We Are Making Progress!

This will be a VERY busy week on 3rd Street and in Palmer Court, but we are making great progress. Here is a quick rundown of where we are and what to expect the next few weeks:

THIRD STREET UPDATE

- Fencing
The construction fence that will go down the middle of the sidewalk on both the east and west sides of Third Street will be arriving on Wednesday, May 13. Pedestrians will be able to access Third via Lincoln Highway, Palmer and Locust.

- Water main
The new water main is in and nearly complete. Now all the buildings need to be connected to the new service. On Monday, May 18 all buildings on North Third from Lincoln Highway to Oak Street will be without water service for approximately five hours starting at 6 a.m.  The City of DeKalb will be posting notices on all buildings including the residences that will be effected.

- Third Street to Reopen on May 26!!!
Third Street will reopen for one lane of vehicular traffic starting on Tuesday, May 26 and as always the sidewalks will be open to pedestrians. There will be NO on street parking at first while we are working on grading for the new curb and gutters, but cars and pedestrians can travel down the streets.  During this time we continue to stress that ALL employees should be utilizing the 12 hour lots north of Locust or south of Lincoln Highway. Employees should not park on Locust as this will be the closest parking for customers.

Cars will be able to access Third Street from Palmer Court later this week once the work on the manhole at the intersection of Palmer and Third is completed.
