Hanover Park - County Farm Road Transit Service Study
Description
This project consisted of a transportation feasibility study to identify potential transit options along County Farm Road, for the ten mile segment between Lake Street on the north and Roosevelt Road / the DuPage County Government Center on the south. The service recommendations addressed access to the Hanover Park Metra Station, the DuPage County Government Center, and multiple businesses and places of employment along the corridor. Project tasks included public involvement, a mobility needs assessment, service recommendations and implementation strategies. The Village of Hanover Park led the study, with the towns of Roselle, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, Winfield, and Wheaton serving on the project steering committee.
Current Activities
This project was completed in December 2012. A Transit Improvement Task Force has been formed to implement the recommendations of the study. The task force consists of members from the communities of Hanover Park, Roselle, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, Winfield, and Wheaton; as well as representatives from the RTA, DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, and DuPage County. Topics addressed range from having the member communities adopt the plan as part of their comprehensive plans to discussions regarding potential service areas for local transit. The task force continues to monitor potential funding sources.
