Founded in 1836, Lemont grew rapidly with the construction of the canal linking the Mississippi River to the Great Lakes and its associated industries including quarrying (limestone) and rail commerce. Lemont is no longer a booming industrial town. However, its distinctive qualities such as its location, recreational opportunities, unique neighborhoods and solid school system have helped it evolve into a community whose population has nearly doubled in the last ten years. The Village of Lemont, when first developed, was concentrated along the bluffs of the Des Plaines River. Over time the river's valley was significantly altered to change the course of the Des Plaines and construct three shipping canals, the I &M Canal in the mid 1800s and later the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Cal -Sag Channel, which continue to operate today. As Lemont grew, it extended over the bluff and spread south. Consequently, Lemont's topography is complex, consisting of a large, steep hill (the bluff), which plateaus then gently slopes downward toward Long Run Creek along Lemont's current southern boundary. While adding character to the community, Lemont's topography is a challenge to transportation planning, both vehicular and pedestrian. Transportation and mobility are key issues for a growing village like Lemont. Intricately tied to quality of life, the residents of Lemont must be able to go from point A to point B easily and efficiently. Several modes of transportation exist to make this journey, motorized vehicles being the most commonly used. To this end, the Village of Lemont has a Thoroughfare Plan and a Ten Year Comprehensive Road Improvement Plan for roadway improvements, among other plans dedicated to improving the Village's street system. A motorized vehicle, however, is not the only mode of transportation and is not a mode that is accessible to all populations. Often forgotten in the planning process are the modes open to all ages and budgets — walking and bicycling. The Village 3 recognizes the importance of these two modes and with this plan hopes to make the community more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. The specific goals of this plan are to: ➢ Create pedestrian and bicycle linkages to surrounding communities ➢ Promote walking and bicycling as viable modes of transportation ➢ Decrease vehicular congestion and the current strain on parking facilities in the downtown, at schools, and religious institutions ➢ Develop pedestrian and bicycle facilities south of the downtown 4 Existing Conditions Trails The Village currently maintains two trails; both located in the north half of Lemont. The first is the I &M Canal trail. This trail runs east west along the I &M Canal from the Heritage Quarries Recreation area to Ceco Road in Will County. Neither of these locations can currently be considered trailheads; no parking or signed entrances exist at either location. The primary entrance of the trail is off Stephen Street in the downtown, where public parking is available in several locations. Additional parking is proposed east of the downtown near the entrance to the Heritage Quarry recreation area. The trail is approximately 6 miles long and, in some sections, is both north and south of the canal. The I &M trail currently does not connect to any other trails or communities and therefore is considered a recreation trail only. The trail is ten feet in width and is a multi -use trail; it is constructed of limestone screenings. The trail's only signage consists of mile markers. Several shelters and parks exist and are planned for the trail corridor, including the Heritage Quarries Recreation Area and a dog park. The Village is also working with the Army Corps of Engineers to restore the Canal, potentially through dredging the waterway. The second trail is within the Heritage Quarry Recreation Area directly northeast of the downtown. The Village recently acquired this property for primarily passive recreation and the master plan for the area includes several trails, primitive camping, and fishing. One large looping trail, over one mile in length, has already been completed and additional trails will be completed in 2003. It passes by several spring fed quarries, the working Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, and under a dense canopy of mature oak trees. 5 Sidewalks and Crosswalks All new developments in Lemont must have sidewalks of either a 5 feet or 6 feet width, depending on if the development is residential or commercial. Gaps in the sidewalk system are present in the traditional Lemont neighborhoods immediately south of the downtown. These neighborhoods were first developed in the late 1800s and consequently the sidewalk system is not complete or always compatible with today's standards. These neighborhoods are also home to many of the community's churches and schools. The Village recognizes the importance of having a complete sidewalk system and is working toward this end. The first step, an inventory of the sidewalks, was initiated in August 2002. Clearly marked crosswalks are also critical for pedestrian