facility.
Would you be willing to look at
10
alternatives for us to be able to get in and out
11
of Aptakisic while Weiland is being worked on,
12
otherwise, we're not going to be able to do our
13
business and our families are not going to be
14
able to do our business?
15
16
MR. BRAGG:
Let me answer your second
question first.
17
MS. DEUTSCH:
18
MR. ANDRES:
Okay.
If this project comes to
19
fruition I think your operation's going to be
20
affected because that intersection has to be
21
improved one way or the other.
22
MS. DEUTSCH:
23
MR. BRAGG:
24
Exactly.
We'll work with you
and/or affected businesses in the area to make
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
196
1
sure that we have a plan for you to be able to
2
get in and out.
3
would be a project we would have to do with Lake
4
County but, obviously, we will work with you to
5
make sure that you can operate and hopefully we
6
can do construction and minimize the impact on
7
you as much as possible so definitely we're very
8
sensitive to anywhere that we're going to have
9
business or residents affected.
10
If that involved Aptakisic that
MS. DEUTSCH:
Prior to before your
11
voting would you be able to work with us on a
12
plan of action before you go to vote on this
13
piece?
14
MR. BRAGG:
It would be done during
15
the time that we actually do the design of the
16
project and at that time the engineers will sit
17
down and work with you, figure out what your
18
traffic patterns are, what your peak hours are
19
and figure out what we need to do and we would
20
engage obviously our police department in that
21
process as well if we have to have some form of
22
traffic control for your peak times before any
23
construction would occur, absolutely.
24
same thing we would do with the local schools.
WAUKEGAN, IL
It's the
(847)623-7580
197
1
We want to make sure or minimize our impact on
2
them.
3
Arlington Heights Road and we've got some
4
challenges there and that's something we try to
5
work with them very closely on.
6
It's a situation we're dealing with now on
MS. DEUTSCH:
Those are projects that
7
we've seen are not short-term, they're very
8
long-term projects.
9
MR. BRAGG:
Absolutely.
10
MS. DEUTSCH:
11
Okay, so that's the first question.
12
MR. BRAGG:
13
MR. ANDRES:
14
15
Absolutely.
I appreciate that.
Bob's behind you.
I need to use your
microphone so the reporter can hear the answer.
Under the connector road
16
alternative there would be a five-foot strip of
17
acquisition along Weiland Road and a two-foot
18
strip acquisition along Aptakisic Road.
19
no connector road alternative there would be a
20
five-foot temporary easement along Weiland Road
21
just for regrading of the ground and there would
22
be a nine-foot acquisition along Aptakisic Road.
23
24
MS. DEUTSCH:
In the
That's a large -- we do
have our signage and everything else in that area
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
198
1
2
and we would need to have that looked at.
MR. BRAGG:
It might be beneficial
3
for us to follow up with you off line and maybe
4
with your staff and kind of go over what the
5
challenges are so that we have an idea even
6
before going of the design process.
7
MS. DEUTSCH:
The other question I
8
have for you is if this doesn't go through at
9
all, my understanding let me see if I've got this
10
correct, when you were talking about the
11
stoplight on Thompson, correct, you're saying
12
that we're near where we should be to be able to
13
have that stoplight at this point or close to
14
this point in time?
15
MR. BRAGG:
16
MR. ANDRES:
17
Right.
We satisfy the minimum
conditions for that.
18
MS. DEUTSCH:
19
MR. ANDRES:
Okay.
At this point --
I know where you're
20
going and there is no money for the stoplight in
21
anyone's program so. . .
22
MS. DEUTSCH:
So you're telling me
23
you are aware this is a problem and this is an
24
immediate problem that we probably could take
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
199
1
care of yet it's not something that we're doing?
2
MR. ANDRES:
The warrant that we need
3
is a peak hour warrant.
The bar is the lowest it
4
ever gets.
5
of priorities for signals throughout Lake County
6
or the village, I'm not sure that would bubble to
7
the top as a really important signal to put in.
8
9
We barely meet that bar so in terms
MS. DEUTSCH:
Going back to that
whole train line that we've been talking about,
10
when we see that we can't get our families in and
11
out and the people can't get in and out of
12
Thompson and a lot of it is because of that train
13
line, would that alleviate some of those
14
difficulties with the train?
15
MR. ANDRES:
The widening of the
16
roadway would make it easier to get in and out.
17
Right now there's a single right-turn lane so
18
many right turners, they block the through lane
19
access.
20
property, they can't.
21
22
23
24
If someone wanted to get to your
MS. DEUTSCH:
We know that.
And the
police like to stay there.
MR. ANDRES:
So providing the dual
right turn lane and by making it longer those
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
200
1
right turners get stored out of the way so you
2
would have better access to the light.
3
signal at Thompson won't solve that problem by
4
not having enough pavement width to get the
5
people by but widening the roadway would do
6
that.

