BACKGROUND:
In November of 2014, the 95th Street connection to Boughton Road opened to traffic. This new connection has resulted in increased traffic congestion at the intersection of 95th Street and Knoch Knolls Road. Traffic delays and increases in crashes indicate that a traffic signal is warranted at this location. Construction of this new traffic signal is included in the CY2018 Capital Improvement Program as CIP# TC218.

The Resolution and Intergovernmental Agreement are provided as Attachments 1 and 2, respectively. Naperville will be responsible for 100% of the design, installation, operation, and maintenance costs associated with this proposed traffic signal. Will County will retain the ultimate authority regarding programming of the traffic signal.
Staff did request that Will County consider participating in the installation cost of this traffic signal. Will County responded that they historically have not participated in the cost of traffic signals serving local streets and do not want to set a new precedent.
