Champaign library addressing safety concern about street

CHAMPAIGN – Champaign resident Bill Glithero told the Champaign City Council on Tuesday about his unpleasant surprise while exiting the new Champaign Public Library last week.

Coming down the front steps, Glithero and a friend walked into Clara Lane, an east-west lane of traffic that runs in front of the library. Only they didn't know it was a street, because of the white concrete squares that make the lane in front of the library appear to be a pedestrian plaza.
