Committee hears updates on sidewalks, bridge lighting and downtown parking
Summary
Staff reported remaining sidewalk funds and said they will create an application for sidewalk repairs; aldermen discussed bridge reflectors being pursued through IDOT and heard that downtown parking had no new update. No formal actions were taken on these items.
Administrator Patricia Diduch told the committee there are funds remaining in the current fiscal year’s sidewalk budget and that Public Works Director Aaron Vincer identified sidewalks that need repair; Diduch said she will work with Vincer to create an application for sidewalk funds and present it to Council. Alderman Ron Boyer said he would like to see the sidewalk budget increased.
On bridge lighting, Alderman Boyer said a contact at the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is trying to get reflectors installed on the bridge’s parapet wall and that lighting would remain the City’s responsibility. Diduch said there was no update on downtown parking. These items were informational and staff will return with recommendations or applications as needed.
