Friday, September 18th, the Village will be completing traffic control improvements at the intersection of 127th Street and 248th Avenue.  The existing “one way” stop will be converted to an “all way” stop.  New stop signs, stop bars, and warning flashers/flags will be installed to alert motorists of this change.  While some additional traffic congestion may occur along 127th Street, the new stop conditions will improve the overall safety of the intersection.  Additionally, the installation of new traffic signals at the intersection in the near future should resolve potential traffic congestion issues.  Construction of the new signals has already started and they are scheduled to be operational by the end of this year.  If you have questions about this project, please contact the Public Works Department at (815) 436-3577.
