| 1 | | Temporary easement to the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) at Harts Road and the North Branch of the Chicago River | Easement Request | EASEMENT REQUEST
Department: Planning and Development
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (“the Preserves”) to grant a temporary easement to the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) at Harts Road and the North Branch of the Chicago River for 0.02 acre or 741 square feet.
Reason: IDOT requests a temporary construction easement to access the North Branch of the Chicago River along the north side of Harts Road for a slope stabilization project. The slope stabilization is necessary to ensure the continued operation and safety of the Harts Road Bridge over the river. This remediation will stabilize the river bank and prevent further loss of soil, trees, and vegetation. The slope stabilization will decrease the sediment load in the river, thus reducing surface water degradation and stream siltation.
Slope stabilization utilizing a 12-inch tall stone slope mattress over 36-inch tall gabions is to be placed along the banks of the North Branch Chicago River. A synthetic geofilter fabric will be placed on the ground below t | approve | Pass |
