For more than a month, a major Chicago suburb has had major landscaping work done on its downtown main street.
The Chicago Tribune reports that since early April, Plainfield’s Lockport Street has undergone $134,000’s worth of renovation work. Though the project is expected to be wrapped up in June, town officials hope to have most of it done by May 26th, when the town’s annual Tuesday night car shows begin. The renovation work includes restoring the sunken concrete and bricks along the sidewalks and sealing the cracks. The sidewalks will be washed by power washers and steam-cleaners, the latter being needed to remove the gum stains sorely embedded in the pavement. “When we get done, [people] are going to be really happy with it,” said Plainfield Village President Mike Collins. He said the work will encourage more commerce downtown. The project is the first major renovation work the town has done since spending $7 million in 2008. The project dramatically upgraded the town’s water and sewer systems and widened walkways, streets, and intersections. The town also added more tables, fixtures, as well as decorative lighting and a new sound system downtown. “We’re maintaining the investment downtown,” said Randy Jessen, the Superintendent of Public Improvements in Plainfield. During the renovations so far, town officials have noticed that some of Plainfield’s landscaping needed extra work. Due to the street construction, some of the landscaping was damaged (not to mention the fact that one side of Lockport Street receives more side than the other). The new landscaping projects will do their best to make both sides match. Plainfield officials claim to do their best when scheduling construction and landscaping work, keeping in mind the disruption it may cause to nearby restaurants and businesses. Some of the work, for example, is done during slow times and after hours. Town crews and outside landscaping contractors will complete the work.
