WHEREAS, Homer Glen, New Lenox, Lemont, Will County & Lockport recently formed the I -355
Corridor Planning Consortium (CPC); and
WHEREAS, one the goals of the I -355 CPC is to work together to tie in our local Bike & Pedestrian
Plans so that we may develop an integrated regional system; and
WHEREAS, this planning will require a close coordination of real estate market strategy, land use
planning and regulation, and transportation planning; and
WHEREAS, certain extensions and connections to regional and local trails have been planned or
developed by various municipalities, park districts, counties, and forest preserve districts, but no
coordinated plan has been designed or agreed upon to provide local connections and continuity throughout
the system; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of creating an "I -355 Area Master Bike Plan" for the I -355 CPC is to
create a plan that allows governmental, not - for - profit, and private partners to achieve coordinated
development of trails prior to, or in conjunction with, new development as it occurs in our communities;
and
WHEREAS, recognizing the need for regional planning and intergovernmental cooperation, the I-
355 CPC solicited a proposal from Houseal Lavigne Associates to develop a "I -355 Area Master Bike Plan"
to fill in the gaps in the existing and planned bike network and provide the connectivity required to
complete the regional bike plan; and
WHEREAS, on behalf of the I -355 CPC, Lockport submitted an application for funding through
ComEd's Transformation Grant Program; and
WHEREAS, ComEd has awarded $5,000 to initiate the plan; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary and appropriate that the City and the Village enter into this
Intergovernmental Agreement in order to define the obligations of each of them in connection with the I-
355 Area Master Bike Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of Illinois provides authority for Units of Local
Government to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lockport and the Village of Lemont are "Units of Local Government ", as
