This project includes the resurfacing of Ridgeland Avenue from Augusta Street to North Avenue, sidewalk corner ramp improvements to meet current ADA requirements using CDBG funds, a bike & ped activated flashing beacon and crossing enhancements at Lemoyne, and traffic signal modernization of the existing older signal at the Division Street intersection. Ridgeland Avenue is an unmarked State highway from Roosevelt Road to Augusta Street. The Village received a grant of $944,000 for construction and $140,000 for construction engineering of Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds for the resurfacing of Ridgeland from Augusta to North Ave. The STP funds will cover 80% of the costs for eligible items with MFT funds being used to fund 10% of the construction costs. Design is locally funded to avoid delays with IDOT. Construction costs are estimated at $1,250,000 ($944,000 fed STP, $118,000 MFT, $118,000 CIP, and $70,000 CDBG) and the State will pay for construction and invoice the Village for the MFT and local share. The Village will pay for construction engineering and be reimbursed by the State for 80% of the costs.
