ILDOT - 087 - Widen and Resurface Theodore Street LOCATION OF PROJECT The project is located within the City of Joliet in Will County, Illinois. The project limits are about 280' west of Staghorn Drive to about 1782' east of Drauden Road up to the Wesmere Parkway Intersection on Theodore Street, a length of approximately 2354' (0.56 miles). This project is located in Sections 4 and 5 of Township 35 North, Range 9 East, and Sections 32 and 33 of Township 36 North, Range 9 East in the City of Joliet in Will County. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Theodore Street is a four-lane east-west urban roadway classified as a major collector west of IL Route 59. The City of Joliet maintains and has jurisdiction of Theodore Street within the project limits. The lane widths in each direction vary from 10 to 11.5 feet. There are currently no dedicated turn lanes within the project limits, except where it widens out at River Road. There is curb and gutter on the north and south sides of Theodore Street throughout the project limits. Five-foot-wide sidewalks exist along both sides of Theodore Street within the project limits. The existing right-of-way varies from 80 - 90 feet wide, with sections never being formally dedicated. Theodore Street will be widened 5.5' on both sides of the roadway to provide a flush, painted median and left-turn lanes at the side streets. The widened and resurfaced roadway will provide two 11-foot-wide travel lanes in each direction and an 11-foot wide flush, painted median (totaling 55 feet E-E). The existing horizontal alignment of the roadway will be maintained with the proposed symmetrical widening. The sidewalk along the north side of Theodore Street will be relocated to 3 feet behind the proposed back-of-curb throughout the majority of the corridor. The 5-foot-wide sidewalk will be shifted to allow for the relocation of utilities and street lighting impacted by the roadway widening. Parkway slopes vary throughout the project limits primarily due to the location of existing and proposed sidewalks. Additional work includes pavement patching, earthwork, intersection improvements including a new traffic signal at Drauden Road, storm sewer installation, curb and gutter removal and replacement, driveway reconstruction, pavement marking, and all other work necessary to complete the improvements as shown in the plans and as described herein.
