The Illinois Commerce Commission approved items RR1 through RR6 at the July 17 meeting, granting time extensions for grant projects, approving safety improvement projects at rail crossings across Illinois and approving the taking of certain property in Will County through eminent domain where necessary to complete projects.

The commission considered the railroad items together, asking whether there were objections; with none raised, the orders were approved. The agenda language groups the actions as time extensions for grant projects, approval of the projects themselves, and authorization to take property in Will County through eminent domain as necessary. The orders were entered without recorded objections at the meeting.

The approvals allow planned public‑safety works at identified crossings to proceed under the commission’s grant and project authority and give staff and project sponsors procedural authority to pursue property acquisitions where required to complete improvements.
