From Mid Rivers Newsmagazine: City infrastructure upgrades along Main Street will continue in 2025.
At its meeting on Dec. 19, the O’Fallon City Council passed a bill approving plans for the Main Street Phase 3 improvement project and authorizing the acquisition of property and other associated actions. The vote was 10-0.
Improvement work will extend along Main Street from City Hall to just south of St. Joseph Avenue. Improvements will include intersection reconstruction at Third Street, Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, street lighting, path installation and widened sidewalks.
The city did a traffic study for the Main Street and Third Street intersection, which found that a roundabout will outperform a signalized intersection at that location. The benefits of a roundabout include added safety, emissions reduction and a higher level of service for traffic.
