RE:			Goodwin Avenue Closed for Resurfacing

Weather permitting; Goodwin Avenue between Green Street and Gregory Drive 
is scheduled for resurfacing on Thursday, October 29, 2009.  Both 
pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be seriously impacted during this 
work. 

The work will begin at 5:00 a.m. at the intersection of Goodwin Avenue and 
Green Street and will continue all day.  Goodwin Avenue south of Green 
Street and north of Gregory Drive will be closed to traffic the entire 
day. The intersections of Goodwin Avenue and Green Street, Nevada Street 
and  Gregory Drive will remain open during the work; however, delays can 
be expected as work proceeds through these intersections. Oregon Street, 
normally one-way westbound between Mathews and Goodwin, will allow two-way 
traffic while Goodwin Avenue is closed. 

Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be seriously affected during the 
resurfacing work. Public Works and University staff will be present at the 
intersections along the corridor to direct pedestrians to a safe place to 
cross Goodwin Avenue.  This could result in pedestrians walking a few 
blocks away from their desired crossing location.  We are strongly urging 
pedestrians to obey all traffic control signage and follow all verbal 
directions they are given.  The temperature of freshly laid asphalt can 
range from 250 to 350 degrees.  Any detours in your walking route are for 
your own safety.

C-U MTD routes serving the East Campus between Green Street and Gregory 
Drive will be rerouted.  For more information please go to cumtd.com or 
call 384-8188. 

The ultimate goal of this project is to create a safer corridor for all 
users: pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and the motoring public.  
We apologize for any inconvenience that the work is causing, and are 
asking for your continued cooperation as the project nears completion.

In case of inclement weather, this work will be rescheduled and additional 
communication will be issued prior to the work.

may be directed to Ms. Jennifer Selby, Urbana Public Works at 217-384-2385
