BACKGROUND:

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will be replacing the I-80 Des Plaines River Bridge over the next several years.  The project will include replacement and realignment of the I-80 bridge, as well as the replacement of the Center Street and Chicago Street interchanges on the bridge approaches.  Permanent and temporary construction easements will be required on two City owned properties utilized by the Department of Public Utilities on the east side of the Des Plaines River.  The proposed temporary easement will be in effect for five (5) years.  The properties, PINs 30-07-16-422-001 and 30-07-16-430-008, will be restored to preconstruction conditions following completion of the work.  The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

IDOT has submitted a property appraisal and offers to purchase a permanent easement for Parcel 1P10123PE.  IDOT has requested Parcels 1P10122PE and 1P10122TE be considered donations since the land will be dedicated as City right of way upon completion of the project.  A summary of these parcels is below.
