Crews are shifting focus to sidewalk maintenance along 12th Avenue this morning.

The Lead

East Moline officials are moving forward with a comprehensive review of local stormwater management plans as seasonal infrastructure maintenance ramps up across the city. The initiative targets historically prone neighborhoods, aiming to upgrade aging drainage lines before autumn weather sets in. City engineers presented initial findings at municipal offices, highlighting areas where capacity improvements can prevent localized pooling during heavy downpours. Residents living near the targeted zones will receive direct notices regarding temporary lane shifts and street access adjustments over the coming weeks. Public works leaders emphasize that proactive fixes will minimize long-term disruptions. Homeowners can review the preliminary maps and project schedules through the city's planning portal.
