1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Background The IL 47 study area is located in McHenry County extending approximately 4.5 miles from US Route 14 to Charles Road (See Figure 1‐1 for Location Map). The proposed improvements are anticipated to address geometric modifications, through either widening/resurfacing or reconstruction, to accommodate existing and projected 2030 travel demands. Under existing conditions, sections of IL 47 carry as much as 15,600 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on the two lane roadway. The corridor is developed with a mix of residential, commercial, and agricultural uses. The study area traverses Woodstock, Illinois. This area is experiencing substantial growth with much of the agricultural area slated for residential or commercial development on the north end. Given the potential impacts that a proposed improvement could have, the project has been designated as a Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) project by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). CSS is a collaborative approach that involves all stakeholders to develop a facility that fits into its surroundings and preserve scenic, aesthetic, historic, and environmental resources while maintaining safety and mobility. A Stakeholder Involvement Plan (SIP) is critical to the success of CSS principles on a project. The SIP, by its very nature, is a work in progress throughout the life of the project, and thus, subject to revision anytime events warrant. 1 IL 47 Study (US 14 to Charles Road) Stakeholder Involvement Plan: Version 1
