INTRODUCTION
PROJECT OVERVIEW This document is a sub area plan that will supplement the Hoffman Estates Comprehensive Plan. It provides solutions for land-use, development and connectivity surrounding the Barrington Road interchange and the Pace Barrington Road station. The redesigned Barrington Road Interchange on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) provided new travel options within Hoffman Estates. Completed in 2018, the interchange provides full east and west-bound access to I-90 from Barrington Road. Designed in conjunction with the interchange, the Barrington Road station was the first in-line bus transit station in Illinois, providing faster, more convenient commutes along I-90. The station includes a pedestrian overpass over I-90 linking the north and south bus terminals that are served by a Park-n-Ride lot to
the north, Kiss-n-Ride drop off facility to the south, and extensive multi-purpose paths connecting the adjacent area. The expanded transportation system has increased the scope of transportation options and fosters growth possibilities. Hoffman Estates is looking to build upon these opportunities and encourage more sustainable and economically productive development projects that will work synergistically with key existing land uses, as well as take advantage of connectivity with the new transportation assets. In order to ensure the study area develops in a productive, desirable, and organized manner, this plan offers short and long-term plan recommendations and a guide on how to implement and achieve the desired outcome.
