North Gilbert Street Reconstruction Project public information meeting scheduled for Wednesday
A public information meeting for the North Gilbert Street Reconstruction Project will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, in the Art Room at Horace Mann Elementary School, 521 N. Dodge St. There will be a short presentation at 5:30 p.m.
The project includes the reconstruction of North Gilbert Street from just south of the intersection with Kimball Road to – and including – the intersection with Brown Street. This section of street will be replaced with new concrete pavement and curb. Existing brick street sections will be restored back to the original bricks at the end of construction. The project also includes the undergrounding of aerial utilities, new sanitary sewer, new storm sewer extensions, minor watermain adjustments, new sidewalks and retaining walls, new concrete driveway approaches, and some regrading work. The final steps of the project will include site restoration including grass seeding and general construction cleanup.
Construction for the project is expected to begin this spring and conclude in fall 2025.
