Central business district streets will soon be resurfaced, so a meeting has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 27 in the Village Hall auditorium, 53 S. La Grange Road.
The summer resurfacing project will include Burlington Avenue from Kensington Avenue to La Grange Road, Calendar Avenue from Ashland Avenue to La Grange Road, Harris Avenue from Ashland Avenue to La Grange Road to Sixth Avenue and Ashland Avenue from Burlington Avenue to Harris Avenue, according to Public Works Director Ryan Gillingham.
The Village is in the process of developing the plans and specifications for the project and will be explaining the details of the work at the meeting. Public input from the business and shopping/dining community also will be encouraged.
All residents, business and property owners living on or adjacent to the streets included in the project area are urged to attend.
Village staff and the engineering consultant will be there to discuss details pertaining to the work scope, project schedule and answer questions.
The project mainly consists of resurfacing the existing roadway surface by grinding off a layer of asphalt and replacing it with a new surface.
Intermittent improvements to some drainage structures, sidewalks and other infrastructure components also will be made.
The project is scheduled to begin in mid-July and be completed by the end of August.
At certain points in the construction process, parking will be limited, and the village will work with the contractor as much as possible to minimize any inconveniences.
Further information is available by calling Gillingham or Assistant Director Mike Bojovic at (708) 579-2328.
