Transportation committee approves joint IDOT funding agreement for Broadway Road resurfacing
Summary
The in‑place transportation committee approved a joint funding agreement with IDOT to allow federal funds to be used for resurfacing Broadway Road between Springfield Road and I‑155; the agreement does not appropriate county funds now and the resurfacing work covers nearly three miles.
The Tazewell County in‑place transportation committee approved a joint funding agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation to enable federal funds for resurfacing Broadway Road between Springfield Road and Interstate 155.
Committee chair Mr. Wombacher called the in‑place transportation committee to order and members discussed the agreement. Committee members emphasized that the action approves an agreement to access federal funds but does not commit county dollars at this time. One staff member explained the scope as similar to local resurfacing work but allowing the county to do nearly three miles of work this year with grant funding.
After brief questions from members, the committee approved the agreement by voice vote following a motion by Grawe and a second by Woodrow.
Why it matters: The agreement allows the county to bid or proceed with federally funded resurfacing work for a corridor that staff estimated at nearly three miles. The county did not appropriate funds during this meeting; subsequent steps will be required to obligate or spend funds.
The committee also approved a related grant request to resurface sections of Broadway and Springfield Road at 150th Place, noting the grant expands the extent of work the county can undertake this year. Both items passed by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies are recorded in the transcript.
