Comprehensive Planning

With the potential to extend commuter rail service south from Aurora to Montgomery and Kendall County, the Village assigned the preparation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Plan and Park-and-Ride Location Study to a consultant team led by Teska Associates, Inc. In order to prepare Montgomery for different transit scenarios, Teska led a Steering Committee and engaged the public to evaluate the optimal location for a Park-and-Ride facility in the short-term and a commuter rail station in the long-term.

Funded by the Regional Technical Assistance Program (RTAP) administered by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), the plan included research of existing conditions, a market assessment, concept plans, a circulation and access plan, design guidelines, and implementation strategies. The strategies and concepts from the plan help prepare the Village to consider how it can enhance its transit opportunities and capitalize on transit oriented development opportunities within Downtown Montgomery.
