Rt 31 - Road Diet - Informational Meeting
August 23, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The City of Batavia will hold a public information meeting 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, August 23, Batavia Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave., to discuss the proposed implementation of a road diet for Illinois Route 31 from Fabyan Parkway to Mooseheart Road. The public is encouraged to arrive by 6:15 p.m., when the project team give a presentation.
The U.S. Department of Transportation explains the road diet approach as narrowing travel lanes or shoulders or eliminating some of them to provide more space for pedestrians and bicyclists. A typical road diet consists of converting a four-lane roadway (two in each direction) to a three-lane (one in each direction plus a center turn lane). The proposal for Batavia would convert the four-lane road from Fabyan Parkway to Mooseheart Road to three lanes with shoulders.