MS. DEUTSCH:

You said that there's a wall
21
built that we do get a vote on it, okay, but what
22
about everything else, do we get a vote or only

2
MR. BRAGG:
As far as the project
itself?
3
MS. DEUTSCH:
Yeah, because so much
4
money has been spent already and my house is
5
probably going to be decreased in value.
6
much more is it going to be?
7
MR. BRAGG:
How
The final approval
8
authority for the village will be the village
9
board so they will make a determination if they
10
want to move forward.
11
MS. DEUTSCH:
If only there was an
12
election beforehand which there's not going to
13
be.
It's a joke.
14
MR. QUILLINAN:
Pat Quillinan.
I'd
15
like to apologize to the trustees that are still
16
here.
17
come back.
18
get up in seven hours.
19
Thank you for being here late.
I appreciate it.
I saw you
We've all got to
You did a really good job on the
20
presentation tonight.
Have the village board
21
ever considered, we talked a little bit about it
22
the last time with the Sims study available.
23
Have we ever look at fixing the intersection at
24
Aptakisic and Weiland with the two right-turn
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
202
1
lanes that you showed and the two left-turn
2
lanes that you showed with two lanes going up to
3
it and show what the traffic pattern would be and
4
how it would help out the Jewish Community Center
5
as well as the regular traffic going out on
6
Weiland Road?
7
thought about?
8
9
Has that been considered or
MR. BRAGG:
I'm not sure that would
solve the problem.
10
MR. ANDRES:
Well, you know,
11
that's -- we were looking at a long-range plan
12
for this entire project area.
13
biggest problems second to Lake-Cook Road in the
14
area so if this is built in stages that would be
15
probably one of the first things that the village
16
and the county would look to is how do they fix
17
that intersection because that's a big
18
bottleneck.
19
village through the years has applied for federal
20
funds.
21
funds is well suited for that program.
22
That is one of the
That's one of the projects that the
These conjunction mitigation air quality
They've applied for it a number
23
of times, have been unsuccessful in getting
24
money.
There was another call for projects, they
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
203
1
changed the CMAQ program where I think they're
2
going for like years instead of a yearly program
3
they asked for five years and they've got like a
4
billion dollars worth of projects submitted for
5
this and there's funding that's going to be 350
6
billion.
7
MR. ANDRES:
There's a lot of
8
people competing for these funds.
9
a good maybe first or second project to do if
10
11
That would be
this is built in changes.
MR. QUILLINAN:
You mentioned that
12
last time I appreciate the village applying for
13
that, that's a good thing, but instead of making
14
four lanes could we offer this?
15
fed won't give us the money to fix that
16
intersection, could we take a project and with
17
your Sims projections let's fix the intersection
18
at Aptakisic and Weiland instead of having four
19
lanes back there.
20
Let's say the
Right now with the 18-wheelers
21
going through Weiland Road right now on two lanes
22
we're shaking out of our beds.
23
up to the back of Weiland Road so if we make it
24
four lanes, but to alleviate the problems that
My house is right
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
204
1
we're all trying to address here tonight if we
2
can fix the intersection and keep it two lanes
3
maybe we can make it four lanes all of way down.
4
Has that been considered or consider standing
5
aside from the grant applications you've talked
6
about?
7
MR. ANDRES:
This project has been
8
approached as a improvement of a corridor from
9
Lake-Cook Road up to Route 22 and coming up with
10
a master plan for that corridor.
11
broken out looking at one intersection.
12
that comes out of this would qualify for just
13
what you're saying.
14
the hoops we have to jump through for federal
15
funding will have been done and if the village
16
were successful in getting CMAQ moneys for an
17
intersection improvement they could go right to
18
the design of the project because we've completed
19
the Phrase One study but we have not looked at
20
abandoning the rest of this corridor and just
21
focusing on (inaudible).
22
It has not been
The plan
In other words, the studies,
MR. QUILLINAN:
Bob, would they
23
consider that a corridor improvement if we could
24
improve the two lanes and make it real good road
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
205
1
instead of making it four lanes?
2
upon that as a corridor improvement?
3
