Bill Summary
Amends the Department of Transportation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that if the Department of Transportation is conducting a bridge restoration project and the municipality in which the bridge is located wants to engage in a beautification project of the bridge, then the Department shall work with the municipality to aid in the beautification of the bridge. Provides that the municipality shall use its own funds to invest in the beautification of the bridge.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Transportation Law in Illinois to establish a collaborative approach for bridge restoration and beautification projects. Specifically, if the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is conducting a bridge restoration project in a municipality, the department will be required to work cooperatively with that municipality if the local government wants to undertake additional beautification efforts for the bridge. Importantly, while IDOT will aid the municipality in these beautification plans, the municipality must use its own funds to finance the aesthetic improvements. This provision gives local governments more agency in enhancing infrastructure projects within their boundaries by creating a framework for partnership with the state transportation department, while ensuring that the additional aesthetic upgrades do not become a financial burden on the state.
