Urbana City Council will hear two presentations at its meeting Monday: one on the feasibility of roundabout intersections and another on Urbana’s Market at the Square, the city’s farmers’ market.

Diane Marlin, Ward 7, said the farmers’ market is very successful, averaging about 7,000 people each weekend over the course of the year and about 10,000 at its peak.

“It’s a tremendous part of Urbana life and the Urbana economy, and it brings life to our downtown,” she said.

The Community Development Services Department created a committee of stakeholders in the farmers’ market, including Marlin, to research the furthering of the market. The committee surveyed Champaign-Urbana residents to find out how they use the farmers’ market and how it could be improved.

According to the study, issues the Market at the Square faces include the need for an advisory body, a lack of funds and the need for more space due to the market’s growth. The study offers a possible solution to the issue of space: opening the farmers’ market for longer hours.

Marlin said the current city council set sustainability as one of its goals when it was first elected, including providing accessibility to local foodstuffs.

In another presentation, the council will entertain the possibility of adding roundabouts to Urbana’s roadways.

Marlin said the pavement on Windsor Road, from Philo Road to Race Street, needs to be replaced, which sparked the council’s interest in roundabout intersections.

“We thought as long as we were rebuilding the road, it was a good time to consider all the different intersection alternatives to make sure we were picking the one that is best for the public,” she said.

In other business, the council will vote on a resolution to resurface Park Street and Lincoln and Springfield avenues for about $750,000 — $100,000 more than the project was initially expected to cost — and a resolution authorizing a two-year extension of the city’s contract with ABC Sanitary Hauling, a leaf and waste collection company.

The council will also vote on an ordinance prohibiting parking on Kettering Park Drive and Linview Avenue as well as two ordinances to replace the damaged roof of the salt dome the city shares with Champaign County. There is also a motion to approve policies for bioswales and rain gardens, which are devices that improve the quality of water runoff from houses. The policies affect such devices along public rights-of-way, as the devices in those areas cause construction problems.

There will also be a special city council meeting to deal with unresolved agenda items that have accumulated over the past two weeks because of canceled city council meetings.

During this meeting, the city will vote on an ordinance to accept a grant given to the farmers’ market and also the sale of a property at 107 E. Oregon St. to the owner of the adjacent property.

There will also be three mayoral appointments — Kelly Hartford Mierkowski as grants management division manager, Earl Hamilton to the Police Pension Fund Board and Aaron Christian Petri to the Sustainability Advisory Commission — and one reappointment, Rizwan Uddin to the Human Relations Commission.
