S. 51 and Southland / First Drive; replacing curb and gutter; replacing concrete median; and other related work.

S. 51 and Southland / First Drive. The City's share of the cost for these traffic signal improvements, including design, is estimated to be $9,750.00. IDOT has sent a Letter of Intent (copy attached) to the City asking that the City agree to its share of the cost for these traffic signal improvements and other City responsibilities expected by IDOT. The other responsibilities include approval of the portion of the plans and specifications relating to City maintenance or jurisdictional control; motor vehicle parking within the project limits; prohibiting discharge of sanitary sewage and industrial waste into storm sewers; regulating encroachments; and relocating or adjusting City owned utilities in conjunction with IDOT's improvements.
