The News-Gazette had an update on the Garden Hills improvement plan with comments by City Councilwoman Clarissa Fourman and additional information on the project:
Clearing way for change
...
After years of encouraging city-led Garden Hills improvements, Fourman and her fellow Champaign City Council members voted this week to tee some up.
The beginning of a five-phase, multiyear Garden Hills improvement plan is now being refined by city staff and will need one more council vote before it can start.
The plan’s first phase involves the city appraising, purchasing and demolishing 46 properties along Hedge Road, in addition to appraising and purchasing a vacant lot on Joanne Lane.
Occupants of the properties will be relocated by the city, according to a staff report, and a detention basin with greenery and foliage will take the homes’ place.
