Following up from the confusing voicemail I left you this morning (I apologize).

I’d like your assistance with coordinating and participating in a meeting with CSL to discuss IL 50, IL

50 and Armor Road intersection, etc.

Looking at mine and Kevin Marchek’s (Regional Engineer) calendars for possible dates:

July 31

August 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 or 23

In order to fit Kevin’s drive from Dixon to Ottawa to Bourbonnais, I was thinking a 10 AM time frame.

Please let me know what (if any dates) work for you and CSL.

Thank you,

Hi Wayne

Thank you for making time next Wednesday at 2p to meet at your office. I have attached a

few slides CSL has make available.

I also attached one of CSL’s planning exhibits I marked for reference. Note, where is says

“Christine Drive” is actually a private access to Lowes with an ingress/egress easement to

Christine Drive. There is some discussion of making that drive a public street.

The proposed multi-use path is not shown on the plan. It will likely be proposed to be 10

feet wide, located on the west side of Route 50 from Armour Road to Mulligan Drive, and

be placed on additional right-of-way.

If you have a minute, please take a look and see if you can find some preliminary

engineering drawings for the improvement of Route 50/Armour Road intersection. They

were presented by IDOT for discussion (10 years + ish ago?)

See you next week,

Mike Gingerich, Ph.D., P.E.

Wayne,

I believe you and Jessica Bartels were introduced at the Governor’s meeting at CSL a few

weeks ago.

Jessica is my prime contact with CSL for the Route 50 access work and other infrastructure

projects at CSL. I believe she will be your primary contact for coordinating the upcoming

meeting at the CSL facility.

Wayne’s initial invitee list includes our IDOT Regional Engineer Kevin Marchek, the

Kankakee County board chairman Andy Wheeler, the Kankakee County highway engineer

Mark Rogers, Mayor Paul Schore (Bourbonnais), Mayor Bruce Adams (Bradley) and me. I

suggested Mayor Tim Nugent (Manteno, K3 Economic Alliance) might be a good addition.

Wayne is working towards an August 23rd meeting at 10 a.m. I think it would be good to

initially meet on the CSL site in order to put eyes on the property and adjacent roadways. If

weather allows, it might be interesting to park at the CSL South, south lot, and walk from

there out the existing access and then along Route 50 to the Armour Road intersection. If

we have a hard time finding a suitable place to sit down, I am sure Tim Nugent would be

glad to host the meeting at the K3 Economic Alliance board room.

Hi Wayne

I have attached a PDF copy of the traffic impact study to be submitted today. How many

printed copies are desired?

Please note two changes that shall be made to the TIS:

1. The “CSL West” access described in the study is to be closed.

2. The “VISITOR ACCESS” described in the study is to be closed.

Please also note traffic signals are recommended at CSL’s

Do I need to make any particular request for review, approval, or permit in my cover letter?

Would it be appropriate to aske for a letter or statement of feasibility for the “Employee

Access” and “Truck Access” described in the study?

Would it be more beneficial to hand deliver the report and have a short meeting or to meet

after your team has had time to do a read-through?

Thank you for your help.

Subject: [External] CSL Behring - Expansion - A few of your questions

Hi Wayne – Below are answers to your questions.

• dates on when ground is breaking for the next phases

An official ground breaking is expected as soon as IDOT indicates the proposed main

access to Route 50 is feasible. A soft ground breaking is expected in September to

start construction of the Ring Road and Parking facilities.

The build out of top 4 floors of Building 33 is expected to start Fall 2018.

• number of temp employees (contractors)

CSL expects the number of construction contractors to be vary from 200 and 800 at

any given time during the expansion. Some 200 construction contractors are

expected to be on site this Summer and Fall to support the Building 33 build-out and

CSL South Site Improvements. Additional contractors are expected this Fall or Spring

2019 when work commences on Building 41 and then again when work on the SPINE

and Route 50 access improvements commence.

• number of CSL employees when completed

The number of employees CSL expects when the work is completed depends on the

final design of each product manufacturing facility and process. CSL currently has

over 1600 employees. That number is increasing.

shift work? Approx.. start-quit times

The typical shifts are as follows:

First 0700 to 1505

2nd 1500 to 2305

3rd 2300 to 0705

Salaried employees arrive between 0700 and 0800 and leave around 1630 and 1730.

• entrance locations (vehicle and pedestrian)

o it was mentioned a cross walk across IL 50 for lunch breaks?

CSL is proposing 3 vehicle entrance locations.

Continue to use the existing Armour Road access. CSL plans to extend

pedestrian access from this location to Route 50 on the south side of

Armour Road. CSL is requesting pedestrian crossings be included in any

IDOT improvement to the Armour/ Route 50 intersection. It is a high

priority visiting CSL employees and recruits be able to walk from lodging

facilities to CSL and other local amenities.

Construct a new main employee and visitor access on Route 50 opposite

Lowe’s controlled access. CSL plans for this intersection include controlled

pedestrian crossings.

Construct a new truck access on Route 50 at the same location as the

temporary construction access recently approved. No pedestrian entrance

is expected at this location.

o Temporary vs permanent

The only temporary access proposed is the temporary construction access

to Route 50 that was recently approved. However, CSL is requesting a

permanent access at this same location (new truck access).

