As you are aware, Nicor Gas has been installing a new gas main along Glenview Road for the past few weeks.  Nicor will also be installing new gas main within the entire neighborhood and new gas service to each home. The work will be performed in conjunction with the Village project, but the Village project will take priority regarding scheduling and completion dates. It is anticipated Nicor will begin working on the south end of the neighborhood, along Raleigh Road near York Road, later next week. You should expect, or have previously received, correspondence from Nicor regarding the work to be performed and contact information should you have any concerns with their portion of the work.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding.

Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend!!!!

The major construction activities are beginning. The contractor will make the connections to the existing water main along Glenview Road at Raleigh Road and Drake Road. During construction, driving along Glenview Road will be difficult and you are encouraged to use alternate routes.  The contractor will control traffic with flaggers and Glenview Road will always have one-lane open.

The contractor is performing both connections along Glenview Road this week to avoid conflicts and reduce congestion when the intersection improvements begin at Glenview Road and Waukegan Road the week of May 15th.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding as construction is now underway throughout the neighborhood.

Work Completed last week, April 24th to 28th  
·         Resident preconstruction meeting conducted. Thanks to all of you that attended
·         Material Deliveries
·         Set-up Staging area on south end of project

Work Anticipated to be completed, May 1st to May 5th

Thanks to all of you that attending the Resident Preconstruction Meeting last Monday evening. We hope that you found it informative and well worth your time.

Next week, the contractor will begin mobilization of equipment and work in preparation for heavy underground utility construction starting the week of May 8th. The contractor will grind-in-place the existing roadway along Raleigh Road from Hudson Road to Glenview Road, Drake Road from Raleigh Road to Glenview Road, and Baffin Road from Drake Road to Raleigh Road.  The grind-in-place work is anticipated to take 1-day and you will be able to drive on it soon after it is completed. However, during the construction, the section of roadway being worked on will be difficult to drive on and use of an alternative route is suggested.

As the week continues, you will see periods of construction activity with the major work starting on Monday, May 8th.
