How are local roadway impacts considered with new developments in neighboring communities?
Although most projects consider impacts on roadways near the development, regional impacts are difficult to evaluate and therefore are not typically considered. For example, a development in Wasco will increase traffic volumes on IL 64 (Main St.). No transportation consideration for improvements to the IL 64 bridge crossing the Fox River, however, is required.

Who makes the decisions for the transportation (street) system, land uses and development? Land use and development decisions are made by municipalities for areas within their boundaries or properties petitioning for annexation. Land use decisions for areas outside municipal boundaries are made by Kane County.
