Orland Park LaGrange Road Transit Improvement Plan
Description
This project identified transit and pedestrian friendly improvements for development/redevelopment along the heavily used LaGrange Road Corridor. The study area consisted of LaGrange Road from 131st Street to Interstate 80.
Current Activities
This plan was completed in April 2010. A $106 million IDOT project that was launched in the summer of 2011 includes widening LaGrange Road to three lanes in each direction from 131st to 179th streets. Construction also included brick paver crosswalks in key locations, (the first-ever brick paver crosswalk crossing a Federal/State roadway in the State), along with new sidewalks, landscaping and extensive ornate aesthetic enhancements to enhance pedestrian access and safety to the Metra station.
