Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 11-90-2.
The corporate authorities shall not grant the use of or the
right to lay tracks in any street of the municipality to any railroad or
street railway corporation except upon the petition of the owners of record
of the land representing more than one-half of the frontage of the street,
or so much thereof as is sought to be used for railroad or street railway
purposes. Whenever the street or part thereof sought to be used is more
than one mile in extent, no petition of landowners shall be valid unless
the petition shall be signed by the owners of record of the land
representing more than one-half of the frontage of each mile and of the
fraction of a mile, measuring from the initial point specified in the
petition, of the street or of the part thereof sought to be used for
railroad or street railway purposes. However, the corporate authorities,
without any petition of landowners, may grant the right to lay, maintain
and also to operate railroad or street railway tracks, in, upon, or along
any street, alley, or public place of the municipality in which the tracks
are already laid at the time of making the grant. Also the corporate
authorities, without any petition of landowners, may grant the use of or
the right to lay tracks in any tunnel or subway beneath the surface of any
street, alley, or public place.
