Episode Description
In the latest episode of the Mayor Feinen Podcast, Mayor Deb Feinen is joined by Public Works Director Terry Lusby Jr. and Planning & Economic Development Director Bruce Knight for a discussion about the future of Prospect Avenue. They explain how the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and recent bike implementation study align with IDOT’s proposed safety improvements to one of Champaign’s busiest roads. With over 270 crashes in just a few blocks in five years, the conversation highlights how converting the road from four lanes to three could reduce accidents, improve bike and pedestrian safety, and make the corridor more accessible for all users.
