The City of Warrenville will hold a public information meeting about the Illinois Route 59 Multi-Use Paths Project.
WHEN: Thursday, October 12
WHERE: Warrenville City Hall, 28W701 Stafford Place
City staff will answer questions and discuss the need for the project, design options, right-of-way acquisition, and the construction schedule.
Residents will enjoy safe, ADA-accessible paths to businesses and existing bikeways and trails along Route 59 from Batavia Road to Continental Drive and Meadow Avenue when work is complete.
This is a high priority project due to safety issues along this stretch of road that include:
* speeding cars
* traffic
* accidents that injure or kill pedestrians and bicyclists
* the current lack of accessibility
Work on this project will:
* provide ADA pedestrian and bicycle access along Route 59 from Batavia to Continental Drive and Meadow Avenue
* install handicapped accessible ramps
* replace existing sidewalk
* improve drainage with new storm sewers
* relocate signs and utility poles
The project became part of the City's Bikeway Implementation Plan in 2016. The City then applied for a grant and received federal Surface Transportation Program funding that covers 75% of construction and engineering costs.
