Holt.. vroposea L nange uescripaon /comments imauae runaing cnange, it appncaDiel This project was awarded from the 1st funding cycle to construct a pedestrian bridge across 127th Street, east of Timberline Drive, in.Lemont. This bridge was to provide safe access to Old Quarry Middle School for children living north of 127th Street. The total cost of the bridge was estimated at $1,400,000.00. This cost was determined by the Village to be out of budget for the scope of work. In the meantime, the Village received ARRA funds and installed traffic signals with full pedestrian actuation at the intersection of 127th and Timberline, directly in front of the school. The pedestrians have adjusted quite well to the new signals, and all parties involved now feel that the pedestrian bridge is no longer necessary. Therefore, the Village is requesting that these SRTS funds be used to further provide a safe walking and biking environment around the school by constructing a new safe access point with pathway and parking lot. Plans and estimates.for this new project are attached. FHWA and ]DOT District personnel agree that this project would be beneficial and reflects the objectives of the Safe Routes to School program. Although this project differs from the project originally proposed, the new scoring criteria would have ranked it as a viable project. IDOT:Di Yes Infrastructure .Only (Documentation Attached): By:.

Tobias Attn: Roseanne Nance From: John Fortmann By: Christopher J. Halt Subject: Request for Concurrence to Change Scope of Work for Safe Routes to School Project* Date: September4,2012 *Village of Lemont Location: 127w Street at Timberline Drive Section No.: 08.00043 -00 -BR Project No.: SRTS - 9003(054) Job No.: C- 91- 490 -08 Cook County We have received the attached letterfrom the Village requesting to change the proposed scope of work from pedestrian overpass to a new safe access -point with pathway and parking lot. A traffic signal with pedestrian actuation was recently implemented at the same location that the pedestrian overpass would have been built The pedestrians have adjusted well to the use of the signal to access the Old Quarry Middle School and a nearby park; therefore, the Village, the School District, and the Lemont Park District have determined that the pedestrian overpass is no longer necessary. The new proposed scope of work will generally consist of a new pedestrian access point, pedestrian pathway system, and parking lot. The new access point will allow for 90 degree entry from 1270 Street with improved site lines. The pathway system will be located a greater distance from the curb than at presentfor added pedestrian safety. The parking lot will allow access to the pedestrian pathway for safe off - street use of the Park District facilities and the Old Quarry Middle School facilities. The Region/District concurs with the Village's request to change the proposed scope of work Furthermore, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) concurred with the new proposed scope of work at the Departments FHWA Coordination Meeting which was held In our office on August 14, 2012.

VILLAGE OF L_ EMONT SECTION NO.: 08- 00043- 00 -13R PROJECT NO.: SRTS — 9003(054) The FWHA Coordination Meeting commenced at 2 :35 pm. Introduction of all participants was made. Mr. James Cainkar, of Frank Novotny & Associates, Inc., also the Acting Village Engineer for the Village of Lemont, made a presentation of the proposed project. The purpose of the Coordination Meeting was to preserit the Villagers request for change in scot. Mr. Cainkar explained that the original projectscope was a pedestrian bridge over 127 Street, east of Timberline Dive. Due to the opening.of 1 -365 ramps at 1270 and the.concurrentwidening of 127th Street by CookCounty, the Village, School, and Park District anticipated difficulty in crossing 127th Streefto go to and from school. The cost of the bridge, to meet ADA accessibility requirements, was in the range of $1,400,000.00. This cost was determined by the Village to be out of budget for the scope, of work. In 2010, the Village expended ARA money to install a. traffic signal at 127th Street and Timberline Drive. This alleviated the need for the pedestrian bridge. At this time, the f School District announced that it would no longer provide school bUs services to the Ichildren Who live north of i 27th Street. Thos, there Was a significant inciease in drop -offs and pick ups Morning. and nightfit the school, However, many parents were also using the Park District's access road and parking lots as convenient drop -off points. This evolved i into a potentially dangerous situation on the Park District's - property, irtvolying vehicles and pedestrians accessing the school. The Park District performed a,study to find aw ay to solve this problem. The solution'irivolved the re- channekafion bf 127`h, relocation of the Park District entrance, separation of traffic movements on the Park Disidel access road, parking lot relocation, pedestrian pathway relocation, and roadway lighting. This plan was presented to all parties by -Mr. Gainkat_ Ms. Louise Egofske, Executive Park Director of the .Board of the Lemotrt Pak District, then made.a presentation outlining the problem the School and Park have incurred regardting vehicle arrd.pedestrian conflicts and requested that this change in scope be approved. Mr. Brian Witkowski, of ESI Consultants and consultant to the Lemont Park District, then presented all participants with photos of the major flooding that occurso at the existing Park entrance_ The proposed improvement would relocate the access driveway awayfrom this flood area. Various.partieipaiits at the meeting. asked questions about the existing conditions and proposed improvements. FHWA representatives concurred thatthe change in scope of work was acceptable. FHWA declared that the project can be processed as a CE -1 with no report. The Village and IDOT were requested to process the change in . scope.through proper FHWA and IDOT chanrjels. IDOT requested that the Park District submit a Ietter - affirming -theit support for -the project, ......._ The meeting adjourned at approximately 2:55 BY: James L. 07219 Coordination Meeting Mlnutes.doc N.E.

However, subsequent to the time of the original proposal, the Village of Lemont received ARRA funds and installed a traffic signal at the intersection of 1271° St. and Timberline Dr., with full pedestrian actuation. Since the pedestrians have adjusted well to the use of this signal to access the middle school and the nearby park, the Village, School District, and Park District feel that the pedestrian bridge is no longer necessary. No action has yet been taken with the SRTS funds that were ranted to the Village in 2008 The Village now desires to use the SRTS funds to construct a new safe access point with pathway and parking lot at the same location as originally proposed for the bridge. Please see the attached letter from the Village, along with an exhibit, and advise as to whether the change of scope can be approved. For your reference, please also see the attached 2008 letter granting the Village the SRTS funds for the original scope of work. Thank you.

The project anticipated at that time was for a pedestrian bridge to be constructed across 127 1h Street near Timberline Drive to help safely get children to both the school and park properties. The grant was awarded based on data collected concerning the new access to I -355 and the number of walkers in the vicinity. As design work proceeded the costs for the project began to rise. In 2009 the Village was awarded $300,000 in stimulus money to install a traffic signal at the intersection of 127h and Timberline. Included was enhanced pedestrian crossing and school zone lights. This project greatly improved the public safety conditions in this location. At that point, the SRTS was not utilized. In 2012, the Village was advised that the SRTS grant monies were still available but needed to be utilized in the vicinity of 127th and Timberline. Based on discussion previous, it was known the entrance, access road, and path system that facilitated pedestrian traffic in the area of the Park District and school needed to be improved for safety purposes. A preliminary design had already been completed. The Village and Park District worked with IDOT and the funds were reallocated to this project. Attached is the IGA between the Park District and Village. Please note that this is still subject to final review and negotiations. The resolution authorizes the Village Administrator and Village Attorney to make changes to the document that does not substantially change alter the Village's obligation. As the Village is the one who is authorized to receive these funds, there is a level of administration involved. The basic business terms indicates that the $400,000 will be utilize for the construction of this project, the Park District is responsible for all engineering costs and all construction costs that exceed $400,000.
