The public meeting will show 3 different improvements for this intersection and ask for public input. (A typical intersection improvement, a round a bout and a grade separation).
This intersection is currently rated as an F. This location was identified as a consensus project in 2005 at the Lake County Transportation Summit. There have been no decisions on what the improvement will be but this is the time for the public to provide input on each of the alternatives. The Lake County Division of Transportation is in the preliminary phases, first going to public comment. With any improvement at this location, the tunnel that the County built will be incorporated into the project.
