Both victims were hit by cars on Route 31 in separate accidents.
Route 31 is under the state's control so Batavia's city council can't add signs or reduce speed without permission. Any process involving the state takes years of studies, engineering and public meetings.
City leaders say they're working with IDOT to launch a speed student and researching the possibility of a bridge or tunnel from Millview under or over Route 31. During Tuesday night's meeting, officials said the state has agreed to speed up a project to improve how narrow Route 31 is and IDOT will begin marking gup the road next spring. The goal is to make this three lanes rather than four lanes.
