                        Time:  2:00 PM

                        Where: Main & University Intersection

 The City of Peoria and Illinois American Water have been working on the improvements for the Main and University intersection.  As part of the City’s continued efforts following the public input from the meetings on September 2013 and January 2014, the reconstruction of the Main & University intersection is complete.  The reconstruction plans were derived from the efforts and suggestions of the public for: wider sidewalks, lane reconfigurations, added street parking, upgraded signals and lighting, new landscaping and improved pedestrian access.

Parking is available in the parking lots near One World Café, Avanti’s and Campus Town.  In case of rain, the ceremony will be held at Bradley’s Michael Student Center First Floor Atrium, 915 N. Elmwood, Peoria.

For more information regarding the ceremony, contact City Engineer Scott Reeise, P.E. or Vikki Hibberd, Administrative Manager at Public Works, (309) 494-8800.
