47th Ward Infrastructure Update

Check out the infrastructure map on our website.

Lawrence Avenue Streetscape

Landscaping work has been delayed, but will soon be performed along the rest of the project. Sod will be installed in mid-July since the original shipment was of poor quality and new topsoil will be added before plants are installed. Dead and damaged trees will also be replaced along the entire corridor. As always, please pay close attention to parking restrictions as crews will need to access these areas.
New stamped asphalt will be installed to connect Claremont Plaza to Giddings Plaza in mid-July after the subcontractor experienced some delays. In Claremont Plaza, the brick pavers were adjusted and additional work will include a new fence to shield the dumpsters, which is expected to start in late July.
There have been some issues with sidewalks and curbs/gutters spalling and the contractor will be removing and replacing a number of sections along the corridor. We will provide additional information on replacement timelines when they become available. This additional concrete work will extend the final project completion timeline.
The new traffic signal controller at Damen was recently installed and timings have been adjusted. Remaining electrical work, which includes additional traffic signals, is expected to be completed by late July.
Gateway identifier poles and bike arcs were recently installed and neighborhood identifier poles and banner arms are in place. New benches and trash cans were also installed along the corridor.
