Street Projects

 City government announced today it received almost $2 million in non-matching funds to resurface sections of West College, West Cherry and Poplar.  I am especially happy to see that Poplar is included because the stretch of Poplar north of Main has been needing more work for years.  Now if the city could just get funding to redo Willow.

The City of Carbondale is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $1,989,063 grant to repave three important roadway corridors. This award requires no local matching funds, ensuring that the project will be completed at no cost to the City or residents.

The grant, awarded through the state’s largest-ever infrastructure program, will provide 100% funding for the following repaving projects:

  • W. College Street from S. Forest Avenue to S. University Avenue
  • W. Cherry Street from S. Oakland Avenue to S. Illinois Avenue
  • Poplar Street from W. Mill Street to W. Oak Street

This investment will enhance transportation safety, improve road conditions, and support long-term community development.
