The City of Urbana will hold an Informational Meeting concerning the proposed Main Street Resurfacing, Traffic Signal Upgrades, Bike Lanes and Pedestrian Improvements between Cedar Street and Dewey Street.

The meeting will be held at the Urbana Civic Center on Thursday, April 4, 2013 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. All persons interested in this project are invited to attend this meeting. Persons with a disability planning to attend this meeting should contact the individual listed below by Monday, April 1, 2013.

Bids for the Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) Signal Upgrade at the Race Street and Main Street Intersection will be received on April 26, 2013.

Bids for the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Project (ITEP) roadway resurfacing, ADA sidewalk and curb ramp reconstruction and road diet with bike lanes from Grove Street to Dewey Street at the eastern corporate limits will be received on June 14, 2013.

Construction on all three projects will proceed concurrently and they are scheduled to be completed by late November 2013. Construction drawings for the three projects will be available at the meeting for viewing.

The meeting will be conducted on an informal basis. A brief presentation on the status of the project and the proposed improvements will begin at 6:30 p.m. Representatives of the City of Urbana will be available from 6:00 p.m. until the presentation and also after the presentation to discuss the project. Representatives will answer individual questions offered by those in attendance.
