Construction of the Washington Street Green Infrastructure Improvements has now reached the point that the contractor is ready to begin installing new curb and gutter and driveway aprons. During this time, crews will be setting a string line and preparing the roadway for curb installation. This work will be followed by the pouring of the new concrete curb and gutter. Driveway apron and paver installation work is also expected to take place during this time.
Unfortunately, in order for this work to take place, residents will not have access to their driveways for a period of approximately four weeks, weather and other circumstances permitting. During this time, residents will be allowed to park during the day and overnight on side streets, where permitted, and will be allowed to park overnight on your street, where permitted, between the hours of 5:00 PM and 6:00 AM. The Villa Park Police Department will be notified of the need for this parking situation, and should accommodate residents accordingly.
We fully understand that this work will be one of the most inconvenient portions of the project for residents, but would like to emphasize that this will mark a substantial move towards completion of the project. After the curb and driveway improvements are complete on both sides, pavement work will continue. As always, all questions and comments regarding this project should be directed to the Engineering Division of the Village of Villa Park Public Works Department at (630) 834-8505. We also ask that any residents with special needs contact us so that we can accommodate them as best as possible. We thank you for your continued patience, especially during this period of the project. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
