The City has contracted the reconstruction of Leon Place roadway from Simpson Street to Ridge Avenue. Work is anticipated to begin the week of June 17 and continue for eight weeks. The funding for this project comes from the City's Rebuild IL/Motor Fuel Tax Funds.
This project involves curb and sidewalk replacement, complete road base reconstruction, sewer work, new sidewalk on the south side of Leon Place, driveway aprons, and new ADA ramps at the intersections. The project will also include parkway restoration after roadway resurfacing and striping.
Parking will be prohibited during construction on Leon Place at all times. There will be a detour in place to maintain one-way traffic on Leon Place during construction. The south half of the roadway will be constructed first, allowing traffic on the north half. When the north half of Leon Place is under construction, one-way traffic will be maintained on the south half of the street. View a map of the detour plan.
Street sweeping and parking restrictions will be waived for a one-block radius around the construction zone during the entire construction timeframe. City and Northwestern facilities along Leon Place will remain open during construction, and access to all driveways will be maintained. The exact date construction activities are scheduled to begin will be noted on temporary construction zone "no parking" signs posted a minimum of 48 hours in advance of the work.
