Roads & Bridges - a continuous work in progress!

This new page will link our citizens to all of the new road and bridge activities in Danville! We plan to have an interactive portion where you can be involved in the decisions being made regarding your streets. You may submit information about roads that need repair and even suggest the type of repair. You may also sign up to participate in the design process for future projects. Please check back often as this page will change frequently. Thank you for your continued support and drive safely!

Streets to be overlaid this next fiscal year in order of priority: Townway, Winter Avenue (Jackson to Monterey), Hazel (English to Williams, Harrison to Main), Seminary (Washington to Vermilion) and Fairchild (Logan to Gilbert) and any other final areas pending final costs.
 

Recent Suggestions: (The following suggestions & comments are taken directly from our citizens and have not been edited.)

April 26th - July 8th:

Street: Old Ottowa Road, Intersection1: Demark Road,Intersection2: Denvale West Entrance, Solution: Overlay, Comments: Road has lost shape over the years. Seems to be narrowing....no drainage ditch gravel etc for water to run off.

Street: Bowman Ave. , Intersection1: Voorhees, Intersection2: Liberty Lane, Solution: Total replacement  Complete pavement, curb & gutter, driveway aprons, drainage systems, sidewalks and ramp replacement, Comments: Bowman ave. is another road in need of repair. The truck traffic for Walmart and most of the other business in the north side has taken its toll on this road. It has been in need of repair for at least 20 years, and now that Bowman sees more truck traffic than Vermilion this road should be made to handle this high and heavy traffic load safely.

Street: Alley entrance off of Columbia for North Sherman,Intersection1: Columiba,Intersection2: 1406 N Sherman, Solution: Other, Comments: I have called about this but got no call back. Five families use this alley multiple time daily and the alley is separating very badly. I have had my car actually slip into the rut and bottom out. This damaged spot is about 4 inches wide and about, 10 to 12 foot long. It is shaped like a curvy snake. I need this alley to get in and out of my house. I do not want to incur car repair due to this alley. Thank you for looking into this for me and my neighbors.

Street: Sunset Ridge in Holiday Hills area, Intersection1: Hillside, Intersection2: Crestview and a block past that, Solution: Total replacement, Comments: Please look back in your records and you will find a complaint on this street signed by everyone living here at the time. The original single complaints began when Mayor Jones was in office. The concrete coming up is dangerous a vehicle has already caused a broken front window, that was a couple of years ago. Now kids pick up these pieces of concrete coming up sometimes so big they have to use to hand to pick up and throw at other kids and whatever else they choose to throw them at. Someone is going to be seriously hurt. The street sweeper goes down the middle for fear of making too big a hole picking up the loose concrete. Inspectors should have made them redo this street when it was poured because it wasn't even enough for regular cars let alone the BIG CRIS bus and the school buses that now use it. Does someone have to get hurt before something is done and this repair taken seriously?
