The Lawrenceville City Council has moved forward in the effort to obtain an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) grant for funding safe, continuous, ADA-compliant pedestrian routes for residents of all ages within the corporate city limits.
Thursday, September 24th during a special session, they adopted a resolution of support to provide 20% matching funds for the planned project. The city is making application for a maximum award of $5 million total to pay for new sidewalks spanning a three-mile-long area, ADA-compliant ramps, detectable warnings, and a median to the busy highway "Y" intersection of US-50 and State Street/West Haven Rd to give pedestrians a safe landing zone.
The move was made after a required public hearing for comment and a presentation of the scope of the work by Mitch Hardiek of the engineering firm of Milano and Grunloh (M&G) based in Effingham, the facilitator of the project.
The final application date is Monday, October 5th. A copy of the grant application will be available for public view during regular business hours at the Lawrenceville City Hall.
