Title/Name/Summary

131st Street Median Modifications - East of LaGrange Road

 

History

The Illinois Department of Transportation recently constructed the raised median along 131st Street east of LaGrange Road per the approved plans.  The area north and south of 131st Street east of LaGrange Road continues to develop.  The area north of 131st Street is Palos Park and has very limited access.  With additional development occurring, the Village of Palos Park requested the median to be removed and the road striped to allow access to the developments.  The requested improvements, will also benefit the businesses of Orland Park, and provide access to the businesses for motorists traveling west on 131st Street. 

 

The Village of Palos Park has requested that Orland Park share in the cost of the median modifications since there is a benefit to the Orland Park businesses.

Financial Impact

Staff will coordinate with the Village of Palos Park the actual quantities and cost and will request a budget adjustment at the time the Village is invoiced.

 

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village of Orland Park and the Village of Palos Park, which calls for the reconstruction of the 131st Street median and to reimburse the Village of Palos Park for 50% of the total cost of the construction estimated at $47,000;

 

And

 

Authorize the Mayor and Village Clerk to execute the agreement.
