Fix Route 120 in Place

  • Waste Billions in Tax Dollars: Require massive state and local expenditures with decades of delayed construction timelines.
  • Induce Traffic & Sprawl: New bypasses historically generate more traffic (“induced demand”) and promote commercial sprawl at the expense of existing local business corridors.

    • The Solution: Fix Route 120 in Place

    We advocate for upgrading Route 120 within its existing footprint. By focusing investments on real, immediate bottlenecks, Lake County can achieve faster congestion relief at a fraction of the cost.

    • Targeted Intersection Upgrades: Re-engineer high-collision intersections, including Route 120 and Route 83 in Grayslake, and Route 120 & Fox Lake Road in Volo.
    • Railroad Grade Separations: Construct a CNRR underpass to eliminate train-related traffic gridlock.
    • Multi-Modal Integration: Add safe bicycle, pedestrian, and bus-transit infrastructure along the expanded corridor.
