A note from Ald. Schulter with news that might affect your commute:
For the next three months, Montrose Avenue will be unavailable to through traffic between Damen and Ashland. Local traffic will remain open along with all sidewalk access. All of the businesses on Montrose Avenue will remain open. I encourage 47th Ward residents to shop locally and to continue to support the businesses on Montrose.
Repeated partial collapses during cleaning and inspection operation have persuaded the Department of Water Management that a full sewer replacement between Damen and Hermitage is necessary.
The Montrose CTA Bus (#78) will be rerouted eastbound at Damen to Wilson. The bus will continue east on Wilson to Ashland and then back to Montrose. The west bound route will continue through the construction area on Montrose. The Montrose El Station will remain open at all times during this work and access to the station will be ensured from all directions.
When does this work begin? There aren't any sign on Montrose as of the 25th.
ReplyDeleteThe email was dated today (7/25) and said work will begin "next week."
ReplyDeleteWell this is a waste of time. The only way to fix aging sewer infrastructure is to build a giant seven floor CHA building on the site. Stupid Gene Shulter, he doesn't understand anything.
