The purpose of the improvement was to expand the transit center to provide for an increase in public transportation demands resulting from the inauguration of express PACE service associated with the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway reconstruction.
The transit center improvements included hot-mix asphalt pavement patching, median removal and replacement, curb and gutter repair, bus shelters, lighting, ADA sidewalk ramps, signage, drainage improvements as needed, pavement marking, restriping crosswalks, landscaping, erosion control, traffic control and protection, engineering, and other necessary highway appurtenances. During construction, a traffic maintenance and staging plan was implemented to ensure proper bus access (turning and staging), and to ensure that pedestrian access was maintained through the terminal.
d’Escoto, Inc. provided civil engineering design services for the Rosemont Transit Center improvements. The staff performed a site investigation to determine the extent and need for various drainage improvements including the possible reuse of the existing structures. Additionally, d’Escoto, Inc. staff performed the following:
• Developed a storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) to control erosion and sediment during the construction processes.
• Performed a drainage study, while coordinating with MWRDGC, due to a shift in drainage patterns.
• Utilized MicroStation and Geopak to develop construction plans for proposed pavement and sidewalk improvements to meet ADA regulations.
