 that permitting work on the 119th Street turn lane will start as soon as possible.
 However, with IDOT permitting requirements, the improvements could take up
 to 2 years to begin. Dash stated that the 119th Street improvements are a
 Phase 1 project. Per the annexation agreement, Book Road construction must
 be completed upon 75% build out or within 5 years, whichever is first. PZC
 inquired about the level of service on 119th. Grieve responded that the Route
 59 and 119th Street intersection is in need of a complete rebuild; however; the
