Latham Street Improvements

The two-lane, approximately 4,500-foot-long stretch of Latham Street between East Center Street and the northern City border is deteriorated and in need of replacement.

Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) has been asked to complete the Phase I engineering for this federally funded roadway improvement project. Additionally, there are several areas of flooding concern that will be addressed as part of this project.

The project includes reconstructing the roadway, regrading ditches, and making minor intersection improvements at the twelve cross-streets along the corridor. The scope of the project includes topographic survey, traffic counts, crash analysis, residential parking study, geometric design, special waste analysis, drainage design, STP grant application, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and IDOT District 3 coordination, and preparation of the Project Development Report. The project is processed at the CE State approval environmental processing level and was designed to not require any right-of-way acquisition.
