The Illinois Tollway Authority voted on its $4 billion plan to reconstruct and potentially widen I-294 on 4/27/17.  The vote unanimously passed. The vote comes just four days after the plan was introduced and the public was given an opportunity to weigh in on the project.  The vote also comes before we can even fully understand the size and scope of the plan and its impact on our community. 

On 4/26/17, Hinsdale Village President Tom Cauley sent a letter to Illinois Tollway Authority Board President Bob Schillerstrom (click here to view the letter) asking him to delay the vote until a time when the full plan, and specific details justifying the need for the project, can be given a more thorough and transparent review by the public.
