As Arlington Heights, Waukegan and Naperville hope to lure the Chicago Bears to their towns, some wonder if that talk might reignite plans to extend the Illinois Route 53 expressway north to Belvidere Road in Lake County.
“This is the same issue that’s been going on for 30-plus years,” Didech said. “It’s overly expensive and is problematic, with enormous conservation and flood prevention concerns,” he added, referring to a project estimated to cost $2.5 billion in 2021.
“The Bears stadium is an ongoing conversation,” Dias said. “No decisions have been made. I’m going to focus on the recommendation of the task force.” Mundelein Mayor Steve Lentz, another member of the task force, wants IDOT to keep the land for now. He said the need for additional highway unforeseen now can occur in the future. The Route 53 corridor from Lake Cook to Belvidere roads should remain as is.Lentz said a stadium in Arlington Heights or Waukegan would add to already existing congestion. Before a new stadium is built in either community, significant research and preparation is necessary.
