Comments sought on planning documents

 

UPDATED May 10, 2007.  The public comment periods have ended.  Please click the links to download the associated PDF documents:

1. Draft 2030 Regional Transportation Plan Update (RTP) – March 23 to April 23, 2007
2. Draft FY08 Unified Work Program (UWP) – March 23 to April 23, 2007
3. Draft Public Participation Plan (PPP) – March 23 to May 10, 2007
 

Produced in partnership by CMAP and the CATS Policy Committee, the RTP Update (with revisions italicized in the PDF) will bring the 2030 Plan into compliance with new federal requirements but will not change capital projects, which were recently updated. This update will focus on the policy context, objectives and strategies.  The Public Participation Plan will guide CMAP’s activities through 2010.  The proposed FY08 Unified Work Program lists planning projects that CMAP and partners -- including Metra, CTA, RTA, the Council of Mayors, CDOT and Pace -- will undertake to enhance transportation in northeastern Illinois and to fulfill federal planning regulations.  Click here to learn more about the UWP process.

Once finalized, these documents will help shape CMAP's first comprehensive plan for the region's land use and transportation.  That plan is scheduled for completion in 2010 (see timeline)

To further facilitate comments, a public meeting was held at CMAP from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 2. Pre-registration for the meeting is appreciated (phone 312-454-0400) and will ease attendees' entrance through Sears Tower security. Valid photo ID is required for access.
