We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home. We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi.

Illinois Route 390 will feature all-electronic toll collection with overhead gantries at 6 locations along the 10-mile mainline roadway in addition to 1 ramp toll for the Ketter Drive entrance ramp to westbound Illinois Route 390. The second section from I-290 to Busse Road (Illinois Route 83) is scheduled for completion at the end of 2017, when toll collection for this section begins has yet to be determined. This scheduled for completion at the end of 2015. ![]() Toll collection is expected to begin in 2016 for the first section of Illinois Route 390 from Lake Street (U.S. Business rules and toll rates for commercial vehicles and customers who wish to pay cash are under development and will be announced next year. Passenger vehicles traveling the full 10-mile length of Illinois Route 390 will pay $1.90, similar to the I-PASS toll paid to travel on the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355) south extension between I-55 and I-80.
