title
Resolution reaffirming the Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) Boundary
action
ACTION REQUESTED: Approval
purpose
PURPOSE & ACTION: Following each decennial census, the Census Bureau designates Urbanized Area boundaries throughout the nation, which causes a review of the Metropolitan Planning Area for each MPO. For northeastern Illinois, there were no substantive changes to the Urbanized Area boundaries following the 2020 Census, therefore CMAP staff in consultation with IDOT staff have determined that the existing metropolitan boundary for this region is accurate and correct. Staff requests the MPO Policy Committee affirm and approve the existing boundary.
