rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> the roadway, traffic signals, and drainage system. The Department is currently working<br />
with the Lake County Division <strong>of</strong> Transportation and IDOT to add the route to the Federal Aid Urban<br />
(FAU) system. Adding the route to the FAU system will open the <strong>Village</strong> to the possibility <strong>of</strong> federal<br />
funding for construction. The <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deerfield</strong> will be responsible to fund the Phase I and Phase II<br />
Engineering Services. Construction is currently scheduled for 2013.<br />
Bikeway (Sidewalk) Improvements / South Side <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deerfield</strong> Road (Rosemary Terrace to Carlisle<br />
Avenue) – The scope <strong>of</strong> this project will include reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the existing sidewalk in an effort to<br />
provide safer passage for pedestrians. The design will provide a four-foot buffer zone between vehicular<br />
and pedestrian traffic. Additional Federal funding has been secured to cover 80% <strong>of</strong> the cost <strong>of</strong> right-<strong>of</strong>way<br />
acquisition documentation and negotiation. Construction is expected to take place in 2013 along<br />
with the <strong>Deerfield</strong> Road reconstruction project.<br />
Bikeway (Sidewalk) Improvements / North Side <strong>of</strong> Lake Cook Road (Pine Street to Wilmot Road) –<br />
Cook County Highway Department (CCHD) has agreed to share– 50% CCHD/50% <strong>Village</strong>– in the cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> the installation <strong>of</strong> a new sidewalk as part <strong>of</strong> their Lake Cook Road construction contract, in 2011.<br />

<strong>Deerfield</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Public Works and Engineering will be applying for an IDOT highway<br />
construction permit for roadway improvements and traffic signal modernization along the Waukegan<br />
Road frontage <strong>of</strong> the Deerbrook Mall. All costs associated with construction and construction engineering<br />
will be the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the developer as outlined in the Development Agreement.<br />
<strong>Deerfield</strong> Road Pedestrian Underpass – The project involves the installation <strong>of</strong> a pedestrian underpass<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Metra tracks, on the south side <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deerfield</strong> Road, behind the railroad bridge abutment. This project<br />
is substantially funded through outside grants. In October <strong>of</strong> 2010 the <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deerfield</strong>, under<br />
direction <strong>of</strong> the Illinois Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation, awarded the construction contract to Herlihy Mid-<br />
Continent Company in the amount <strong>of</strong> $2,406,000. Utility relocation will begin in late 2010, and<br />
construction <strong>of</strong> the underpass tunnel will follow. The work is expected to be complete in the spring <strong>of</strong><br />
2011.<br />
