There are several on-going and proposed projects that will impact the Randall Road Improvements Study, including:

Rakow Road Phase I Widening Study — The Rakow Road Phase I Widening Study was initiated by McHenry County in October 2005. The limits of the study are Ackman Road on the west and Illinois Route 31 on the east. The study includes the widening of Rakow Road from two lanes to four lanes with a median, the realignment of Rakow Road between McHenry Ave and Pyott Road to flatten the existing large curve, and intersection improvements. The project schedule for the Rakow Road Phase I Widening Study targets Phase I engineering completion by the end of 2007, Phase II engineering in 2008, and construction along Rakow Road to be initiated in 2009. Additional information on this project can be found on the internet at www.co.mchenry.il.us/Common/CountyDpt/Highway/RakowRoad.asp.

Algonquin Road Construction Project — Construction along Algonquin Road was recently initiated by McHenry County on April 27, 2007. The project includes the reconstruction and widening along a 4.8 mile section of Algonquin Road from IL Route 47 to Randall Road. The roadway will be widened to include two travel lanes in each direction and new turn lanes at the key intersections. This project is estimated for completion by the Fall of 2008. Additional information on this project can be found on the internet at www.algonquinroad.info.

Other Development — There are several other developments along the Randall Road study corridor that may influence traffic conditions within the study area. These developments are either under construction or proposed for development and are located along the Randall Road corridor as follows:

• Southeast quadrant of Randall Road and County Line Road Intersection (Algonquin Galleria shopping center currently under construction).
• Southwest quadrant of Randall Road and Harnish Drive Intersection (land proposed for commercial development).
• Northwest quadrant of Randall Road and Miller Road Intersection (land proposed for commercial development).
• Northwest corner of frontage road and Angela Lane Intersection (Randall North Business Center currently under construction).
• Northeast and Southeast quadrants of Randall Road and Ackman Road Intersection (CVS currently under construction and adjacent land is for sale as residential/commercial development potential).