travel. Prior to the beginning of each school year, the crosswalks along school routes are repainted. The major challenge for Lemont regarding sidewalks and crosswalks is the jurisdiction of the streets throughout the Village. Many of the most highly traveled roads are neither owned nor maintained by the Village, but are under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) or Cook County Highway Department, both of which have their own standards for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Moreover, the IDOT and Cook County routes frequently divide neighborhoods, making safe pedestrian crossings a challenge. The Village must work closely with these agencies to achieve its goal of a pedestrian friendly community. Surrounding Communities Several of Lemont's neighbors have developed trail systems, to which the Village one day hopes to connect, including Woodridge, Willow Springs, Lockport, and New Lenox. One of the closest is the Willow Springs section of the I &M Canal trail. It is east of downtown Lemont, running from Illinois Route 83 into downtown Willow Springs. One can access this trail from Illinois Route 83 via a 6 wide sidewalk and a pedestrian on/off ramp along the bridge over the I &M and Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canals and the Des Plaines River. Also at Illinois Route 83, the DuPage County section of the future Centennial Trail will meet Cook County's section, both of which are currently cleared, but do not have their final surface. The Centennial Trail is part of the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor and the Grand Illinois Trail, which loops across northern Illinois extending from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan. It follows the Des Plaines River along its southern shore connecting to the I &M Canal Trail though the Lockport Regional Trail to the west (Will County) and to the Salt Creek Greenway Trail (Cook County) to the east. The trail will consist of both on and off road improvements. Will County has completed the work its off -road segment between the Cook and Will County boundary and 135th Street. Between this section and the currently cleared, but not yet completed section in the DuPage County, is an existing private roadway maintained by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC). Along this road, the Centennial Trail is proposed to take the form of an on -road improvement west of State Street and a separated trail east of State Street. Lemont is surrounded by several Forest Preserve Districts, including Waterfall Glen, Argonne and Palos Hills, all of which have an extensive system of multi- use trails, as well as other recreational amenities. 7 Project Areas In order to achieve the four primary goals of this plan, Lemont has divided the work into five projects: expansion of the I &M Canal Trail; Links to the I &M Canal Trail; South Lemont Trails, Bicycle Routes and Sidewalks, Intersections, and Crosswalks. This chapter outlines each of the projects (indicated by a "o" bullet) and the necessary steps (indicated by a "•" bullet) for their completion Expansion of the Illinois and Michigan Canal Trail In 1970, the Village of Lemont assumed ownership of the waterway and the 90 foot reserve strip north and south of the I &M Canal from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), which was known at the time as the Department of Conservation. The Village's ownership begins at Ceco Road in Will County and continues (with a few exceptions) to the east to where the Canal was filled during the construction of the Cal -Sag Canal in 1920, east of the International Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT) facility. This ownership removes one major obstacle to trail expansion — acquiring property. The Illinois and Michigan Canal Trail resides completely within the reserve strip. The trail is currently used for recreation purposes. Expanding the trail to create an approximately 10 -mile loop will result in a more usable recreational facility, especially with the planned addition of pedestrian bridges linking the north and south trail segments. The Canal is also an historical landmark; if restored, it could become an educational attraction. To promote these uses, additional signage, both on the trail and in the downtown is necessary. The following projects are recommended to achieve expansion of the I &M Canal Trail. o Design and construct the missing segments of the I &M Canal Trail within the Village owned reserve strip • Obtain funding through grants to complete Trail segments 8 • Consider paving (asphalt) and lighting the section of the I &M Canal trail (north and south) between the State Street Bridge and KA Steel o Install way - fmding signs in downtown and along roadways heading into downtown (Main Street, State Street, New Avenue, etc.) • Install trail signage • Mileage markers can double as location markers- north or south of I &M, east or west of Stephen Street for faster emergency service • Trailhead signs - rules of trail, miles to locations of interest (picnic areas, recreation areas, etc.) • Educational signs — history of canal