Village of barrington - evalution of non-motorized improvements on main street

The Village of Barrington received a $821,918 Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), with an award date of August 28, 2025 and ultimate completion date of August 26, 2035. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) serves as the prime awardee responsible for delivering preliminary engineering services to evaluate non-motorized improvements at the Main Street and Canadian National (CN) Railway crossing in Barrington, Illinois.

The primary deliverable under this award is a comprehensive evaluation of potential grade separation and other non-motorized transportation improvements at the Main Street/CN Railway crossing intersection. These preliminary engineering services will assess the feasibility, design requirements, and specifications for enhancing pedestrian and bicycle accessibility and safety at this critical crossing point. This project aligns with FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program priorities, which support planning, preliminary engineering, and multimodal transportation network development to improve transportation infrastructure across the nation.
