Pass Thru Is Open

Pass Thru Open
After a few years of planning and many discussion the pedestrian pass thru is OPEN. All the final details are not complete, but the bricks are in and temporary lighting is up. Still to come are benches, lighting, handrail and gates. Eventually there is also artwork that is planned to be installed, but that will most likely not be for some time.

Lincoln Hwy Update:
We are still waiting on lights and street furniture. This is all expected to be here at the end of August. We also need to install a special cross walk overlay on Lincoln, but there is a backorder on thermoplast so this will also likely be late August or early September. We will coordinate this installation around major events including NIU move-in, Cornfest, Huskies SEE DeKalb, Middlewest Fest and of course much anticiapted football games!


Locust Street Update
Due to the rain removals went slower last week and the weather does not look great for the first part of this week. The plan is to finish all removals today and have utilitiy companies on site for the start of conduit installation. We will keep you updated pending weather. Removals include the intersection of 2nd and 3rd as well as bank entrances and the Van Buer Plaza. The construciton company is trying to do removals in those areas first thing in the morning and have gravel back in place by 9or 10a.m. to allow traffic to move normally during business hours. Again weather is slowing this down a bit, but they are doing the best they can.

As always, please email or call Jennifer Groce at RNDK with any questions or concerns at 815-748-7788 or jennifer@renewdekalb.com

Have a great week!
