Limits: The intersection of IL 59 and Grand Avenue in the Village of Fox Lake
 
Description:  Intersection reconstruction at IL 59 and Grand Avenue that realigns Washington Avenue to meet IL 59 south of Grand Avenue which includes a new intersection connecting to Grant Community High School. IL 59-Grand will have left turn lanes on three legs and a southbound right turn lane. Left-turn lanes will be on all legs at IL 59-Washington with a southbound right-turn lane into the high school. The project includes sidewalks and multi-use paths. 

Project Background: The intersection has several existing deficiencies which include traffic congestion and the lack of left-turn lanes on IL 59 which lead to difficulty maneuvering the intersection. The roads are both on a skew, making it difficult to manage the intersection. Traffic at this intersection is a combination of local, regional and recreational traffic. Adjacent businesses, schools and public facilities, such as the Police, Fire and the Public Works Department all utilize this intersection on a daily basis. An external dedicated website was developed during the planning phases of the project, visit www.IL59andGrand.com to view background information and public meeting materials.
