Peoria Standard

Sidewalk construction is underway at several intersections along Jefferson Avenue and SW Adams Street. This activity is part of the ongoing Adams Street and Jefferson Avenue One-Way to Two-Way Conversion Project.

The sidewalk work is taking place at specific locations, including the southwest corner of Fayette Street and NE Jefferson Avenue near 228 NE Jefferson Avenue, the southeast corner of Main Street and NE Jefferson Avenue near the Peoria County Courthouse, along Fulton Plaza at SW Jefferson Avenue between 120 SW Jefferson Avenue and 331 Fulton Street, pedestrian crossings along SW Jefferson Avenue across from Liberty Street near the Civic Center at 201 SW Jefferson Avenue, and the northeast corner of SW Adams Street and N William Kumpf Boulevard.

Pedestrians are advised to exercise caution in areas where sidewalks are closed and to cross streets at the nearest available intersection. Parking restrictions on streets are clearly marked. Drivers should look for unbagged parking meters for available spots. If meters display "No Parking" signs, those spaces should be avoided.

As the project advances, further restrictions on parking, lanes, and sidewalks will be announced. Motorists are urged to remain aware of workers in these areas and observe no parking zones while exercising additional caution.
