To commensurately replace off - street parking facilities removed by the Dempster Street Roadway Improvements, The Village desires to improve Dempster Street from Ferris Avenue to Central Avenue to improve safety and traffic efficiency, while also addressing the economic vitality of businesses within this commercial corridor. In 2001, the Village completed a Master Plan for this corridor which provided the framework to address deficiencies along this roadway. One of the main deficiencies identified in the plan is the roadway lacks a continuous center turn lane, which results in difficult turning movements and dangerous lane blockages. The approved construction plans for the Dempster Street Corridor Improvement Project include the addition of a continuous center turn lane, which will require the replacement of on- street parking with comparable off - street parking. To date, the Village has constructed three off - street parking facilities and the State, through separate agreements will reimburse the Village for costs associated with these facilities. The State of Illinois is willing to reimburse the Village for costs associated with the acquisition and construction of additional off - street parking lots up to the amount of $2,335,000. This resolution will authorize the Village to enter into an agreement with the State for these reimbursements. Public Works, Engineering Division There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with approving this Agreement. The Village will need to allocate funds in the future as land acquisition, building demolition or parking lot construction contracts are approved either through Budget Transfers or in the Annual Budget. The Village will be reimbursed by the State of Illinois for 100% of eligible costs. N/A The Administrative Department, Community Planning and Economic Development, and Public Works Department, Engineering Division, as part of their normal work activities, will perform the management and implementation of the project. Approval as presented. N/A The Illinois Department of Transportation requires the Agreement to be approved and executed by June 7, 2010, in order for this project to be funded in the State Fiscal Year 2010.
