That's what I figured about the 230, just wanted to spitball an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will check it out next month. I like this a lot. Can vehicles left turn onto Mannheim from Irving Park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This proposal to reroute 332 would bypass the stop at Mannheim/Montrose, which would result in a longer and more dangerous walk for the workers who use that stop. Potential passengers along 25th would at least have a sidewalk to get to the stop at Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never in this area, so sidewalks were my main concern cause I figured there probably wouldn't be any. However, if the 330 would now be serving Rosemont, would it be necessary to have the 332 continue that way?. Forgot about the York Rd section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artthouwill Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Finally construction on the bridge on St Charles Rd just west of Rt 83 has begun. The bridge has had a weight restriction for the past 2 years, which forced Pace to reroute the 313 via Rt 83, Roosevelt and Meyers. This "temporary " reroute has eliminated access for workers trying to get to Walmart on Rt 83 since there is no place to stop along Rt 83. I have heard that area residents along Villa and Washington wanted the route gone because they didn't want these workers walking through their neighborhood. So the question will be what happens when the construction is done? Will the bridge maintain a weight restriction? If not, will Pace reinstate the old routing through Villa Park? Will the residents and the village object to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no where to really stop, there isn't a full-size shoulder or sidewalk or grass or anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because the restriction was caused by deterioration of the bridge, and a new bridge that can’t handle more weight would go against construction standards. It is possible the road may maintain a weight limit if Villa Park wishes to restrict through truck traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Villa Park retain the weight limit once construction is completed? This restriction has eliminated thru truck traffic (and Pace buses but not school buses) to this point, but it has taken two years from the time Villa Park imposed the restrictions to commencement of construction.

You made a typo in here, it should be Villa, not Billa. I'm sorry for not responding earlier, but I just noticed that. The second time, Villa is spelled correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t find the answer the first time, but I looked again and came across a quote attributed to the Elmhurst City Manager in 2017: “It will still have the weight restrictions until the full bridge is replaced, but it’s good news in terms of traffic flow through Elmhurst and Villa Park.” (Emphasis added) However, I’m not sure the definitive answer publicly exists yet.
