Last pieces of downtown pedestrian mall gone

Link to June 25 Rockford Register Star article.

Excerpt: The last remnants of a downtown pedestrian mall on Main Street are gone.Stenstrom Construction on June 1 was awarded a $1.9 million contract to remove the mall, which opened in 1975, and restore two blocks of Main Street from Elm to Mulberry streets. Two weeks after a ceremonial groundbreaking, planters, trees and the surface of the mall have already been removed.
