WHAT:
New storm sewers and new roads. The work will involve the installation of new storm sewers and new street construction that includes new curb and gutter and new pavement. Parkway areas behind the new curb will be sod and asphalt entrance aprons will be installed within the parkway area for each driveway at each house.
WHERE:
Two streets, Catalpa and Beechwood. The work will include Catalpa Drive & Beechwood Drive from Washington Street to Midland Drive.
WHEN:
This summer. Storm sewer and road improvement construction is scheduled to begin in the first week of July. The underground storm sewer work will be done first followed by the curb and gutter and road paving and the final work will be restoration and parkway sod. The work is expected to last the duration of the summer.
WHY:
There'’s one purpose and multiple benefits. The purpose of the project is to improve storm water drainage in your neighborhood especially during severe rain storms. New catch basin type manholes have been designed into the improvements to settle silt from the storm water to improve the quality of the water that drains to Round Lake as a benefit. As part of improving the drainage, concrete curb and gutter will be constructed along the streets to eliminate the gravel shoulders to better control storm water and at the same time enhancing the entire roadway as another benefit.
Temporary access inconveniences will occur during certain phases of construction during daytime hours. Roadways and driveways will be made accessible during off hours and weekends unless notified in advance. Efforts will be made to minimize any inconvenience and you will be notified in advance anytime access in or out of your property will be blocked due to construction. Dust is always a problem with this type of work and efforts will be made to minimize dust.
NEW DRIVEWAYS:
As a part of the improvement all driveway aprons will be paved up to the property line. However, the general contractor for this project,Chicagolandd Paving, Inc., is willing to quote a cost to individuals that would like their driveway repaved during the construction of this project. If you are interested in having your driveway paved, and would like to receive a quote from Chicagoland Paving, Inc., call Bill Bowes at 847/550-9681 between the hours of 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday. Mention that you are a resident within the "CATALPA DRIVE & BEECHWOOD DRIVE INFRASTUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT"” in the Village of Round Lake. Each resident will be responsible for the cost of paving their own driveway. Residents will not have to pay for the asphalt entrance apron up to your property line as this work is included in the construction project.
Thank you in advance for your understanding, patience, and cooperation. We will circulate project updates as necessary during the course of construction.
