Elgin Central Business District Streetscape

Elgin, Illinois

City of Elgin, IL

With increased traffic demands, the older downtown Central Business District of Elgin, Illinois, was in need of updates. In addition to repairing streets, the project included replacing sidewalks and curb and gutter incorporating paver streetscape accents, planers with irrigation, decorative street lights, street furniture, additional trees and repaving with utility reconditioning and sewer assessment. TranSystems performed design and construction engineering services for the program, and also directed a substantial public relations/information effort, including public meetings, newsletters, and project updates through website, handouts and mailings.
