Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Bloomington, Illinois. Design plans call civil work for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The proposed new segment of multi-use path on the Constitution Trail is located in the southeast portion of the city and will start at Lafayette Street and end at Hamilton Road. The project is adjacent to a mobile home neighborhood and connects users to nearby businesses, downtown Bloomington, and another business district on the southeast side of Bloomington. The path will also connect to Hamilton Road, the major east-west corridor south of I-55 Business. Phase I preliminary engineering was funded by the city in FY2022 with Illinois Department of Transportation Phase I approval expected in FY2023. Phase II design, plans, specifications and estimates is expected to begin in FY2024 and finish in FY2025. The city intends to apply for the next round of an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program grant to fund 80% of the estimated construction cost in summer/fall of 2025. Construction of the path is expected to begin in FY25 provided the ITEP grant is awarded to the city. Operating Impact: This project would include a trail extension.