Closures.

CSL plans to close the current access on Armour Road nearest to the rail

road bridge (not the currently employee access). They would like to

discuss keeping the access in a condition suitable for emergency egress.

CSL plans to close the former Bunge facility main access and former Bunge

administrative access when the proposed, new CSL South main access and

truck access are constructed.

There is some desire to have the option to re-open the former Bunge

administrative access in the future if the building use changes to a

welcome center or “off-site” meeting point. Neither of these uses are

planned at this time.

Please let me know if you have further questions. I am available to meet with you M

(13),Th(16) and F(17) next week and M(20) and Tu(21) the following week. We can meet here

at our office in Bradley if being close to the site would be beneficial or I am able to come to

Hi Wayne – Can you help me with the following?

a. Maintenance of mutli-use path

b. Power supply?

c. Maintaining signals?

2. A sample of the format IDOT will use to accept ownership of additional right-of-way.

3. Will CSL need to provide a bond for the intersection improvements? If so, can we get

that in motion or at least get an example in front of them?

It took CSL a long time to be able to process the bond for the temporary access. I

would like them to better understand the process.

Is there anything else other than getting the final plans to you that I can be working on or

we can be getting in front of the county or CSL?

One topic I would like to discuss at our meeting Thursday if possible is drainage.

Subject: [External] Please HELP!

Hi Kristin,

Please read below:

CSL Behring is in the early phases of a 1.8 million-square-foot expansion which will easily require an

investment far north of $1 billion.

Although employment projections have not been publicized yet, there is speculation it could come

close to doubling the existing 1,600-member workforce.

The Australian-based pharmaceutical company has not asked for a penny of financial assistance or

tax breaks from any governmental body.

It has made one seemingly simple request. This request was made 16 months ago, and as of this

week, it still has not been satisfied.

CSL wants a traffic light put at its pending new entrance at the intersection at the Lowe’s Hardware

store. The company has told the Illinois Department of Transportation it will pay for the stoplight.

Incredibly, a state thirsting for manufacturing development has yet to OK what seems to be a simple

request. […]

Abell said CSL is making the largest investment anywhere in the state and perhaps beyond and yet,

their request cannot be resolved.

“We can’t get a three-way light to become a four-way light.” […]

Kankakee County Board Chairman Andy Wheeler said he’s been calling IDOT in Springfield, local

state political leaders and anyone else he can think of to get the situation rectified.

Thanks,

Tammy Bristow

Hi Wayne and Richard

Thank you for taking time to assemble at meeting at your office. In addition to the pending

application by CSL for two new accesses and the removal of one access to IL Route 50, we

discussed requesting a temporary access and requesting a letter of feasibility.

I did not find a specific form for requesting a temporary access and found a few forms that

might fit the request. Does District 3 have a preferred form for requesting a temporary

access?

I have not in the past requested a letter of feasibility for highway access. Do you have a

preferred format or example for that request.

Hi Wayne

Thank you and your team for your time and graciousness yesterday.

I was asked if the RR bridge west of CSL on Armour Road is going to be closed or remain

open to traffic during the rebuild. I would guess it would remain open but wanted to double

check.

Sorry, I am sure there is somebody else I could ask but I’m drawing a blank.

We both are hard people to get in contact with so I will try to put thoughts into type so please do

I want this meeting to be a productive meeting.

I’d like to be able to get real dates and real numbers to take to Springfield and develop a rough plan

before the State of Illinois legislatures are contacted or anyone contacts the Secretary.

I am trying to secure the additional funding for upgrading the IL 50 – Armour Road intersection.

And trying to determine to what level/how extensive the upgrade needs to be based on the

proposed development and timeframe.

We would like to know:

dates on when ground is breaking for the next phases

number of temp employees (contractors)

number of CSL employees when completed

shift work? Approx.. start-quit times

entrance locations (vehicle and pedestrian)

it was mentioned a cross walk across IL 50 for lunch breaks?

Temporary vs permanent

As I think of more, I will let you know.

3. Will CSL need to provide a bond for the intersection improvements? If

so, can we get that in motion or at least get an example in front of them?

It took CSL a long time to be able to process the bond for the temporary

access. I would like them to better understand the process.

Is there anything else other than getting the final plans to you that I can be

working on or we can be getting in front of the county or CSL?

One topic I would like to discuss at our meeting Thursday if possible is

drainage. Particularly, what information and supporting calculations are

needed. Do you have a particular check list you would like us to use?

I will be asked to mention: (1) we will hand deliver the Traffic Study to District3s office on June 26. (2) CSLs desire to construct a multi-use path on the westside of Route 50. (3) CSL would like the state to take a look at their long rangeplan for the Route 50, Armour Road intersection.

I was hoping to get the state Departmentof Transportation's side on this matter. There could bereasons for the length of the process, such as thecompany not responding to your department's initialreview in a timely manner.

BRADLEY — As CSL Behring waits for approval for its trafficsignal along Illinois Route 50, a company official clued areaofficials as to what is coming to this area as a result.

