DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: Cook 

County, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for a proposed transportation 

project in Cook County, Illinois. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Norman R. Stoner, P.E., Division 

Administrator, Federal Highway 

Administration, 3250 Executive Park 

Drive, Springfield, Illinois 62703, 

Phone: (217) 492–4600. Diane O’Keefe, 

P.E., Deputy Director of Highways, 

Region One Engineer, District 1, Illinois 

Department of Transportation, 201 W. 

Center Court, Schaumburg, IL 60196– 

1096, Phone: (847) 705–4110. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Illinois 

Department of Transportation, will 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) on a proposal to 

improve Interstate 290 (I–290) located in 

the Illinois county of Cook. The 

proposed improvement would involve 

the reconstruction of the existing 7.5 

mile roadway facility from US 12/20/45 

(Mannheim Road) to east of IL 50 

(Cicero Avenue). Improvements to the 

corridor are considered necessary due to 

safety concerns, operational issues, 

traffic congestion, and age of facility. 

Alternatives that may be considered 

include (1) taking no action; (2) a full 

range of multi-modal build alternatives 

that involve the reconstruction of I–290. 

Improvements to I–290 have the 

potential to affect environmental 

features in the project area. The corridor 

is located in a highly developed mature 

urban setting with limited biological 

and natural resources. The built 

environment has the potential to be 

affected. Some resources within the 

proposed area include: cemeteries, 

parks, special waste sites, nearby 

historic districts, possible residential 

and commercial displacements, air 

quality, sensitive noise receptors, the 

Des Plaines River, and related indirect 

and cumulative impact considerations. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies. As part of the EIS process a 

scoping meeting for obtaining input 

from Resource Agencies was held on 

September 9, 2009. 

The Illinois Department of 

Transportation’s Context Sensitive 

Solutions (CSS) process will be used for 

public involvement. A Stakeholder 

Involvement Plan (SIP) has been 

developed to ensure that the full range 

of issues related to this proposed project 

are identified and addressed. The SIP 

provides meaningful opportunities for 

all stakeholders to participate in 

defining transportation issues and 

solutions for the study area. One public 

meeting will be held in Cook County at 

each project milestone. In addition to 

the public meetings, a public hearing 

and comment period will be held 

following the release of the Draft EIS. 

Public notice will be given for the time 

and place of the public meetings and 

hearing. A project website has been 

established (http:// 

www.eisenhowerexpressway.com) as 

one element of the project public 

involvement process. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above.
