Ciorba Group provided preliminary and final design engineering services to rehabilitate/reconstruct Austin Avenue from Oakton Street to Lincoln Avenue. Austin Avenue is a two-lane urban road with parking lanes on both sides of the street. Improvements consisted of reconstructing the parking lanes, rehabilitating the two travel lanes, replacing curb and gutter the length of the project, storm sewer improvements and replacing sidewalk to conform to ADA requirements. Capacity and safety were improved at the Austin Avenue/Oakton Street intersection by expanding the corner radii. Plans and specifications were prepared in accordance with IDOT BLR&S requirements since federal STP funds were used for construction of the improvements.
