The third time's the charm! The City received the good news that it is being awarded a $21.24 million federal RAISE grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. It's a highly competitive nationwide grant available for critical transportation and infrastructure projects. Edwardsville is one of several Illinois cities among the recipients. This grant will allow the City to undertake the long-sought Goshen Road and Liberty Trail Multimodal Transportation Project, which will provide important safety, environmental and connectivity enhancements. This was the City's third time seeking the grant, and we received dozens of letters of support from regional public safety providers, elected officials, school districts, organizations and businesses. The support was instrumental and is incredibly appreciated! We also want to note the expertise and collaboration from Oates Associates, Inc. and Moran Economic Development. Among the planned improvements are: - Reconstruction of 1 mile of Goshen Road from the Edwardsville-YMCA Meyer Center to Sports Park Drive at Plummer Family Park. - The addition of a 2.5-mile shared use path along the north side of Goshen Road from Old Troy Road to Plummer Family Park with solar, rapid-flashing beacons. - Reconstruction of 0.3 miles of Old Troy Road from Goshen Road to MCT Trails' Goshen Trail AND the addition of a shared use path on the east side of Old Troy Road in that same stretch. - The installation of roundabouts with clearly marked pedestrian crossings at three Goshen Road intersections – at Gerber Road, District Drive and Ridge View Road. - Electric vehicle charging stations at Plummer Family Park and bicycle parking along the shared use path. - Stream bank stabilization at Goshen Road culverts. Construction is likely a few years down the road while essential design work is undertaken to map out the precise steps for the project.

We share information regularly about our job openings and internships, but this is a great opportunity to share the intersection of those two things. Josh Schumacher was the City of Edwardsville's FIRST Information Technology intern and he's now a full-time member of our IT team! It's not every day that a position that is seemingly tailor-made for an intern comes open, but it's pretty terrific when it does. Internships are useful opportunities to test the waters in a profession; that's particularly important when it comes to working for a municipality. It's an often overlooked place of employment, but opportunities abound to do amazing work and support an entire community. Congratulations to our newest IT team member, Josh!

The City of Edwardsville is continuing the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan with an open house TODAY (Wednesday, May 29) from 4-7 p.m. in the historic Wildey Theatre event rooms. We are hoping for a great turnout because public input is an essential component! Pop in for as little or as long as you'd like. Our planning team will be on hand to answer questions and share details about the process. What is a comprehensive plan? It's a guiding document for future development that cities assemble using LOTS of public input. It's used by our City planners and resident-led committees such as the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals as well as the City Council. We'll have lots of interactive displays for you to check out and share feedback on commercial development, housing, infrastructure and more. If you can't attend, you can learn more about the process and provide feedback online at: https://lnkd.in/gVcSSzPf Edwardsville's Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2010.
