I just received this press release from the City of Peoria:
Due to a water main leak downtown in the intersection of Main Street and Madison Avenue, lanes will be reduced while Illinois American Water Company and Ameren make repairs to their utilities. Please plan your route accordingly to avoid this intersection for the next week as delays will be possible. It is anticipated that one lane of traffic will be maintained in all directions – but this may be subject to change depending on the extent of damage found when making the repairs.
Funny.
Good to see the City of Peoria is right on top of things, as usual. It would have been nice to have the press release before yesterday morning, which is when they dug the great big holes in the street,blocked both pedestrian cross-walks, and blocked off traffic.
And just in the interest of full disclosure, this is the exact same issue that was “corrected” about two years ago by digging giant holes in the exact same places in the street. It took them almost two months to “fix” the problem that time – I wonder how long it will take this time?
Sounds like a utility company issue not the city.
Remember we don’t own the water co.
Maybe Ms. PH could get out there and fix it better herself.
” AMEN, peoriafan! “
