Fairmount St Reconstruction

Beginning Wednesday, October 2nd, Fairmount St will be closed between Lombard and W Central Park for street reconstruction.  With Lincoln remaining closed through October, Division St is the recommended north/south route.  Please avoid Clark St due to the school.

This project will remove existing permeable pavement and replace it with a concrete street surface.

The permeable paving was a grant funded pilot project installed to reduce downstream flooding in another area of the city.  While helping to reduce flooding, the permeable paving did not hold up well to traffic.  Staff is looking at other alternatives to reduce flooding in the previously impacted neighborhood.

Work is estimated to be complete late November, pending weather.
