The Sampson Street makeover is slowly and surely coming together as Phase I of this complex operation is nearing completion. While several variables can still impact the project, opening the street by early October is a hopeful target.
The sidewalks are almost done but they won’t be fully finished until after the utility poles are removed. This week, gutter and parking spaces will be poured setting the stage for mainline street pavement to follow over the next several days.
There have been some significant delays to this revitalization through the business district due to utility relocations. Ameren will be relocating poles and electric lines to James Street followed by communication companies that will do the same. Once this work is done, Sampson Street utility poles from Route 9 to South St. will be eliminated.
Phase II of the project is scheduled for next summer and will run the remaining length to Pearl Street (IL Route 9). While the same amount of street and sidewalk work will be completed at that time, it should be noted that the time frame should be much more condensed due to the fact that utility poles will be gone.
Winning Communities continues to raise funds for the aesthetic portion of this project that includes the brick pavers in front of Perdues, greenery throughout the street, and any other benches/amenities as funds allow. The support of Tremont Betterment (Turkey Festival), Village businesses, and several
residents has been greatly appreciated. Contributions are still needed at P.O Box 76 or tremontil.com/donate
