The Village of Oak Park, in partnership with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), is undertaking a renewed study funded by federal earmarks to examine existing conditions and future possibilities for the I-290 bridge crossings within the Village limits. Since the 2005 Cap the Ike Feasibility Study, the Village has been working with IDOT to plan for the reconstruction of I-290. This latest study builds from this collaboration effort and is focused on identifying how these crossings can be improved to benefit the Oak Park community.
On April 7, the Village of Oak Park and its consultant team invite community members to take part in a public information meeting in an open house format from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Rubinstein Community Room at the Oak Park Conservatory, 615 Garfield St. This initial meeting serves as an opportunity to introduce the project and solicit resident feedback to understand the important issues that will help develop and refine the improvement opportunities at these bridges.
For anyone unable to attend, public comments will be collected on this page through May 5, 2026.
