• Technical Advisory Group Participation (posted 5/20/09)

  As you are aware, a study of the potential improvement of Illinois Route 131 (IL Rte. 131) / Green Bay Road from Sunset Avenue to Russell Road in Lake County has begun. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) held the first Public Information Meeting concerning the study on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at Beach Park Middle School in Beach Park , Illinois . One hundred five (105) people were in attendance at the Public Meeting. The next Public Meeting, tentatively scheduled for early spring 2009, will work towards the development of the project Purpose and Need.

  To assist in the development of the environmental and engineering studies for this project, IDOT will establish three Technical Advisory Groups ( TAG ) which will comprise stakeholders with expertise or particular interest in Environmental, Land Use, and Transportation. The TAG 's purpose is to provide input on the development of the Purpose and Need statement and the alternatives to be carried forward for evaluation in the Draft Environmental Assessment. The TAG members will meet throughout the project development process. The TAG input will be considered and shared with the corridor planning group. The TAG may also be asked to address the corridor planning group to help communicate technical issues. The meeting program will be designed to encourage timely and meaningful opportunities for input into the project process.

  IDOT would like to invite you to join a Technical Advisory Group for this study.

  If you are interested in joining a TAG group, please fill out the required fields and check the appropriate box for the group you are interested in on the mailing list in the Get Involved section of the website and we'll inform you of your group's meeting time.
