Should 143rd Street be extended to Route 126 and the existing interchange at 126 & 1-55 be expanded? They will identify the special procedures and reviews by which agencies having jurisdiction would require the Village to follow should it decide to proceed with design and construction. Provide the estimated costs for constructing such a roadway to applicable IDOT Standards, identifying the major components such as R.O.W. acquisition, bridges, wetland mitigation, engineering, construction etc. They listed grants or other agency funds available to the Village associated with the various components, and calculate their likely application through consultation with IDOT and any other applicable agency. They prepared a time line estimate for the funding procedures, grants, engineering, construction and local and other agency funding.
