Project Category: Bikeability
Description: To incentivize business development along Jacksonville's Main Street, the Springfield Preservation and Revitalization Council worked to improve the appearance of area. They installed trash receptacles, bike racks and bike maintenance stations.

Organizers say they hope the improvements set the stage for this historic community's continued popularity.
