Construction dates have yet to be determined and are usually provided around two weeks in advance of work. The 1st Ward Office will provide updates as they become available at our Wood Street Improvements page.

Note: Following installation of the Wood St. Greenway, N Wood St will (between Division and Augusta) be a one-way going south.

+ Hoyne Water Main Replacement

In the spring of 2025, the city will replace the 140-year old water main on Hoyne between Potomac and Cortez. Upon completion of the water main installation, all lead service lines within the limits of the newly installed main will be replaced. Restoration will follow, including full-width street resurfacing along with repair of damaged parkways and sidewalks.
