Meters heads to be removed 
and Construction Striping will begin
the week of March 4, 2002

Preliminary work for the Campustown Infrastructure Reconstruction and 
Streetscape Project will begin on Healey Street as of Friday March 8, 2002, 
between Sixth and Wright Street.  Healey Street will be used as two-way 
traffic and no parking will be permitted on the street during construction.

The meter heads on the East Side of Wright Street from Armory Street to 
Healey Street will be removed beginning Tuesday March 12, 2002.  

Beginning March 15, 2002, the meter heads on John Street between Sixth 
Street and Wright Street will be removed and traffic on John Street, as 
well as the corresponding parking spaces will be reversed in a westbound 
direction.

The week of March 18, 2002, the meter heads on Sixth Street between Healey 
Street and John Street will be repositioned to accommodate diagonal 
parking. 

Construction striping will begin Wednesday March 13, 2002 and follow the 
same schedule as the meter head removals/replacements.

The city expects the contractor crews in the area and temporary lane 
closures.  This work is weather dependant and delays on Wright Street can 
be expected.  

Green Street from Sixth to Wright will be closed to all thru traffic 
beginning the week of March 18, 2002.  Green Street from Fourth to Sixth 
will have one lane of traffic open for local traffic only in an eastbound 
direction.

The major project work is scheduled to begin on Saturday March 16, 2002 and 
has a project completion date of Friday, August 23, 2002.

The City of Champaign would like to emphasize that Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, 
and Wright Street will remain open throughout the construction project.

Campustown Visitors are encouraged to use the City's parking Lot J at the 
intersection of Sixth & Green and the University's Lot at Sixth & John or 
Lot D-9 at Lincoln and Green.
