| Applicant | County | Project Type | Project Description |
| CTA | Cook | Phase II and Construction - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The CTA is seeking Phase II engineering and construction funding for the Halsted and 79th Street Bus Turnaround project. The goals of the project are to improve the bus turnaround located at 79th Street and Halsted Street with ADA compliance at the platform island, and to improve access to and from the site. The project will construct all improvements required to provide a continuously accessible path from the existing sidewalk to the island platform, including ADA ramps at the island platforms and curb ramps at the bus driveway. Additional improvements for the visually impaired are also included. The bus turnaround directly serves the #8 Halsted bus, the #8A South Halsted bus, and is adjacent to the 79th Street bus route. |
| Ford Heights | Cook | Phase II and Construction - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The Village of Ford Heights is seeking Phase II engineering and construction funding for the design and construction of 7,000 linear feet of sidewalk and 10 ADA compliant intersection curb ramps, detectable warnings, and landing pads. The road segments to be improved include: 11th Street from Ellis Ave to Berkeley Avenue and from Lexington Avenue to Woodlawn Avenue, 12th Street from Ellis Avenue to Woodlawn Avenue, 13th Street from Ellis Avenue to Woodlawn Avenue, Berkeley Avenue from 13th Street to Lincoln Highway in the Village of Ford Heights. These improvements will serve residents with accessing Pace bus route 357. This project previously recieved Phase I engineering funding from the Access to Transit program. |
| Harvard (Rte 173) | McHenry | Phase II and Construction - Pedestrian Access Improvements | Harvard seeks to complete a Phase II engineering and construction for pedestrian access improvements along Ill Rte. 173 between Marengo Road and US Route 14. This project will construct new sidewalks, ADA improvements, and pedestrian access over Mokeler Creek to better connect residents to the Harvard Metra Station and Pace bus route 808. |
| Harvey | Cook | Phase I - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The City of Harvey is seeking Phase I engineering funding for future improvements that include an on street bike lane along portions of 155th Street between Broadway Ave and Lexington Ave, as well as three crosswalks along the corridor in the City of Harvey. The project will resurface the roadway as a prerequisite to installing the bike lane and making intersection improvements. The project would directly support access to Pace bus route 364 as well as to the Harvey Transportation Center and the Harvey Metra Electric station. |
| Hazel Crest | Cook | Phase I - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The Village of Hazel Crest is seeking Phase I engineering funding for future improvements that include a sidepath connector, raised crosswalks, and pedestrian scaled lighting at key intersections in the Village. The sidepath connector would widen the existing sidewalk from 5 feet to 8 feet on 170th Street from Park Avenue to Dixie Highway. Additional improvements would include pedestrian lighting and raised crosswalks at key intersections. The widened sidepath would serve pedestrians accessing the Hazel Crest Metra Station that serves the Metra Electric line as well as Pace riders using Route 356 which crosses the study area along Wood Street. |
| Itasca | DuPage | Phase II and Construction - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The Village of Itasca is seeking Phase II engineering and construction funding for pedestrian gate crossings at the Walnut Street railroad crossing, just north of IL-19 (Irving Park Road), and pedestrian activated flashing beacon signals at two crossings along IL-19, one at S. Maple Street and the other at S. Rush Street. ADA upgrades to the crossings and new wayfinding signage are also part of the proposed improvements. The proposed improvements will enhance the pedestrian network and experience to increase the attractiveness and safety of walking and biking to the Itasca Metra station on the MD-W line. |
| Metra | Cook | Phase II and Construction - Pedestrian Access Improvements | Metra is seeking Phase II engineering and construction funding for the installation of a new climate controlled shelter at the Edgebrook Metra Station platform. The project will also include increased bike parking, enhanced bike and pedestrian pathways, sidewalk connectors, ADA compliant curb ramps, and new wayfinding signage. New wayfinding signage will guide people to CTA bus route connections and the nearby North Branch Trail. The Edgebrook station serves the Metra MD-N line. |
| Niles | Cook | Phase I - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The Village of Niles is seeking phase I engineering funding for future improvements that include a sidepath along Dempster Street between Cumberland Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue (IL 21) in the Village of Niles. Proposed improvements include a 10 foot sidepath, ADA ramp improvements at signalized intersections, and other associated tasks that include potential utility relocations and fence improvements. The proposed sidepath will connect existing Pace transit stops on Dempster, two of which are being upgraded to Pace Dempster Pulse Line stations (Cumberland, Milwaukee). One will remain as a stop for the Pace Bus Route 250 (Dempster @ Grand), which currently lacks sufficient pedestrian access. |
| Waukegan | Lake | Phase I - Pedestrian Access Improvements | The City of Waukegan is seeking phase I engineering funding for various improvements to ADA compliance, pedestrian access, and wayfinding signage at Waukagan's downtown transit hub. Proposed improvements would include a mid-block flashing beacon pedestrian crosswalk on Sheridan, painted crosswalks at Washington and Spring, and realigned curbs and ramps at intersections to improve pedestrian safety. Also proposed are safety improvements for motorists in the area, including left turn pavement markings and 3-way stop signs and stop bars that indicate motorists to yield to pedestrians. The proposed improvements would serve pedestrians accessing the Waukegan Metra station on the Union Pacific North line as well as Pace bus route 565, 568, 571, and 572. |
