Regional Transportation meeting for Bureau, La Salle and Putnam counties set March 24

Meeting will take place in Dixon

By Shaw Local News Network
“The traffic (last) weekend was pretty intense.” And that’s good news/bad news for Utica. Retailers welcome more visitors but the holiday and weekend congestion at Route 178 and U.S. 6 is becoming painful. Relief is on the way: Illinois Department of Transportation plans to install red lights at the four corners.

The next Region 3 - Human Services Services Transportation Plan Meeting will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 27, at the Mendota Moose Lodge at 211 E. 12th St. (Scott Anderson)
