By John Reynolds, Jan. 30, 2014
And they responded, with more than 150 attending a meeting sponsored by the city of Springfield and the Illinois Department of Transportation at South Side Christian Church, 2600 S. MacArthur Blvd.
Jen Dillman, president of the MacArthur Boulevard Business Association, said the public meeting was designed to get the ball rolling on a study that will look at infrastructure needs along MacArthur between South Grand and Wabash avenues. Some of the possible study subjects include: changes to improve traffic flow, more and better sidewalks, road improvements, a bike lane, curbing and improved drainage.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and City of Springfield will host a public meeting for a MacArthur Boulevard Feasibility Study. The limits of the study are MacArthur Boulevard, from Wabash Avenue to South Grand Avenue, in Springfield. The department encourages all interested persons to attend and participate.
The public meeting will be held in an open house format, which means interested residents can attend any time from 5 to 7 p.m.
Various elements along the corridor will be studied, such as access, traffic signals, drainage issues, pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit accommodations, and possible ways to facilitate additional green space. The goal of this feasibility study is to determine the general scope and cost of improvements desired and to recommend possible future improvements. The study is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2014.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the current need for improvements on the corridor. Exhibits, maps, and aerial photography of the study area will be available for inspection and viewing during the entire time department representatives are present. All persons interested in this project are invited to attend.
The meeting location is accessible to special needs individuals. Anyone needing special assistance should contact Roger Driskell, Deputy Director of Highways, Region Four Engineer, 126 East Ash Street, Springfield, IL, 62704-4792; phone (217) 342-8202.
The IDOT Meeting will be located at:
South Side Christian Church, 2600 South MacArthur Boulevard, Springfield, IL
