What a difference a week makes! ComEd has completed the utility pole removal on Locust Street and we are working to finish up the remainaing tasks. Here is what you can expect for the next week:
Concrete and patch work - Alliance will be patching all the sidewalk locations where utility poles were removed as well as some alley patch work start on Wednesday of this week through next week.
Landscaping/Street furniture - Week of May 16
Brick banding installation - Week of May 23
Crosswalk painting - TBD based on weather, but we should see stamp work being done on Locust early next week followed by painting. Some additional material needs to be removed in the cross walk areas on Lincoln and then painting can begin.

Here are a few images of Locust Street during construction with the overhead wires still in place...
What A Difference
As of today only 6 poles remain on Locust Street. What a difference.
As you can tell we have made good progress since our post earlier this week. ComEd is moving right along. We have also had good progress on Lincoln Hwy with the removal of the failed crosswalk product. Next up concrete work and (we hope) warmer days so we can finish up the landscaping and paint the crosswalks.

Spring is Here!
Spring has sprung and work is back in full force on Locust Street.
Here is what is planned for the next few days...weeks:
GENERAL CONTRACTOR
Alliance has poured all the concrete available until the poles are removed. They are currently relocating the VB Plaza sign. They will begin cleaning up the lot at Locust and First late this week or early next week. Work will include removing the gravel, installing dirt, grading and then seeding. Once poles are removed by ComEd, they will return to finish concrete work.
FRONTIER:
All Froniter wires and poles should be removed as of Wednesday of this week.
COMED
Com Ed has made the last tie late last week and all power is now on the underground system. They are to start on May 4th removing the wire on the north side of Locust Street. They will be removing hardware off poles 1 block per day from 1st to 4th. At times there will be a 1 lane closures with 2 flaggers so road will never be fully closed. At times there will be sidewalk obstructions as wire comes down. All hardware is anticipated to be removed by Friday.
LANDSCAPE
Landscaper will be in the week of May 16th after all plants and shrubs are dug in the nursery.
CROSSWALKs
William Charles started removing failed materials today at the 3rd Street intersection They will continue to remove the failed product throughout this week. Once temperatures reach 50 and rising for 8hr periods they will begining painting the crosswalks with Streetbond 150. This is a special paint used for painting on streets. This is the same treatment as used on Annie Glidden Road. No thermoplast will be reinstalled.
