IDOT Holds Meetings For New Transit Systems

IDOT

The Illinois Department of Transportation is considering plans for new transit systems including road, bridge and airport improvements. IDOT is holding local meetings to hear from members of the public.

The Illinois Department of Transportation, along with the Illinois Capital Development Board, will hold a series of listening sessions over the next month to discuss the state’s infrastructure needs. 

Community members are invited to Wednesday morning at Ottawa City Hall.  Another meeting takes place that evening at KSB Hospital in Dixon. 

There will be two meetings on Friday.  One happens at the University Center of Lake County in Grayslake -- the other at the City Building in McHenry. 

There will be a meeting at the DuPage County Chamber of Commerce on May 11. 

IDOT officials want to speak with residents, businesses leaders and other stakeholders during each stop.  IDOT will present a list of transportation goals and recommendations to Governor Bruce Rauner’s office for consideration.
