The meeting materials include the following:
Design Alternatives
Pulaski Road’s design alternatives were introduced during the first public informational meeting. As described in the video to the right, the design concepts presented were high-level concepts based on corridor, traffic and community needs. These concepts provide the project team with enough information to understand the general impacts associated with each alternative. The prepared alternatives utilize standard dimensions from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (DoTH) design criteria to represent typical offsets, lane widths, sidewalk widths and shared-use path widths. Additional design details and impacts, including right-of-way and parking impacts, environmental impacts, as well as exact locations of the roadway, sidewalks and shared-use paths, will be evaluated during the next stage of the study, taking into account the public feedback on the concept alternatives presented.
