The Illinois Tollway Board of Directors’ Strategic Planning Committee is considering a new Landscape Policy to address requests for removal and trimming of trees and vegetation on Tollway property along the 286-mile system of roadways in Northern Illinois.
The proposed Landscape Policy is available for review at http://www.illinoistollway.com. Public comments may be provided via email, U.S. mail through Feb. 1, 2013 or in person at the next Strategic Planning Committee meeting (2013 Board and Committee meeting schedule to be announced soon). All comments will be posted on the Tollway’s website.
The Illinois Tollway’s proposed Landscape Policy creates guidelines for municipalities and commercial entities along the Tollway system to request trimming or removal of trees on the Tollway’s property to clear obstructions blocking visibility or clearing of undesirable vegetation.
