Skiing through slush? Snow problem
Starting first or second week of April the city of Galena will be replacing sidewalks and crosswalks on Main and Commerce streets and some adjoining streets. The above plan shows the location of the areas to be replaced for Phase 2 (Phase 1 was completed in 2017). Louie’s Trenching will be completing the work. Project duration is estimated at 10-12 weeks with completion by June 28. The city plans to remove deteriorated exposed aggregate sidewalk and replace it with slightly tinted broom-finish concrete to match the existing sidewalk color. Brick pavers in the same areas will be removed and replaced with concrete. Some disruption to store access will occur during the work. The goal is to minimize this by doing one block at a time and also having prefabricated walkways that can be used by customers to reach the stores if the sidewalk is undergoing replacement.
