Calendar

The City of Warrenville will hold a public information meeting about the Illinois Route 59 Multi-Use Paths Project.

WHEN: Thursday, October 12  

TIME: 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. 

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. The $200,000 Illinois State Representative Janet Yang Rohr requested will reduce the City’s share of engineering and construction costs for this necessary safety improvement.
