The Stephen Street Trail Connection is an important trail connection that will connect the Village of Lemont to the regional Centennial Trail. Phase I Engineering is nearing completion with Design Approval expected within the next several months. Phase I Engineering is being processed through IDOT as a Categorical Exclusion project. The south end of the project begins where the existing I&M Canal Trail intersects with Stephen Street. The project consists of an on-street bike route heading north to the north end of Stephen Street. The trail then continues as an off-street bike path to the Centennial Trail. A single span prefabricated truss bridge is proposed to cross over the Sanitary and Ship Canal. The project will provide recreation amenities, health benefits, community vitality, economic benefits to the downtown area and a sense of place in trail communities, improving quality of life for residents of the Village of Lemont, and contributing to the region's growing commitment to building healthy, sustainable communities.
