Transfer of Land to the State of Illinois (23) The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is proposing major highway improvements for U.S. Route 45, a distance of 6.2 miles between the Village of Tolono and Curtis Road, in the Village of Savoy. IDOT seeks the acquisition of University-owned land which serves Willard Airport and the University's golf courses in conjunction with this project. This includes two parcels: a 0.078 acre parcel at the intersection of U.S. Route 45 and Monticello Road (compensation to be $683.00 plus actual reimbursement to replace fencing), and a 0.057 acre parcel of land and a 0.024 acre easement approximately one-quarter mile north of Airport Road (compensation to be $1,280.00). Total compensation for the acquisition of this land represents the amount paid to the adjoining landowners. It is supported by appraisal. The roadway improvement project will provide for a four lane divided-median highway, appropriate crossover and turn lanes, improved highway lighting and new traffic signals at the intersection of U.S. Route 45 and Willard Airport Road. These improvements will benefit the University. No University funds are required for the project. IDOT plans to let bids for this work in May 1995. Sufficient access to Willard Airport and the golf courses will be maintained at all times during the construction period. The chancellor at Urbana and the vice president for business and finance recommend adoption of the following resolution authorizing the transfer of the University land needed for the highway improvement project as outlined above. I concur. (The IDOT project will include the widening and improving of the Universityowned Willard Airport Road, a distance of approximately 440 feet west of the centerline of the existing right-of-way of U.S. Route 45 and will necessitate the relocation of farm fencing and the Willard Airport sign. IDOT will reimburse the University for costs associated with these relocations.) Resolution I.
