Champaign Road Budget Tonight

At tonight's City of Champaign City Council meeting (agenda here and the May Meetings calendar post here) they will be voting on various road and walkway spending for the upcoming summer. From today's News-Gazette:

Champaign council to vote on $1 million of downtown road work
...
The Champaign City Council will vote tonight on launching a Downtown Intersection and Resurfacing Improvements Project. It would bring accessibility improvements, new traffic lights and resurfaced streets — to the tune of more than $1 million.

Dennis Schmidt, the city's public works director, said the project is slated for completion before winter starts.

The following street portions would be milled and resurfaced, according to a city report:

— Neil Street between Springfield and University avenues.

— Walnut Street between White Street and University.

— Walnut between Chester and Main streets.

— Chester between Neil and Walnut.

— Taylor Street east of Walnut.

— Market Street between University and Main.

In addition, those areas would have any deteriorating curbs and sidewalks replaced and sidewalk ramps brought up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
