Project Overview
The Village of Indian Head Park in conjunction with the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (DoTH), has initiated a Preliminary Engineering and Environmental (Phase I) Study for 2.3 miles of Wolf Road from 79th Street to Plainfield Road. Wolf Road is mostly a two lane roadway under Cook County DoTH jurisdiction that primarily falls within the Villages of Indian Head Park and Burr Ridge. The City of Countryside and Village of Willow Springs are also adjacent to the corridor.
The goals of the Wolf Road Corridor Study are to improve existing roadway deficiencies, bring the corridor up to current design standards, improve traffic safety and operations, accommodate future travel demands and review or improve pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.
Project Need
The existing Wolf Road corridor does not meet the future needs of the communities it serves. If nothing is done to the Wolf Road corridor, the pavement surface, structure conditions, safety, and traffic operations will continue to deteriorate over time. There will also continue to be a lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities to access local businesses, schools, parks, and other destinations along and adjacent to the corridor.