and quarries o Install pedestrian bridges linking the north and south trail. • Ensure bridges are constructed to allow potential recreational boating use of the I &M, if desired by the Village. • Utilize historic features, such as limestone columns, in bridge design. o Promotional Activities • Sign Contest • Clean ups (annual or bi- annual) • Adopt a Trail programs 9 Links to the I &M Canal Trail As previously stated, Lemont's I &M Canal Trail is currently only a recreational trail. It does not connect to any other trail system, preventing Lemont residents from exploring other communities on foot or by bicycle and conversely inhibiting residents from neighboring communities from doing the same. A well used bicycle and pedestrian facility will offer Lemont a range of benefits besides the health benefits of having a recreational facility, including providing an additional route to work, school, or a friend's home and the economic benefit of attracting people into the ever growing downtown. Connecting the I &M Canal Trail to other communities will not be a simple or inexpensive task. Lemont is very fortunate that it maintains jurisdiction of the I &M Canal within its boundaries, thus making the expansion dependent upon factors other than landowner negotiations. However, connecting the existing trail to other communities and their trail system may require land acquisition, boundary extensions, boundary agreements and expensive capital improvements. It will defmitely require the cooperation of various municipalities, governmental agencies and private corporations to handle the physical obstacles including waterways and previously developed properties. Connecting the I &M Canal Trail to other communities will specifically require the following projects. o Work with the IDNR to develop a trail extension along the I &M Canal west of Ceco Road in Will County (IDNR owned, Village maintained) • Work with Citgo, the Canadien National Illinois Central (CNIC) railroad, Village of Lockport, Village of Romeoville and other municipalities to obtain easements or dedications necessary to connect segments of the I &M Canal Trail • Work with IDNR to improve Ceco Road to include a pedestrian crossing • Use signage to direct users to important location such as restroom facilities, downtowns, and parking 10 • Work with the Army Corps to dredge the I &M Canal and with IDNR unblock the frequently clogged culvert under Ceco Road and restore the I &M Canal wall where possible o Construct a bridge over the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal connecting the I &M Canal Trail to the Centennial Trail • Complete Phase I and II engineering, working with MWRDGC, IDOT, U.S. Coast Guard, and the DuPage County Forest Preserve • Create a unique structure that reflects Lemont's heritage, the working shipping canal and the connection to the Grand Illinois Trail • Include signage locating the downtown and Heritage Quarries Recreation Area • Obtain additional funding through grants, including the potential authorization of the federal transportation enhancement fund, to cover the Village's share of matching funds and for construction costs • Hold ribbon cutting events, potentially including a race and sign contest o Link to the DuPage County Forest Preserve District • Work with IDOT and DuPage County Forest Preserve • State Street and/or Route 83 11 South Lemont Trails The Village's trail system and recreational facility are both located in northern Lemont, in the downtown and in the older sections of the Village. However, the residential growth in Lemont is occurring in the southern half of the Village and throughout Lemont Township. The only consistent sidewalk system for many of these residents is within the new residential development, unless the development is unincorporated, in which case, sidewalks are not required. The residents of these new subdivisions (incorporated and unincorporated) and the Lemont Township officials have expressed a desire to have a safe and efficient route to the local schools, recreational facilities, commercial centers and the downtown. A trail along Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) easements is one way to meet these resident's needs. In Lemont Township, Commonwealth Edison has both north south and east west easements. The north south easement runs parallel to Bell Road, beginning north of Main Street and running south into the Village of Homer Glen. It crosses an east west easement just north of 131x` Street. The east west easement begins east of Bell Road on Cook County Forest Preserve property and runs west through Lemont into Will County. These two segments traverse a section of Lemont Township that does not have many pedestrian or bicycle facilities. Trails along these easements could connect residents to major commercial centers such as Long Run Market Place, Old Quarry Middle School, the Park District's primary facility and provide an off -road connection between the northeast and southwest corners of Lemont. These objectives can be achieved through the following projects. o Create a plan to present to Commonwealth Edison • Joint Village, Township and Park District proposal • Contact communities who have successfully worked to develop trails along Commonwealth Edison easements for information • Public Participation — including landowners meetings to determine best routes 12 • Create realistic schedule for segment completion • Finalize design criteria — asphalt trail, non - motorized and dusk to dawn hours o Contact Commonwealth Edison o Funding • IDNR • Congestion, Mitigation, and Air Quality (CMAQ) • Potential reauthorization of transportation enhancement funds • Contributions from local businesses o Develop Trail system • Public participation — including landowners meetings • Wayfmding signs • Fencing or landscaping? 