Wilson Street Is Next on Batavia's Streetscape To-Do List

Work begins in June for the Wilson Street portion of the city of Batavia's streetscape project.

Wilson Street is next on the city of Batavia's to-do list, with $3.5 million in improvments coming when work starts in June, according to a report in the Kane County Chronicle.

Improvements will include a half-dozen "bump outs" at the crossing areas along with brick crosswalks at the intersections. Traffic signal improvements also are part of the package.

Batavia will get $1.5 million in Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program funds plus $656,000 from the state for the traffic signals.

Work from Island Avenue to Batavia Avenue will take three or four months to complete.

According to the city of Batavia's website, work also will conclude a traffic-signal interconnect, the goal of which is "to synchronize and coordinate the intersections in a specific corridor allowing for platoons of traffic to travel more smoothly and quickly with maximum green-light time, through the corridor."
