Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

605 ILCS 5/4-510

from Ch. 121, par. 4-510

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Highway Code. Requires the Illinois Department of Transportation to establish exact (rather than approximate) locations and widths of rights of way for future additions to the State highway system and to hold a public hearing whenever exact (rather than approximate) locations and widths of rights of way are to be established. Requires the Department to prepare a map showing the exact location and widths of the rights of way. Requires the filing of an environmental impact study along with a notice of approval of the map and a copy of the map in the office of the recorder for all counties where the land needed for future additions is located. Requires the Department to hold public hearings to discuss the viability and feasibility of each protected corridor not more than 10 years after the protected corridor is established in accordance with the provisions of the Code, and not later than the expiration of each 10-year period after the establishment of the protected corridor. Requires the Department to give due consideration to the information obtained at that hearing and to abolish the protected corridor if construction of the roadway is no longer feasible. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes amendatory language requiring the Department to establish exact locations and widths and to hold public hearings when those widths and locations are established.

Fiscal Note (Department of Transportation)

The provisions in this bill could lead to a lack of corridor protection. While this would have no immediate fiscal impact on the Department, the lack of corridor protection may lead to an inability to expand highways in rapidly growing and developing communities. This lack of expanded highway development will lead to traffic congestion which cannot be relieved because of the lack of area to build new highways. This congestion and lack of expanded highway development can cost communities and regions billions of dollars and stifle long term economic development.
