Over the spring and summer months, Main Street was revamped to the south of the railroad tracks with new trees, sidewalk furniture, accessibility features and improved underground utilities. Workers will plant autumnal perennials in the coming months to further spruce up Main Street.

Winter will bring a pause in work on the streetscape project, but crews will kick off construction on phase two in 2023.

Glen Ellyn began its streetscape project in March 2022 after years of planning and development. The initial street repair will be helmed by A Lamp Concrete Contractors of Schaumburg, with Bollinger Loch and Associates of Itasca serving as construction engineers.
