About the Project

Beginning the week of April 17, the Village of Lombard, in partnership with Thomas Engineering, will begin work on the Downtown Sidewalk Improvements Project along St. Charles Road between Craig Place and Elizabeth Street. The project will replace the existing brick pavers with concrete sidewalks and include a trim of decorative brick pavers between the tree vaults and curb. The design will maintain the historic look and feel of downtown while also helping to meet ADA accessibility requirements. 

The project also provides the opportunity to increase the variety of tree species, by removing improper species for the area and planting 25 new trees with larger tree vaults. Streetscape amenities, such as benches, garbage cans and bicycle racks will be replaced as part of the project and a covered bicycle corral will be installed near the 7-11 to serve the downtown.

Timeline

To minimize the impact on businesses and allow for annual downtown events to take place, work will take place in three (3) phases as follows: 

• Phase 1 (April 17 - June 15): North side of St. Charles Rd. from Elizabeth St. to Main St. 
• Phase 2 (June 16 - August 27): St. Charles Rd. from Main St. to Craig Place 
• Phase 3 (August 28- October 29): South side of St. Charles Rd. from Elizabeth St. to Main St. 

Pending weather and unforeseen circumstances, all work should be complete by the end of November 2023.
