MCORE Pre-Construction Open House

A pre-construction open house for the MCORE (Multimodal Corridor Enhancement) project will be held on Wednesday, February 22, 2017, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the project field office located at 24 East Green Street, Unit 19, Champaign, Illinois 61820.

The open house will be conducted on an informal basis; no formal presentation is planned. Exhibits, plans and aerial photography of the proposed improvements will be available for viewing during this time. Project representatives will be available to discuss the current construction plans for the project and to answer any questions.

The MCORE project is a transformative $44 million project designed to improve mobility in the core of the community. Project partners include the City of Urbana, City of Champaign, Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Construction will begin in March 2017, weather permitting. This phase of the MCORE project will improve access for all modes of transportation along Green Street between Wright Street and Lincoln Avenue in Urbana (Project 1); and along Green Street between Neil Street and Fourth Street (Project 2), and White Street between Second Street and Wright Street, and Wright Street between White Street and Springfield Avenue in Champaign (Project 3).

The scale of this infrastructure improvement project will have significant vehicular and pedestrian traffic impacts, including detours and street and sidewalk closures during construction.
