Residents Invited to Attend Public Information Meetings about Proposed Randall Road Multimodal Improvements

The Kane County Division of Transportation (KDOT) invites travelers and residents of Elgin, Elgin Township, Dundee Township, Sleepy Hollow, West Dundee, Carpentersville and Algonquin to attend one of two public meetings in February 2025 regarding proposed multimodal improvements along Randall Road. Randall Road is an important County roadway that serves between 35,000 and 50,000 vehicles daily.

The corridor is home to a variety of busy commercial centers, recreational facilities and residential areas. To create a more accessible roadway for bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders alike, KDOT is conducting a Phase I preliminary engineering and environmental study on an approximately nine-mile stretch of Randall Road. This study will develop and review alternatives for the construction of new sidewalks, shared-use paths and intersection signal upgrades.

Following two public information meetings held in September 2023 and subsequent rounds of stakeholder engagement in 2024, KDOT is now seeking public input on the proposed Randall Road multimodal improvements. The proposed improvements are only for the following areas, which are outside the limits of other active engineering studies:

• College Green Drive to South Street (Elgin)

• Highland Avenue to Big Timber Road (Elgin)

• Point Boulevard to Northwest Parkway (Elgin)

• Recreation Drive (West Dundee) to Longmeadow Parkway (Algonquin)

• Commons Drive to County Line Road (Algonquin)

For residents’ convenience, one meeting will be held in each of the two study corridors: south and north. During both meetings, the project team will share the identical information about the study in an open house format, gather public input and review the next steps. Meeting dates and locations are as follows:

• South meeting: Tuesday, February 4 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Elgin Community College Building E (1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin, IL 60123)

• North meeting: Thursday, February 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Algonquin Village Hall (2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin, IL 60102)

Digital copies of meeting materials will be available starting Monday, February 3 on the study website at www.randallroadmultimodal.org.

Public comments and questions can also be submitted both before and after the meeting until Friday, February 28, by contacting Jordan Rogalski, Randall Road Multimodal Improvements Outreach Liaison at jrogalski@metrostratgroup.com or 630-534-6400 ext. 104.

Persons that require special accommodations should submit requests to Jordan Rogalski, Randall Road Multimodal Improvements Outreach Liaison, at 630-534-6400 ext. 104 or at jrogalski@metrostratgroup.com for further assistance by Friday, January 31.

Spanish interpretation will be made available upon resident request.