13 Bicycle Routes Designating bicycle routes on the existing roadways is another way to accomplish the goal of linking the new developments in southern Lemont to the neighborhoods, schools and commercial centers in the north. The 2001 Southwest Conference of Mayors (SCM) Bikeway Plan update designates six roads in Lemont Township, 127th Street, 131x` Street, 135th Street, Derby Road, McCarthy Road and State Street for on -road improvements. According to the plan, on -road improvements include bike lanes and wide curb lanes. The SCM Bikeway Plan states that parallel routes to the above mentioned roadways are acceptable as long as access to the destinations along the arterial/collector road are accommodated. The Plan identifies a 9.75 -mile segment of McCarthy Road, between Illinois Street and 76th Street as a priority east -west bicycle connection. 4.65 miles of this are within Lemont Township. None of these six roads, with the exception of a portion of State Street, are under the jurisdiction of the Village and therefore any improvements to these roadways will require the cooperation of IDOT, Cook County, and Lemont Township. Given the lack of control Lemont has over these roads, as well as factors such as hills and truck traffic, alternative routes should be found for some of these six roadways. The creation of safe and effective bicycle routes in Lemont can be achieved through the following projects involving both the examination of potential roadways and the enforcement of vehicular and bicycle rules of the road. o Contact IDOT, Cook County and the Township to determine when these six roads are planned for reconstruction. • Discuss the possibility of including on -road bicycle facilities in the improvement plans o Determine the bicycle level of service (BLOS) and bicycle compatibility index (BCI) of the six roadways (both before and after improvements) 14 • Work to include the necessary improvements into the reconstruction plans for the six roads listed in the SCM Bicycle Plan • Study alternative routes, including Average Daily Trips (ADT), BLOS, and BCI • Make the necessary improvements to the alternative routes alternative routes o Make a bike route linkage between areas east and west of the proposed I- 355 south extension a priority. • Off -road bicycle path is preferred. • Work with Cook County Highway Department (jurisdiction over 127th Street); the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (owner of the 127th Street frontage that must be crossed); IDOT; Park District/Township and other agencies to plan and construct a bikeway (preferred) or sidewalk along 127th Street. • Consider use of future land -cash contributions for recreational purposes to help fund a bikeway if classifiable as a donation for "park purposes" that is reasonable related to the development (that is, if the development is located in the area that needs the bikeway access). • Include the pedestrian facility in the plans for the Phase II 127th Street reconstruction (State Street to Smith Road). • Seek resident input on the manner of pedestrian connection through a public meeting, survey, or similar method. • Apply for outside funding to accomplish this goal. o Make connection of the Lemont High School athletic facility at Bell and 131st to nearby residential areas a priority_ • Off -road bicycle path is preferred. 15 • Consider use of either the 131st Street right of way, Com Ed right of way, or both, as a route • Work with Cook County Highway Department and the Lemont High School District to plan and construct the facility. • Seek resident input as described above. • Apply for outside funding to accomplish this goal. o Work with the Police Department to monitor and enforce the vehicular and bicycle interactions • Ticket vehicles blocking sidewalks • Budget for the purchase of bicycles for patrolling bike routes and trails o Publicize new routes • Create maps • Organize events such as bike to work or school day or special bicycle training classes with the Police Department 16 Sidewalk, Intersection, and Crosswalk Condition Inventory A comprehensive sidewalk system is key to making Lemont a "walkable" community. Lemont has sidewalk on approximately 80% percent of the Village's street system. New construction projects within the Village, both residential and commercial, require the installation of sidewalks on all public roadways; a width of five (5) feet in residential districts