Evanston Multi-Modal Master Transportation Plan
Description
The general scope of the project was to develop mode specific plans (transit, pedestrian, and auto) to compliment and integrate with the existing Evanston Bike Plan. The goal was to foster an integrated and coordinated transportation system throughout Evanston. The RTA participated in the transit component of this plan.
Current Activities
in late 2013 the City received CMAQ approval for a protected bike lane along Dodge Avenue from Church Street to Howard Street. This project will begin in 2014 and will improve access and safety for bicyclists throughout the downtown TOD area. For more information please visit http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/mobility/strategic-investment/cmaq. Additionally, the City was selected as part of the 2015 RTA Community Planning Program to explore ways to create a TOD Parking Policy throughout the City. The completed policy is expected to be adopted by the City Council in fall of 2016.
In fall of 2015, the City was awarded CMAQ funding to construct covered bicycle parking at the Main Street CTA and Metra stations through the RTA's Access to Transit Improvement Program.
