153rd Street & Ravinia Avenue Intersection Improvements
The intersection at 153rd Street and Ravinia Avenue in Orland Park was experiencing a high level of accidents due to distracted drivers stopping at a temporary traffic signal. We provided Phase I services to evaluate two alternatives: a traditional traffic signal with lengthened storage lengths to accommodate operational demand vs. a single lane roundabout. Based on our recommendations, the Village chose the roundabout since we found it would reduce the number of intersection conflict points while also excelling during off-peak traffic periods. In addition, we led the federal funding application process and successfully obtained STP-L funding for the Phase II design and Phase III construction.
