(Chicago, IL) -- Plans for the controversial toll road linking Illinois and Indiana have survived the opposition of the Chicago area's main planning board. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning today (Tues) could muster only ten votes of the 12 it needed among its 15 board members to kill the public-private Illiana project. The road is a point of contention between Mayor Emanuel, who opposes the idea, and Governor Quinn, who sees it as a potential economic engine. {Metro News}
