Sidewalk work is advancing at several intersections along Jefferson Avenue as part of the Adams Street and Jefferson Avenue One-Way to Two-Way Conversion Project. The construction is currently taking place at various locations.

The southwest corner of Fayette Street and NE Jefferson Avenue, near 228 NE Jefferson Avenue, is one site where work is underway. Another location is the southeast corner of Main Street and NE Jefferson Avenue, near the Peoria County Courthouse. Additionally, sidewalk improvements are occurring 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, are also being addressed.

The sidewalk work at the northeast corner of SW Adams Street and N William Kumpf Boulevard has been completed.

Pedestrians are reminded to exercise caution in areas where sidewalks are closed and to cross streets at available intersections. On-street parking restrictions are clearly marked; drivers should look for unbagged meters for available parking. Parking meters with "No Parking" signs indicate restricted areas.

As the project progresses, additional parking, lane, and sidewalk restrictions will be announced. Drivers should remain aware of workers in the area and adhere to no-parking zones while exercising extra caution.
