Letty Schamp, the city of Hilliard's capital improvements project and transportation engineer said work on the Main Street improvement project should wrap up soon.

Work on the streetscape project began in March and Schamp said construction is expected to be complete close to the Oct. 31 target completion date.

"We should meet that date pretty close," Schamp said. "We have some delivery of materials that aren't expected until early November, so, realistically, we're looking at mid-November, but I think folks will see it pretty much wrapped up in the next four weeks or so."

"We were really wanting to create a public space in the right of way that better accommodated pedestrians for more foot traffic," she said. "We wanted this to start the process of bring more people into Old Hilliard."

She said equally important were some much needed infrastructure repairs.
