Dear Dan,
The United City of Yorkville's Integrated Transportation Plan, adopted in 2009,indicates the
proposed conceptual locations of trail along Route 71. Per your request, the City has evaluated
the locations of trail and sidewalk and attached a map for your reference. Yorkville is requesting
that IDOT acquire the right-of-way for future 10' wide detached shared-use trail and 5' wide
detached sidewalk as part of the project scope.
The Integrated Transportation Plan shared-use trails that continue outside the Yorkville corporate
limits are shown on the plan to indicate the connection to Forest Preserves, County
developments, and our neighboring Oswego community. The City supports the request of
Kendall County and the Kendall County Forest Preserve to acquire the right-of-way for future
trail and sidewalk on all parcels to the project limits for fixture trail.
In addition,Yorkville is requesting that ]DOT evaluate the possibility and cost feasibility of a
trail underpass or overpass at Route 71 at the future ComED trail intersection. We have a lease
agreement in place ComED to locate our trail on their property, as well as a letter from [DOT
stating that we are allowed to cross the trail at grade. Pending legislation could require motorists
to come to a complete stop for pedestrians. The width of the cross-section could be a safety issue
for pedestrians, and the requirement to stop in a 55mph zone could be a safety issue for
motorists. A feasibility study, safety evaluation, and further discussion with Staff, the Yorkville
Police Department, and the City Council on the incorporation of an overpass or underpass is
necessary to determine the final elevation of Route 71,
West of Route 47, Yorkville has secured a trail easement across the property 05-05-400-010
between the Harris Forest Preserve and the Shell station. This property had defaulted several
years ago, and due to the recent downturn in development, the City supports the project
beginning at Harris Forest Preserve and continuing on the south side of Route 71 to the Route 47
intersection. At that intersection,the trail should cross north across 71,then east across 47 to
continue on the north side of Route 71 to Orchard Road. The only other location of trail on the
south side of Route 71 is to connect the Fields of Farm Colony HOA limestone trail to the
signalized intersection of Van Emmon Road for a safe pedestrian crossing. Sidewalk shall be
located in any area where trail is not specified.
It is preliminary to assume that Yorkville can determine what portions of trail we can fund and
maintain.Yorkville can commit to working with Kendall County,the Forest Preserve District,
and IDOT as this project progresses to address funding availability and continued maintenance
once]DOT completes the preliminary engineering and can provide Yorkville with an Engineer's
Estimate of Probable Cost.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions at 630-553-4350 or

Thank you,
