OSWEGO, IL Construction has begun on Oswego s new outdoor entertainment venue located on three acres of land at the north end of Station Drive, near the Park N Ride lot and future Metra station. Village President Troy Parlier announced that work has begun on the $750,000 project, during his annual State of the Village address Wednesday.
The venue will be constructed in two phases. The first phase includes a 40-foot by 60-foot band shell with basic sound and lighting, plus seeded green space so that residents and visitors can bring lawn chairs and enjoy performances. The second phase will include semi-permanent seating, a playground, landscape enhancements, walkways, restrooms and concession stand, art installations, entryway pavers, and functional and aesthetic improvements to the band shell.

The village has been working with IDOT for more than two decades to improve pedestrian safety along Route 34. (Shutterstock)
OSWEGO, IL The much awaited traffic improvements on Route 34 in downtown Oswego can be seen as early as this spring. On Tuesday, the Oswego Village Board approved a plan with the Illinois Department of Transportation that includes additional and bigger signage and pavement markings along crosswalks on Washington Street from Jefferson Street to Route 31. Currently, flashing beacons and handheld flags alert vehicles to pedestrians in the crosswalk at Main and Washington Streets, and Oswego police patrol the stretch of Washington Street through downtown Oswego to deter speeders, the village website states. However, these safety measures fall short of the Village s goal of a pedestrian-friendly downtown that encourages residents to gather, shop and dine a goal that will likely best be met by traffic signals at key intersections.
