Sec. 5-5.     Legislative declaration.     The General Assembly declares that  the  welfare, health, prosperity, and moral and general well being of the people of  the State are, in large measure, dependent upon the sound and orderly  development of municipal areas.  The City of Dixon has  become and will  increasingly be the hub of  transportation from all parts of the region.  Motor vehicle traffic, pedestrian travel, and the safety of  both motorists and pedestrians are substantially aggravated by the location of  a  railroad spur line running through the City of Dixon.  The presence of  the railroad spur line in the City of Dixon  is  detrimental to the orderly expansion of industry and commerce and to progress  of the region.  To alleviate this situation it is necessary to relocate the  railroad,  to acquire property for relocation of the railroad  or highways, and to create an agency to facilitate and accomplish that  relocation.
