Phase 1 of the plan calls for work from 2nd to 3rd Streets on Broadway and Clay. Water main work will not close off the streets because the mains were put in several years ago and now they only need to be hooked into the system. The brick work will naturally close off the street entirely. That block of Broadway, including the intersection with 2nd Street, will be closed first, with residents on that block having access through the alleys. When that block of Broadway Street is finished, it will be opened up and work will begin on Clay Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets. Phase 2 begins on 3rd Street between Broadway and Clay.
About 75 owners and occupants of businesses along the downtown brick streets were in attendance at a meeting held Wednesday, March 18 by the city of Tecumseh and K2 Construction, who will be doing the work. Questions were answered relating to the project and how it would affect the businesses and residents along the route.
Jeffrey Pelz of K2 Construction said, “the meeting went extremely well. Everybody was really excited.”
He stated that the company is very willing to work with the public so the project goes smoothly for everyone.