MR. ANDRES:
4
as a spot intersection.
5
Would they look
They would look at that
MR. QUILLINAN:
If you actually fixed
6
Weiland Road, if you actually fixed Weiland Road,
7
improved it properly, shoulders on the side,
8
curbing, the intersections, would they look upon
9
that as a corridor improvement or does it have to
10
be four lanes?
11
MR. ANDRES:
That would not meet the
12
federal criteria for the funding that is being
13
pursued, these federal funds.
14
we'd have to prove that we couldn't widen it to
15
four lanes or they were so substantial but it
16
would not qualify for federal funding when you're
17
saying to say fix this intersection and keep it
18
two lanes here and two lanes here.
19
MR. QUILLINAN:
In other words
And when you
20
mentioned Aptakisic Road when is that projected
21
to be possibly six lanes?
22
2040?
23
24
MR. ANDRES:
Is that part of that
It is not in anyone's
plan to be six lanes.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
206
1
MR. QUILLINAN:
2
MR. BRAGG:
I though it was --
We looked at it as an
3
alternate to the connector so if the connector
4
wasn't built and we had to meet the level of
5
service requirement we would have to do some time
6
of improvement to Aptakisic to maintain that
7
level of service.
8
9
10
11
MR. QUILLINAN:
When you said it
would go back down to four lanes because you need
to have Lincolnshire involved as well?
MR. BRAGG:
Right, that would be
12
beyond the village's jurisdiction and that would
13
be a Lake County issue.
14
that path so to speak.
15
We haven't gone down
MR. QUILLINAN:
And then the last
16
thing, if this road were to go through four lanes
17
would it be feasible to make it possibly a
18
boulevard like Lake-Shore Drive is so we don't
19
have the 18-wheelers to shortcut through?
20
21
MR. BRAGG:
That would be subject to
county engineers.
22
MR. ANDRES:
23
MR. QUILLINAN:
24
THE AUDIENCE:
I would say no.
Thank you.
I was told to come up.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
207
1
How much does the traffic light cost?
2
MR. ANDRES:
They vary.
A traffic
3
light in Lake County, Lake County has a lot of
4
technology that they put into their traffic
5
lights.
6
communication equipment, they have the ability to
7
control that light remotely to be able to change
8
signal timings and respond to incidents that
9
occur there.
They have cameras, they have
I think in Lake County a traffic
10
signal is in the range of $300,000 my
11
understanding.
12
MS. YOUNG:
250 to 300.
13
MR. ANDRES:
14
THE AUDIENCE:
250 to 300.
In terms of the cost
15
of this project each traffic light would be least
16
than three percent of the cost of the project,
17
the projected cost of the project.
18
those four traffic lights that we're asking for,
19
that don't meet warrants you would end up with a
20
lot more happier people and it might be worth
21
considering that and in other comments we live on
22
the corner of Horatio and Weiland, I guess it's
23
Newtown and Weiland and we struggle to get out of
24
our subdivision and my children are not allowed
If you put in
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
208
1
to cross the road.
2
So when you're counting the
3
pedestrians at the schools and pedestrians at
4
these intersections you're not going to see
5
pedestrians crossing there because it's not safe
6
so you're counting people who are not using the
7
road.
8
intersection.
9
drive down to Pauline during peak traffic so I
10
And the same thing is true for the
I avoid my own intersection, I'll
can get out the Weiland.
11
The amount of those people using
12
those intersections would change and the amount
13
of those people crossing those intersections
14
would also change and it's a small amount of
15
money to spend for happier people.
16
MR. ANDRES:
You may be correct that
17
if there were signals, volumes would change,
18
the use of intersection would change but the
19
village and the county cannot put in unwarranted
20
traffic control devices.
21
to a lot of liability if there's an accident
22
there and if that intersection did not meet
23
warrants.
24
THE AUDIENCE:
They open themselves up
If they have a traffic
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
209
1
2
signal and there is an accident?
MR. ANDRES:
If the signal is
3
unwarranted and the village installs it and the
4
county allows it and if there's a collision there
5
there is a huge liability for the village and the
6
county for allowing an unwarranted traffic
7
control device to be installed.
8
9
10
THE AUDIENCE:
And if there's a
collision at the intersection and there's no
traffic light?
11
MR. ANDRES:
It meets standards.
12
other words there is no liability.

