| 47 Plus Coalition. Our Goals: To encourage
development and improvement of a diverse transportation
network in Kane, Kendall, and Grundy counties by
expanding the capacity and efficiency of existing
highways and extending Metra rail service to the area. To focus on improving Illinois 47 as a major north-south artery between Interstate 80 and Interstate 88, supplemented by the Wikaduke Trail and the Eldamain Road corridor and connecting east-west routes. To encourage investment of scarce state and federal transportation dollars in the existing highway and transit networks instead of introducing new large scale and costly projects like the Prairie Parkway. To preserve and protect farmland and agricultural resources, environmental features, and the rural and small town communities which make up the fabric of life in the area.
