The continued revamp of South and North Schuyler Ave in Downtown Kankakee continues through the 200 block of North Schuyler Ave.

While most of the project has wrapped up, some aspects are still being finalized - such as the bike lane striping.

Lead by Piggush Engineering, Inc., the projects includes roadway, sidewalk, and landscaping improvements, enhanced lighting, bike lanes, and more.

Led by Neil Piggush, Piggush Engineering continues to play a key role in the revitalization and development of Downtown Kankakee. Their most recent projects have included the continued addition of the bike lanes and the restructuring of the North and South Schuyler streetscapes.
