Additional Paving Notes:
-
Binder Course (1st Layer of Asphalt – reconstruction/overlay streets only) – Paving signs are placed at the ends of the street on the day prior to asphalt installation. This layer does not require oil application prior to paving as paving occurs on the stone base.
-
Level Binder Course (1st Layer of Asphalt – resurfacing streets only) – Fresh Oil Signs are placed at the ends of the street between 12-24 hours prior to oil application (signs are placed on Friday prior to a Monday morning oil application). Oil is typically placed in the early morning hours and level binder pavement is placed later that day (all work is weather dependent). Paving signs are also placed at the ends of the street on the day prior to any asphalt installation. If street access is necessary, driving at less than 10 mph is recommended. The Village and contractor are NOT responsible for oil on your vehicle when the “Fresh Oil” signs are standing. This material may track onto your driveway, and/or adhere to your vehicle.
-
Surface Course (Final Layer of Asphalt – all streets) - Fresh Oil Signs are placed at the ends of the street between 12-24 hours prior to oil application. Oil is typically placed in the early morning hours and final surface pavement is placed later that day (all work is weather dependent). Paving signs are also placed at the ends of the street on the day prior to surface asphalt installation. If street access is necessary, driving at less than 10 mph is recommended. The Village and contractor are NOT responsible for oil on your vehicle when the “Fresh Oil” signs are standing. This material may track onto your driveway, and/or adhere to your vehicle.
Special Street Revitalization Project Notes:
-
Preliminary construction activities, such as project layout, tree root pruning, concrete sawcutting, delivery of materials/equipment etc., may occur along your roadway days/weeks prior to the actual construction project start dates. These activities should not affect your ability to access your driveway.
-
Residences within the project limits will receive letters handed out by the contractor at least three (3) days prior to the start of construction work and loss of driveway access.
-
Changes to the tentative start dates can occur frequently. Any changes to previously listed starting dates will be provided with each weekly update email and posted on the website.
-
Remember cell phone use is prohibited in construction work zones and as always, please proceed with caution while driving through these work areas.

The Village is continuing its program to remove and replace certain tree species, including Silver Maple and Siberian Elm. This effort helps reduce risks and follows best practices for long-term tree care.
In 2025, approximately 2,400 trees were inspected, and about 425 were identified for removal in 2026 based on their condition and species. Our goal is to replace each removed tree with a more suitable species to create a healthier, more diverse urban forest over time. In some cases, a replacement tree may not be possible due to utility conflicts or limited space.
Residents will receive notice about two weeks in advance if a parkway tree near their home is scheduled for removal.

Construction FAQs
Street reconstruction involves full removal and replacement of the existing roadway and curb& gutter, along with partial replacement of sidewalks and driveway aprons.
Street resurfacing involves the removal and replacement of the wearing surface pavement, along with partial replacement of curb & gutter and sidewalks.
Most of the street reconstruction or resurfacing work generally will be completed within a one-month time frame, excluding final landscape restoration. At some locations, additional underground infrastructure improvements will be included in the scope of the project, which can affect project timelines.
All village-run Street Revitalization Projects are scheduled to run from mid-March through November. A tentative schedule will be posted on our website once construction begins. Depending on weather, contractor progress and other factors, these dates will change throughout the course of the project.
Residents within village project limits will receive a notice from the contractor placed at their door three (3) days before the actual start of work on the street. Signs noting construction dates will be posted at the beginning and end of the street. There may be times when you see little or no work occuring on the street. During these periods, the contractor may be working elsewhere along the street, on a separate roadway, or delayed due to weather.
Depending on whether the street will be reconstructed or resurfaced, driveway access will be limited at times. Residents within the project limits will receive a notice from the contractor placed at their door three (3) days in advance detailing when loss of driveway access will occur.
During the period when driveweay access is unavailable, it will be important that all vehicles be moved out of your driveway and parked on adjacent streets before 7:00 am. For your convenience, the Police Department will lift some parking restrictions adjacent to project locations and increase patrol activity. Parking will be allowed on both sides of adjacent streets, but it is still prohibited to park within 20 feet of a crosswalk, 15 feet of a fire hydrant, or facing against the flow of traffic.
Mail delivery will continue during the street project. On some streets, mailboxes next to the curb will be removed during construction. Cluster mailboxes will be set up at the end of the block for mail delivery in these situations. On most streets, mail delivery will occur as normal.
Garbage pickup will occur on your regularly scheduled day however, pickup times may vary based on construction activities scheduled on your street. To ensure pickup, please have the garbage set out by 6:00 am on the regularly scheduled day.
Restoration of the disturbed parkways will occur after completion of the street work. Sod will be used on streets that have been reconstructed. Seed and erosion control blankets will be used on streets being resurfaced.
All areas will be backfilled with topsoil for safety shortly after the completion of roadway work. Due to high summer temperatures, most final landscape restoration work will not begin until mid-September.
At the completion of the project, Village engineers will assemble a list of items that were not satisfactorily completed by the contractor, which will include improper landscape restoration. Please be assured that, if there are deficiencies, the village will be working with the contractor to complete them.
