Contracted crews will begin replacing sidewalk squares included in the 2014 Sidewalk Replacement Program starting the week of May 19.

This is the third year in a long-term program to replace squares deemed “highly defective” according to the City’s survey of more than 265 miles of sidewalks in Wheaton.
 
This year’s program will focus on the north section of Wheaton, bounded by Harrison Avenue to the south.

Strada Construction will be removing the existing sidewalk, framing and pouring the new sidewalk, and completing restoration work. You can see a map of the squares scheduled for replacement and track the program’s progress on the City’s website. The City anticipates this portion of the project will be complete by the end of summer.
 
Questions about work in your area can be addressed to the City's contractor, Nick Dibenedetto, at 630-675-6176. More information about the program is available on the City’s website.
