The
Illinois Department of Transportation has cancelled the protected
corridor for the Prairie Parkway, an expressway proposed to connect
Interstate 80 to Interstate 88, according to Citizens Against the
Sprawlway (CATS), the grassroots organization formed in 2001 to oppose
the project.
IDOT
informed the organization earlier this month that it had formally
abolished the corridor protection with filings in Kendall, Kane, and
Grundy counties on March 5.
Property owners in the 500-foot wide corridor were previously
restricted from making improvements to their property without state
review and approval.
