Controversial Route 53 Extension a Step Closer to Reality
via Daily Herald
“Illinois tollway directors pulled the trigger today on a pricey study of extending Route 53 into Lake County amid objections from residents. A final vote will come next week.
The tollway’s proposed budget has $5.8 million for the plan next year, but the total cost of the environmental impact report is estimated at $40 million to $50 million.
The tollway has been mulling over whether to adopt the controversial project, which would push Route 53 north to Route 120, since 2011.”
