Geneva owns and operates its own electric utility, and we take great pride in providing reliable electric service to our residents and businesses. However, like all utilities, we are susceptible to outages caused by bad weather, animals, equipment issues and more. This blog is designed to provide updates on what caused outages after service has been restored. Large-scale incidents will be posted in real-time on the City's Alert Center on the our website homepage. Customers can subscribe to receive these updates via Notify Me.

[ARCHIVED] Sod Work Winding Down For IDOT&#39s Route 31 ADA Improvements

The original item was published from May 9, 2024 2:33 PM to November 1, 2024 12:00 AM

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has substantially completed making ADA improvements along Route 31 in Geneva.
 
The project began last fall, and continued this spring at the following Route 31 intersections: 

  • North Street;
  • Stevens Street;
  • Ford Street;
  • Peyton Street (including removal of sidewalk crossing);
  • Hamilton Street (including removal of sidewalk crossing);
  • State Street (Route 38);
  • James Street;
  • Campbell Street (including removal of southern sidewalk crossing);
  • Franklin Street (including removal of sidewalk crossing); and
  • Third Street.

The contractor has graded and capped all the corners with top soil with the exception of James, Campbell and State streets. The remaining three intersections are scheduled to be finished by late August, according to the State.

The project is being managed by IDOT, which also decided to remove the selected sidewalk crossings. The City of Geneva does not have jurisdiction on the matter given Route 31 is a state highway.