MR. BRAGG:

I'm living at 20537

Weiland Road.
17
going to (inaudible) if the project takes off.
18
As I heard you there are no alternatives.
19
project takes off there's either my property is
20
going to be taken away or I have to have Weiland
21
going through my living room.
22
feet from basically the front of the house?
I'm one of the lucky ones that is
23
MR. ANDRES:
24
MR. STOIMENOV:
If the
You said eight
Right.
So there is no
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
210
1
alternative?
2
MR. ANDRES:
There really isn't.
3
That's one of the Narrower Parts of Weiland Road
4
to be able to fit that four-lane roadway with the
5
sidewalk and bikeway.
6
This is no alternative.
MR. STOIMENOV:
Okay.
And my next
7
question is how long is it going to take for
8
the project to take off providing the financing
9
is. . .
10
MR. ANDRES:
It could be many years.
11
In other words, this is a long-range plan.
There
12
is no money to build it.
13
built in phases and I'm not sure if that would
14
be the first piece that would be built so it
15
could be many years before Weiland is widened in
16
front of your house.
It will probably be
17
MR. STOIMENOV:
18
MR. BRAGG:
19
THE AUDIENCE:
Okay.
Thank you.
One more.
I just wanted to say
20
that I'm jumping on what other people have said
21
and that is the fact that I do think that the
22
village would like to do the due diligence and
23
maybe change that peak hour for 15 minutes one
24
side or the other.
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
211
1
There's no magic one hour as a
2
time frame, not seven until eight.
Maybe 6:45
3
until 7:45 would be a better look based on
4
basically the people here and a lot of the train
5
information that we've gathered from tonight.
6
That and to me you're sort of
7
putting the cart before the horse.
You're
8
looking to go ahead with this Weiland project,
9
you've looked at it, what, this is the fourth
10
time you've done a study.
11
in '98, 2002, 2005.
12
we've looked at it and tried to gather up the
13
numbers to get it widened?
14
You said there was one
This is the fourth time
MR. ANDRES:
This is the first time
15
an engineering and environmental study has been
16
done.
17
referring to there was a study done looking at
18
the costs of the roadway widening.
19
if it went four lanes what would it cost.
20
There were -- I think what Marge was
THE AUDIENCE:
It was saying
Oh, okay, because I
21
thought we've looked at it a lot and I do think
22
that we've made assumptions in the forecasting
23
instead of the typical 20-year outreach for your
24
forecasting, you've upped it to an additional
WAUKEGAN, IL
(847)623-7580
212
1
nine years so the numbers are going to be larger
2
than, you know, what we would assume would happen
3
in 2030 and so we're looking at a road but all of
4
this is complimented by the fact that you're
5
assuming that 22 is going to get widened and
6
you're assuming that 53 is going to go forward
7
and you're assuming that something is happening
8
with Buffalo Grove and I do think that with all
9
the people here that have objected or have
10
concerns about the widening of Weiland I do think
11
that Buffalo Grove needs to take a look at how
12
those other projects are going to progress and I
13
do think that the intersection at Aptakisic and
14
Weiland is probably unnecessary.
15
have to go through it every morning so I'll leave
16
it to a lot of people that do have to wait there.

MR. BRAGG:

I luckily don't
