DESCRIPTION: In summary, the completion of the Rand/Central/Mount Prospect Road Intersection Improvements project represents a significant investment by the Village of Mount Prospect in improving the safety and usability of a major intersection along its economically and socially significant Rand Road corridor. The project was completed within the Village’s timeframe and under budget, while the improvements resulted in significant benefits to traffic in the area, including an almost 45% decrease in total delay in the study area and a 30% decrease in travel time during the evening rush hour.
