Illinois Department of Transportation (405 words)
The Eastern Corridor had the benefit of being the shortest and closest to the high population areas; however, it also had the most significant impacts to existing homes and planned development.
The Western Corridor had the fewest direct home impacts; however, due to its indirect path, it was the longest of the three corridors and the farthest from the populated areas.
Suggestions to modify the central corridor proposal by minimizing diagonal crossing to farm land and moving the path to more closely follow property lines and utility corridors were found to have merit.
