STRIKE NOTICE

Dear Resident:

Thank you for your ongoing patience during the Village construction project adjacent to your home. At this time, the Village has been notified that Chicagoland Construction Labor Unions are going on strike. The conflict is between the Contracting Companies and the Unions, not involving the Village.

Work has therefore been temporarily shut down on your street. We are insuring that all construction sites are safe to the general public and will continue to actively monitor each site.

If any issues arise, or if you should have any questions, please contact the Village Project Manager or the Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500.

As of today, we do not have any information on how long this strike could last. We will inform you when this issue is resolved and work will resume.

Thank you again for your patience while this matter is resolved.

The contractor is pouring the concrete medians in the center of Lehigh today. These medians are meant to slow down traffic along southbound Lehigh as well as create an aesthetic enhancement near the downtown area. The medians will be landscaped.

Concrete Placement on Prairie

The asphalt patching inside the new curb line along Lehigh was completed on Thursday. The new curb line allows for some landscaped medians in the center of Lehigh as well as a longer and straighter right turn lane onto Glenview Road from Southbound Lehigh. We are coordinating schedules with the library work, and the new medians down the center of Lehigh should be done in the next week or two. The intersection pavement of Dewes and Washington will also be replaced later this month and may require traffic to be re-routed for several days (more details to follow).

The contractor began concrete pavement on the new Prairie cul-de-sac today. Weather pending, they plan to complete it tomorrow. After the concrete has time to cure, the area will be landscaped and then Prairie will be complete!

Curb along Lehigh

The contractor had to leave out a few sections of curb along the west side of Lehigh due to the relocation of the light poles. Now that those poles have been relocated, the contractor can complete the curb line and pour a concrete base in between the road and our new curb

Prairie Cul-de-sac

The curb has been poured around the newly redesigned cul-de-sac. The contractor is currently prepping the roadway for asphalt pavement, which (weather permitting), could be scheduled for next week.

Curb along Lehigh

The new curb was installed along the west side of Lehigh today, from Spruce to Glenview. The light poles are being relocated, so the curb will be able to be completed soon.

Excavation of the new Prairie Cul-de-sac is ongoing. We should see the curb going in next week!
