Peoria, IL – Drivers in downtown Peoria should expect traffic disruptions and parking restrictions next week as the trial of The People of the State of Illinois v. Sean Grayson begins Monday, October 20, 2025, at the Peoria County Courthouse.
According to the Peoria Police Department, the 200 and 300 blocks of Main Street and the 300 block of Hamilton Boulevard will close to through traffic during the day, reopening each evening. Adams Street and Jefferson Avenue will remain open for drivers.
There will be no metered parking near the courthouse on Jefferson Avenue, Main Street, Adams Street, or Hamilton Boulevard. The Hamilton Parking Deck will also be closed to the public throughout the duration of the trial.
Officials warn that ongoing work from the One Way Two Way Conversion Project on Adams and Jefferson may cause additional delays and reduced parking options in the area. Businesses and employees downtown are encouraged to allow extra travel time and use alternate routes when possible.
All county offices within the courthouse will remain open for business, with many departments offering online and phone services to reduce in-person traffic.
