Comprehensive Plan - Oswego Illinois

It is also recommended that Collins Road be connected
with 119th Street/Scotch Road to create a
continuous connection to Route 30. Collins Road
ing
Oswego to the west and is the basis of the
COLLECTORS
5th Street:
Currently, 5th Street intersects U.S. 30 and
continues south through existing developments
towards Route 34. It follows along the eastern
edge of Farmington Lakes subdivision and terminates
at the southeastern
edge of the development’s
boundary line. It is planned
to continue southeast to
intersect Route 34.
Between Route 34 and
Wolf Crossing Road, 5th
Street has been planned
and implemented to connect
Steeplechase subdi-
development, and Churchill
Club.
South of Wolf Crossing
Road, it is proposed that
5th Street continue south to intersect with Woolley/Collins
Roads. The extension and improvements
for 5th Street will provide additional routes
from local roads to minor arterial roads, further
enhancing the Village’s grid.
Roth Road:
Roth Road currently runs north/south and intersects
Wolf Crossing Road and Woolley Road. It
is proposed that Roth continue south to intersect
Collins Road.
In addition, it is proposed that Roth Road continue
north, past the Wolf Crossing Road intersection
and connect with Ogden Falls Boulevard.
This will create a continuous north/south route
and provide travelers alternate options throughout
Planning Area 3.
Reservation Road:
Reservation Road currently begins at the intersection
of Minkler Road at the edge of Planning
Area 5. As the roadway approaches the eastern
edge of the planning area, the road makes a
sharp turn to the north that awkwardly intersects
Grove Road. It is recommended that Reservation
Road continue eastward and make a ninety
degree intersection with Grove Road.

As proposed, this section of Route 71 has
increased lanes, traversable medians, and improved
grading for safety. It is also recommended
