Who is the Community Advisory Group (CAG) for the Illinois Route 159 project and what do they do?
The CAG formed for the Illinois Route 159 project includes representatives from business focused groups, residents, churches, the City, and other civic organizations with an interest in the Illinois Route 159 project. The CAG meets during the project development process to help the Project Study Team by providing input on the issues that are important to the community and assisting the Project Study Team in developing alternatives. As of February 1, 2007, the Illinois Route 159 CAG had met (5) times. The CAG developed a problem statement to define the transportation problem on Illinois Route 159 in Collinsville, identified important features within the community to be preserved, recommended roadway sections for the Project Study Team to use to develop alternatives, and provided input on the alternatives. The CAG will continue to assist the Project Study Team with the development of alternatives to be presented to the public.
