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.

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.
