The Village of Downers Grove announced renovations near the Main Street Train station and plans to install five new flexible amenity areas downtown.
"Work is underway outside the Main Street Train station," a village staff member said. The speaker said the Lynn De Coonsie Plaza and its adjacent drive are being renovated and that construction is expected to make downtown busier this summer.
Village officials described the five amenity areas as flexible spaces that will allow restaurants to expand outdoor seating during the outdoor dining season and serve as gathering areas for seasonal programming and community activities for the rest of the year. The announcement framed the projects as part of the village's ongoing downtown beautification and streetscapes initiative.
The village directed residents to downers.us for more information about the projects and the guiding streetscapes plan.
No timeline for project completion, construction phasing details, or cost information were provided in the announcement.