and six (6) feet in commercial and industrial districts. The sidewalks in the historic downtown commercial district recently received a facelift with wider walkways and a pedestrian friendly design including benches, planters and brick pavers; the project was awarded the project of the year by the Chicago Metropolitan Chapter of the American Public Works Association. Stephen Street, which is scheduled for reconstruction in 2003, will also accommodate way finding signs, public spaces and possibly public art. These features were applauded by two consultants who ran a one day Walkable Community Workshop in Lemont in the fall of 2001. The workshop, one of ten held in the Chicago region, was awarded to Lemont for its past efforts in and future commitment to improving walkability, including the 50 -50 sidewalk program. The 50 -50 program provides residents with partial funding to repair or replace sidewalks in front of their residences. The total amount of funding for this project is limited, but until the annual fund is emptied, the Village pays for half of the resident initiated improvements. The program is ten years and last year 26 households took part in this program, improving 3,843 square feet of sidewalk. Despite these efforts, the sidewalk system in the traditional Lemont neighborhoods surrounding the downtown has a few gaps, as well as areas in need of maintenance or reconstruction. This sidewalk system is particularly critical because of the number of churches and schools within these neighborhoods. Lemont's sidewalks, intersections and crosswalks can be improved and enhanced through the following steps. 17 o Complete an inventory of the Village's sidewalk system and a schedule for the improvements • Locate gaps and areas of disrepair o Create a schedule for resurfacing of crosswalks throughout the Village • Work with IDOT and the Cook County Highway Department o Close the gaps in the downtown sidewalk system • Focus on areas around schools • Increase the funding in the 50 -50 sidewalk program o Continue to enforce the sidewalk requirement in new construction o Turn "desire lines" into functioning pedestrian facilities • Inventory desire lines • Create a map of the Village's desire lines o Work with the school districts to develop and implement a system of safe pedestrian and bicycle routes to schools • Map routes for each neighborhood beginning with those neighborhoods within 1/2 mile and increasing the distance over time. • Install directional signage • Community involvement • Hold events and activities including International Walk to School Day /Week o Look for opportunities to link First Street and Fourth sides by a pedestrian route. Currently there is no cross- access of any kind between these two dead -end streets • Consider reservation of a 20 foot crosswalk easement (narrower if 20 feet is impractical) on lots that may be proposed for resubdivision or redevelopment on First and Fourth Streets o Look for opportunities to link the Equestrian Estates/Equestrian Woods Subdivisions to the bicycle and pedestrian network. • Off -road facilities preferred. 18 • Consider interconnecting bike pa in aO new kibdivisions in the vicinity. • Work with the Township, Park District, IDOT and subdivision residents to plan appropriate routes. 19 Definitions and Specifications for Construction of Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Bicycle Level of Service (BLOS) and Bicycle Compatibility Index (BCI) — Statistically reliable methods of evaluating the bicycle conditions of shared roadway environments. The data needed to calculate the BLOS/BCI include the number of roadway lanes, width of the lanes, speed limit, on street parking, and presence and trucks. On -Road Facilities — Improvements to the roadway to accommodate bicycling including striping, signage, and pavement markings. Off Road Facilities — Pedestrian and bicycle facilities that are completely separated from a street's pavement, such as trails. The Village of Lemont follows the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines for trail development. The Standard Specifications for the Design and Construction of Public Improvements and Private Site Improvements, a chapter within Lemont's Subdivision Regulations, further outlines the requirements for the construction of trails in Lemont, specifically the Trails along the Historic I &M Canal and quarry system. 20 Project Outline and Implementatit Schedule Appendix Existing Facilities Bike and Pedestrian Map Bicycle Routes Green Spaces Map Heritage Quarry Recreation Area Heritage Committee I &M Canal Comprehensive Plan References Southwest Conference of Mayors Bikeway Plan AASHTO — Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities Subdivision Regulations NIPC Greenways Plan 21 Fall 2002 Winter 2003 Spring 2003 Summer 2003 Fall 2003 Winter 2004 Spring 2004 Summer 2004 Fall 2004 ISM CANAL East of Stephen Street P µ� a'S +Gi. ri tisI L tnt Eit 4 0/01 i.a4#w t ConStr�lct}on t �r• i k �Y, Y tit ' I',� t' � l � r. l� � � ,) ,-p 9 iii I t it it . , West of Stephen Appliedjort} { IDNR,grant '` Install Ped Bridges Engineeringt{onstruction�?'
