Each year streets are selected for maintenance, based on the Village’s Pavement Management report. The Village Board approves the list of streets for resurfacing based upon current condition and the budget dollars available to fund the project. 

Construction and convenience, unfortunately, do not go hand in hand.  Large neighborhood resurfacing projects don't happen overnight and your patience and courtesy is greatly appreciated! Improvements include grinding off the top layer of asphalt and repaving; curb and gutter repairs as necessary; ADA improvements to sidewalks; and new traffic calming solutions. Construction work typically occurs between May and October each year.

Please keep in mind during construction season, emergency vehicles will always have access and your garbage service will continue, however your garbage may be picked up earlier in the morning before the contractor begins work. Please have your cans at the curb the night before pick-up.

As always, construction schedules are dependent on weather and are subject to delays.
