EAST PEORIA, Ill. — East Peoria City Council on Tuesday night gave preliminary approval to a traffic project along IL-116.
It would extend from just north of Interstate 74 through the intersection with Highview Rd.
As it’s a state route, Illinois Department of Transportation is responsible for the bulk of the $1.8M worth of work, which will include the installation of sidewalk ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, milling and overlaying the road’s surface, modernizing traffic signals, and improving the vehicle detection system at the intersection with Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino.
The city’s financial responsibility will cover the traffic signals and vehicle detection system, which will cost between $8,435 and $10,544.
The matter will be available for public inspection for one week, and then council could approve it at next meeting.
