Description

This project assisted the Village in identifying, analyzing, and developing a transit improvement plan to encourage, promote, and complement transportation options along Route 20/Lake Street. The study focused on Lake Street from Route 83 on the east to Swift Road on the west, taking into account Pace bus Routes 711 and 715. Redevelopment guidelines that support transit and pedestrians, and a circulation plan recommending ways to accommodate multimodal transportation throughout the corridor were prepared. This project was developed as a continuation of another RTAP Project, the DuPage Mayors and Managers DuPage Community Circulator Prototype Plan, of which the Village was a participant.

Current Activities

This project was completed in July 2010. The plan was presented to and accepted by the Village of Addison Village Board on July 6, 2010. The Village is currently exploring funding options to install bus shelters along Lake Street at key Pace bus stops as recommended in the plan.
