Project would make area safer for public health district visitors

CHAMPAIGN – By August, it's going to be a lot safer for people who walk or ride the bus to the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District office at 201 W. Kenyon Road.

The city council will consider Tuesday night contributing $50,000 toward the $145,000 overall cost of constructing a new 5-foot-wide sidewalk from Neil Street to the public health district office. The health district will pay the remainder of the cost.
