§ 5-5.
Legislative declaration. The General Assembly declares that the welfare, health, prosperity, and moral and general well being of the people of the State are, in large measure, dependent upon the sound and orderly development of municipal areas. The City of Dixon has become and will increasingly be the hub of transportation from all parts of the region. Motor vehicle traffic, pedestrian travel, and the safety of both motorists and pedestrians are substantially aggravated by the location of a railroad spur line running through the City of Dixon. The presence of the railroad spur line in the City of Dixon is detrimental to the orderly expansion of industry and commerce and to progress of the region. To alleviate this situation it is necessary to relocate the railroad, to acquire property for relocation of the railroad or highways, and to create an agency to facilitate and accomplish that relocation.
