PEORIA – The Illinois Department of Transportation today announced that patching, resurfacing and other improvements to Interstate 474 from Interstate 74 to the Illinois River in Peoria County will require lane closures in each direction, beginning July 19.

This year, the project will focus on I-474 from the Illinois River in Peoria County to north of the Airport Road interchange, as well as the ramps at U.S. 24 (Adams Street) and Airport Road. Eventually, full ramp closures of up to 14 days will be needed and traffic will be detoured.

The project, which also includes expansion joint replacement, drainage improvements, guardrail replacement, electrical improvements, structural repairs and related work, is expected to be completed by November 2022.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.

On May 13, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated the Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People in non-health care settings. In summary, fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any non-healthcare setting, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance. IDPH is working to adjust existing guidance documents in response.

Guidance for healthcare settings remains unchanged at this time and can be found at Updated Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations in Response to COVID-19 Vaccination. In addition, employees and residents of congregate settings, such as correctional facilities and homeless shelters, should continue to mask. Similarly, schools should continue to follow the CDC’s school guidance until more people and children are vaccinated.

The CDC’s guiding principles for these updates are:

• Indoor and outdoor activities pose minimal risk to fully vaccinated people.
• Fully vaccinated people have a reduced risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to unvaccinated people.
• Fully vaccinated people should still get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
• Fully vaccinated people should not visit private or public settings if they have tested positive for COVID-19 in the prior 10 days or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.

The following recommendations for fully vaccinated persons are as follows:

• Resume activities without wearing masks or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance
• Resume domestic travel and refrain from testing before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel (For now, masking is still required on planes, buses, trains and other forms of public transportation.)
• Refrain from testing before leaving the United States for international travel (unless required by the destination) and refrain from self-quarantine after arriving back in the United States
• Refrain from testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic, with some exceptions for specific settings (e.g., employees or residents of homeless shelters and detention facilities)
• Refrain from quarantine following a known exposure if asymptomatic
• Refrain from routine screening testing if feasible

For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:

• Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
• Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations

Mowing season has arrived and with it, a reminder, don’t blow grass clippings into the road. The Village of Bartonville is reminding residents that, not only is it illegal it is potentially dangerous to those on a motorcycle. The addition of debris in the road can cause loss of traction and control for a motorcyclist and motorists of any kind. According to Illinois law (415 ILCS 105 Litter Control Act), it is illegal to deposit grass clippings onto any public roadway as it may cause injury to motorists or become a traffic hazard. There is also a Village ordinance forbidding this: Sec. 38-45. Debris on public ways. No person shall shovel, sweep, plow, or otherwise place or cause to be placed, any snow, ice, grass, leaves or other debris onto any of the streets, avenues, alleys, sidewalks, or other public ways within the Village. Any person who violates this Section shall be fined $150.00 for the first offense and not more than $750.00 for each offense thereafter. (Ord. No. 1514, 4-12-2007)

Please do your part to eliminate this potentially dangerous situation for motorcyclists and keeping our stormwater drains clear. Thank you!
