This is the most recent (June 2008) update of information regarding the proposed Roundabout at North Main Street and Auburn Street.

The most recent Roundabout drawing for North Main Street and Auburn Street is currently under review by the Illinois Department of Transportation (I.D.O.T.). The Roundabout rendering currently under review by I.D.O.T. is the one that was presented to the public at the Informational Open House Meeting last fall at the Eiger Lab in Rockford on November 20, 2007 and November 27, 2007. This review is part of the Phase I approval process for the proposed Roundabout. At this time, the City of Rockford has not received final approval for the Roundabout.

If there are any questions about the latest design or the project in general, please feel free to contact David Camacho, Project Manager, in Public Worksat 815-987-5570.
