Project Introduction
The scope of work for the project is the development of a Corridor Transportation Study and Economic Development Strategy for the Auburn Street Corridor in Rockford from the western City limits (Springfield Avenue) to the eastern terminus at Main Street (IL-2), approximately 3.33 miles in length.
Project Goals
- Focus on transportation solutions to improve pedestrian safety, reduce injuries and fatalities, and beautify the corridor
- Inform the community on how to move forward, beyond the study, while achieving the goals of the community
- Focus on improvements within the right of way such as sidewalks and lighting, utilizing a complete streets mentality such that the right of way improvements are assets to the adjacent neighborhoods and improve corridor appeal
- Identify the potential future uses of vacant industrial buildings along the corridor
- Identify measures and strategies to update aging infrastructure along the corridor that serve as catalysts for roadway improvements
- Understand that the corridor should be cohesive, while noting the different characteristics of each section
- Provide a conceptual cost for right of way improvements for future programming
