The conspiracy to make my neighborhood roads unusable continues

From my inbox:

Date: July 2, 2009
Released by: Alma Brown, Communications Manager, 494-8554
Subject: Road Closure

Turner Construction is planning to kick off the major portion of phase I for the Hamilton Boulevard reconstruction on Monday, July 6, 2009. Hamilton Blvd. will be closed to all traffic from the south side of Crescent Ave to the north side of Glen Oak until October 23, 2009. Southbound Hamilton traffic will detour to Randolph Ave. to North St. to Main St. to Glen Oak. Northbound Hamilton will detour to Glen Oak, to Main St., to Crescent Ave. The Emergency Department remains open with access via Crescent Ave. from Main St. or southbound Hamilton.

Attached, please find a map to clarify the closure.

At least they aren’t detouring traffic down MY block on Randolph, nor are they blocking off traffic.

But then, the last time the Greater Peoria Sanitation District did work on that area, they promised not to block access to Hamilton for people who live in the 200 block of Randolph. And of course, they did exactly that very thing.

So, I anticipate the worst.
