·         Continued with storm sewer installation along Raleigh Road from Drake Road to the south

Work Anticipated to be performed, July 31^st to August 4^th 

·         Continue with storm sewer installation along Raleigh Road, Baffin Road, and Drake Road

·         Grind-in-place the existing pavement along York Road, Hudson Road, and Raleigh Road south of Hudson Road

·         Nicor to complete abandonments of existing gas main and services.

The contractor has continued installing storm sewer along Raleigh Road. Due to several conflicts within existing utility companies (ComEd, AT&T, and WOW!), the contractor will be moving around to different areas of the jobsite until the utilities in conflict are relocated.  It is anticipated the storm sewer will be completed by the 2^nd week of August.

Once the storm sewer along Raleigh is completed, the contractor will begin roadway improvements on the south half of the project along Hudson Road and York Road. The first step will be to grind-in-place the existing pavement in the area where it was not previously completed. As roadway construction and excavation begins, it will be increasingly more difficult to travel along the roadways because the entire roadway width will be under construction. The Village will provide notices regarding anticipated timeframes for work along each section of roadway.

The roadway improvements will include removing the existing asphalt pavement, installing new gravel base materials, repair unstable areas of the existing materials under the roadway, new concrete curb & gutter, and new asphalt pavement.

Thanks again for all your understanding as construction continues.

Nicor Gas has completed installation of all the gas mains and services throughout the neighborhood.  The last work to be completed is connecting each home to the new gas main by installing a new meter and connecting to the existing piping at the home. This work can only be performed as it is scheduled by the resident. Please be sure to schedule an appointment as soon as possible so the old gas main can be retired and removed to avoid conflicts with the new storm sewer piping.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will help ensure the project is completed as soon as possible.

Thanks again for all you cooperation.

The new water main installation and service replacements will be completed by the end of the next week. There are a few services yet to replace along with making the final disconnections / connections to the existing main at various intersections.  During the water main connections / disconnections, a limited number of residents will be without water. The Village of Glenview will notify each resident of the day and time which the water will be turned off prior to doing the work.

The contractor will then resume installing storm sewer along Raleigh Road during the middle of next week.

Nicor Gas has been replacing the gas main and services throughout the neighborhood. They will be contacting you to schedule a time to switch-over from your old service to the new service.  As work as progressed, more and more services are able to be switched from the old main to the new main.  This is becoming a critical point in the construction in which the old main needs to be removed to avoid conflicts with the new storm sewer, please contact Nicor as soon as possible after you are contacted to allow them to make the switch.  Your cooperation in this is greatly appreciated and will help in keeping the project moving forward without delays.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding while living in a construction area throughout the neighborhood.

The contractor will notify each resident individually regarding the approximate time and day of the water shut-off prior to turning off the water.

Nicor Gas has been replacing the gas main and services throughout the neighborhood. They will be contacting you to schedule a time to switch-over from your old service to the new service. Please make contact with Nicor to schedule this switch-over as soon as possible once your notice is received.  Getting the old gas main abandoned as quickly as possible will help complete the project sooner. Please be on the look-out for these notices from Nicor Gas.

As stated in previous posts, since this project is funded by the Village of Glenview, construction will not be delayed due to the current shut-down of IDOT projects.

Have a safe and enjoyable July 4^th Weekend.
