MAYOR’S REPORT TO: City Council FROM: Mayor Pamela J. Althoff FOR: June 3, 2002 Regular City Council Meeting RE: Year 2002 Corridor Planning Grant Program My office recently received notice from the Illinois Department of Transportation seeking applications for the Corridor Planning Grant Program. This program is part of Governor George H. Ryan’s Illinois Tomorrow initiative. The program is intended to help local governments develop land use and infrastructure plans that promote the efficient use of transportation facilities and enhance the quality of life. This year’s program will provide $3- million to support transportation planning for local governments. Over the past several years, the City Council has considered developing a transportation plan to address the long-term needs of the city. Developing a transportation plan was anticipated as part of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan update in 1999; however, it was removed from the scope of work for budgetary reasons. The Corridor Planning Grant Program is targeted for this type of planning activity. With an increasing burden placed on the McHenry’s transportation facilities, it would be prudent to address the problems the city is experiencing through a comprehensive transportation study. A study of this type will cost between $75,000 and $125,000 depending on the scope. If the City were successful in obtaining a grant, all but 10% of the cost would be paid by grant funds. If the City Council wishes to submit an application, the deadline is June 28, 2002. Successful applicants will be notified in fall 2002. If successful, it is anticipated that the study would begin in spring 2003. CONSENT AGENDA TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John A.
