Environmental Documentation 

Grade separations would ultimately be required for some of the existing and proposed

crossings along the length of the Chicago to St. Louis Build Alternatives.  This section

describes how the crossings most likely to require grade separations were identified and

reports which crossings are recommended to be included for more detail study at the

next level of environmental documentation.  The purpose for this analysis at the Tier 1

level is to identify the potential costs and impacts that would be associated with these

grade separations.

Methodology

The first stage of this process was to determine exposure factors for three different area

types; rural, urban populations between 5,000 and 200,000, and urban populations over

200,000.  The exposure factors were calculated as the product of roadway average daily

traffic (ADT) and train volumes for existing railroad to roadway grade separated

crossings in the State of Illinois.  Since interstate highways and other freeways are fully

grade separated regardless of exposure factor, these crossings were left out of the data

set.  Once the relevant crossing data was obtained from IDOT, it was sorted to look at

only the crossings for which both train traffic and vehicular traffic from the Illinois

Commerce Commission (ICC) and the FRA databases were available.  This process

resulted in approximately 30 percent of the original data set to utilize as a basis for
Chicago-St. Louis High-Speed Rail   E-39 Tier 1 Final EIS 

comparison.  The results provided an average exposure factor for each of the three area

types described previously.  Doing so makes the data more comparable; for example, it

would not be pertinent to compare a crossing located in a rural area to one in a densely

populated urban area.  

The desired results were to calculate an existing exposure factor by multiplying the

given ADT by the train traffic at the individual crossing.  The average exposure factors

of the three area types were:

Urban – over 200,000 = 1,445,011;

Urban ‐ 5,000 to 200,000 = 150,379; and

Rural – less than 5,000 = 53,267.

Results

In order to identify existing at grade crossings to be studied at the next level of

environmental documentation for potential grade separation, only the non‐interstate

collectors and higher were analyzed.  The numbers of railroad to roadway crossings that

meet these criteria are 71 collectors and 67 arterials.  In order to get an exposure factor

for these crossings, the 2010 ADT was projected out to 2030 ADT using a 2 percent

growth per year.  The projected train traffic used was:  

Section 1 – Chicago ‐ 26 trains/day;

Section 2 ‐ Chicago ‐ 104 trains/day;

Section 3 ‐ Joliet to Springfield – 45 trains/day;

Section 4 – Springfield ‐ 45 trains/day;

Section 5 – Springfield ‐ 72 trains/day;

Section 6 – Springfield to Alton – 45 trains/day; and

Section 7 ‐ Alton to St. Louis ‐ 45 trains/day.  

Using these criteria, exposure factors were created for the 138 crossings.  The results

were then compared to the average existing exposure factors for the appropriate

population group to determine grade crossings to be considered in at the next level of

environmental documentation for grade separation.  Appendix D shows the crossings

that, based on this procedure, should be considered for further analysis of a potential

grade separation.   

Conclusion

Although there are 101 crossings for a potential grade separation, it would not be

reasonable to assume that all of these crossings would be studied at the next level of

environmental documentation for a grade separation for several reasons.  Local

jurisdictions may be opposed to the impacts of a grade separation and others may not be

justified when a life cycle cost analysis is completed.  Therefore, for the purposes of the
Chicago-St. Louis High-Speed Rail   E-40 Tier 1 Final EIS 

cost estimate, it was assumed that approximately 1/4 of the crossings would be built.  

The cost estimate includes 25 new grade separations from Chicago to St. Louis.

Though it is not anticipated that all of the potential grade separations listed would be

constructed in the future, the locations of the potential grade separations are listed

below to provide the best available information at this time.  This information provides a

better overall understanding of the types of crossings that would likely warrant grade

separations, and therefore what the long‐term components of the project might include.  

In addition, presenting the potential locations of the grade separations early in the

planning process gives local planners and officials, as well as members of the public, an

opportunity to review the information and provide input on the locations listed, and/or

not listed.  This input can then be considered in subsequent phases of the planning

process as the project progresses and more specific design plans are developed should

one of the Build Alternatives be selected for further study based on the results of the Tier

1 level analyses presented in this Tier 1 DEIS.
