West Dundee authorizes $25,000 for additional engineering on Illinois Route 72 LPI and crosswalk upgrades
Summary
The board authorized an amendment to Baxter & Woodman’s work for traffic-signal and leading pedestrian interval (LPI) modifications along Illinois Route 72, adding $25,000 to cover updated IDOT standards and additional engineering and submittal work.
The Village of West Dundee voted to authorize staff to execute an amendment with Baxter & Woodman for additional engineering services along Illinois Route 72 to support leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) and upgraded crosswalks.
A village representative said the project has been delayed and IDOT updated traffic-signal standards, requiring additional engineering analysis and new submittals. Trustee Iosca and staff described the need for stamped crosswalks and electronics modifications at multiple intersections; staff estimated review cycles with IDOT can take six to nine months. The amendment adds $25,000 for the additional engineering and submittal work.
Trustees approved the amendment by voice vote. Staff noted the left-turn lane previously proposed has been removed from the current scope for schedule and budget reasons.
Why it matters: The amendment keeps the downtown intersection upgrades and pedestrian-safety improvements moving forward under the village’s schedule and IDOT’s updated standards. Next steps: staff will coordinate with Baxter & Woodman and IDOT and return with project schedule updates.
