A new chapter in Glen Ellyn's history: Rebuilding our downtown
The Village of Glen Ellyn is investing in a once-in-a-generation project to ensure Downtown is a destination for residents and visitors for years to come. The project will replace and upgrade storm, sanitary, and water lines, build new sidewalks and roads and install irrigated granite planters with seat walls. The design will maintain the historic look and feel of downtown while meeting ADA accessibility requirements. The new streetscape also provides the opportunity to improve the health of the urban forest by improving growing conditions for trees, increasing the variety of tree species, and doubling the overall number of trees downtown!
The Village has secured additional free customer parking, including 15-minute pick-up spots, in select lots during construction. Watch the video below to see which lots are available near the businesses you want to visit.
Derek is responsible for overseeing the project and coordinating with the on-site engineer. Contact Derek with any construction and scheduling questions.
