The
City of Evanston will begin a project to improve the Emerson/Ridge/Green Bay
Corridor on Monday, May 16. The project will include roadway resurfacing and
reconstruction; installation of new water main, storm sewer and drainage
structures; replacement of curbs and gutters; traffic signal modernization; and
new street/viaduct lighting, pavement markings and landscaping. The entire
project is expected to be completed by early November 2016.
The project will improve traffic safety and flow, create a
friendlier route for pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit, and enhance
aesthetics. The work is part of the City’s continuous program to improve the
roadway system throughout the community and is funded by federal and local
funds.
Schedule
The project will be completed in four stages, with some overlap/modification to
stages as needed:
- Stage 1 construction will begin
the week of May 16. Crews will be removing the medians on Ridge Ave. south
of Emerson St., and on Green Bay Rd. north of Emerson St.
- Stage 2 will close the west
side of Green Bay Rd., from Noyes St. south to Asbury Ave. and Emerson
St.; the north side of Emerson St., between Asbury Ave. and Green Bay Rd.;
and the west side of Ridge Ave., between Emerson St. and Garnett Pl.
- Stage 3 will mirror Stage 2,
with closures taking place on the opposite sides of the streets.
- Stage 4 will include partial
closures at the intersections within the project limits to allow for
traffic signal work and final construction.
During construction, one lane of traffic in each direction will
be maintained on Emerson St., Ridge Ave. and Green Bay Rd. The actual date when
construction is planned will be noted on temporary “No Parking” signs posted 48
hours prior to the start of the work. Street cleaning and neighborhood parking
restrictions will be waived for a one-block radius around the construction
zone. Construction zone “No Parking Any Time” will be in effect on Green
Bay Rd., between Emerson St. and Ridge Ave., for the duration of the project.
Workers will attempt to minimize inconveniences for abutting businesses and
residents.