Carmagedon. That’s the word CSL site project managerChris Abell used to describe the traffic congestion the areawill face.

“Carmagedon is coming. I don’t know what else to call it,”he said.

CSL Behring is in the early phases of a 1.8 million-square-foot expansion which will easily require an investment farnorth of $1 billion.

Although employment projections have not been publicizedyet, there is speculation it could come close to doubling theexisting 1,600-member workforce.

The Australian-based pharmaceutical company has notasked for a penny of financial assistance or tax breaks from

any governmental body.

It has made one seemingly simple request. This request wasmade 16 months ago, and as of this week, it still has notbeen satisfied.

CSL wants a traffic light put at its pending new entrance atthe intersection at the Lowe’s Hardware store. The companyhas told the Illinois Department of Transportation it will payfor the stoplight.

Incredibly, a state thirsting for manufacturing developmenthas yet to OK what seems to be a simple request.

At the first-ever RESearch Kankakee County forum heldThursday in the former Sears store in the Northfield Squaremall, Abell, head of CSL’s project management office, saidhis frustration grows with each passing week.

Abell said CSL is making the largest investment anywhere inthe state and perhaps beyond and yet, their request cannotbe resolved.

“We can’t get a three-way light to become a four-way light.”

He later added:

“This is community supported. It is noncontroversial. Howdoes this take so long?” he asked.

Abell said CSL leadership recently visited the site, and theyalso were questioned why the light was not already in place.

“This is embarrassing,” he said. He said if this were NewYork and almost any other state, and a company wasmaking an investment like this, it would only be a matter ofa couple weeks for this to be granted.

“Is it worth someone’s time to advocate for us?” he asked.

Kankakee County Board Chairman Andy Wheeler said he’sbeen calling IDOT in Springfield, local state political leadersand anyone else he can think of to get the situationrectified.

“This is unbelievable. This is the largest manufacturinginvestment in the state. All that’s needed is a permit. Thestate of Illinois needs to get up and do this. It’s frustrating,”he said. “I don’t get it. This is not that hard.”

At least it shouldn’t be.

The company is developing a second entrance/exit at theplant. The current entrance is near the intersection of Route50 and Armour Road. The intersection is the mostcongested in the metro area and becomes a trafficnightmare at many points during the day.

Wheeler also noted he is working to get the intersectionproject on the state’s project list.

The Kankakee Area Transportation Study Metropolitan

Planning Organization recently moved this intersection tothe top of their preferred project list, in large part to aid theexpanding manufacturing plant.

Hello,

My co-worker wrote a story last week about a request for a traffic light along Route 50 inKankakee County. His story follows. I was hoping to get the state Department ofTransportation's side on this matter. There could be reasons for the length of the process, suchas the company not responding to your department's initial review in a timely manner.

If you could let me know who I should contact, that would be great. My number is 815-802-5144.

Thanks,

David Giuliani

BRADLEY — As CSL Behring waits for approval for its traffic signal along Illinois Route 50, acompany official clued area officials as to what is coming to this area as a result.

Carmagedon. That’s the word CSL site project manager Chris Abell used to describe the trafficcongestion the area will face.

“Carmagedon is coming. I don’t know what else to call it,” he said.

CSL Behring is in the early phases of a 1.8 million-square-foot expansion which will easily requirean investment far north of $1 billion.

Although employment projections have not been publicized yet, there is speculation it could comeclose to doubling the existing 1,600-member workforce.

The Australian-based pharmaceutical company has not asked for a penny of financial assistance ortax breaks from any governmental body.

It has made one seemingly simple request. This request was made 16 months ago, and as of thisweek, it still has not been satisfied.

CSL wants a traffic light put at its pending new entrance at the intersection at the Lowe’s Hardwarestore. The company has told the Illinois Department of Transportation it will pay for the stoplight.

Incredibly, a state thirsting for manufacturing development has yet to OK what seems to be asimple request.

At the first-ever RESearch Kankakee County forum held Thursday in the former Sears store in theNorthfield Square mall, Abell, head of CSL’s project management office, said his frustration growswith each passing week.

“We can’t get a three-way light to become a four-way light.”

He later added:

“This is community supported. It is noncontroversial. How does this take so long?” he asked.

Abell said CSL leadership recently visited the site, and they also were questioned why the light wasnot already in place.

“This is embarrassing,” he said. He said if this were New York and almost any other state, and acompany was making an investment like this, it would only be a matter of a couple weeks for thisto be granted.

“Is it worth someone’s time to advocate for us?” he asked.

Kankakee County Board Chairman Andy Wheeler said he’s been calling IDOT in Springfield, localstate political leaders and anyone else he can think of to get the situation rectified.

“This is unbelievable. This is the largest manufacturing investment in the state. All that’s needed isa permit. The state of Illinois needs to get up and do this. It’s frustrating,” he said. “I don’t get it.This is not that hard.”

At least it shouldn’t be.

The company is developing a second entrance/exit at the plant. The current entrance is near theintersection of Route 50 and Armour Road. The intersection is the most congested in the metro areaand becomes a traffic nightmare at many points during the day.

Wheeler also noted he is working to get the intersection project on the state’s project list.
