2022 Street Resurfacing Phase 2

August 29, 2022                                           

Eden Avenue (Scott Street to Ruby Street)

Ruby Street (Eden Avenue to Ivanhoe Avenue)

Contractor - Schroeder Asphalt   

The project will include the removal and replacement of select portions of curb and gutter and any associated sidewalk, driveways located behind the curb and gutter that is being replaced. The project will primarily involve the removal of the existing asphalt pavement, patching of the underlying pavement, and the installation of two new layers of asphalt.  

Work is anticipated to begin the week of September 13, 2022 (the exact date is weather dependent). Completion of this project should take about 8 weeks with completion expected by early November . We will keep you abreast of any significant changes in the schedule. As in all construction, we expect that you will experience some inconvenience.  

Driveway Access

Some homes will have their curb and gutter removed which will affect their driveway. This means you may not have access to your driveway during this time.  

If work is being done that will interrupt access to your driveway, you will receive a notice from the Contractor at least one day in advance. As a courtesy reminder, the Contractor will knock on your door one time the morning the removal process begins. Also, curbs, gutters and driveways that are slated to be removed will be marked with paint in advance to help you identify if your driveway access will be affected.  

The interruption of access to your driveway could last up to ten (10) days but will likely require less time. Barricades preventing access to driveways will be removed as soon as you can resume using them. The interruption of access to your driveway is necessary to remove the old curb/gutter, to pour the new curb/gutter, and finally to allow the concrete to reach the proper strength before permitting vehicle traffic on the new contract.   

Parking

During curb, gutter and driveway work, parking will be prohibited where the work is taking place. We are asking residents to avoid street parking between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, to allow for a safer work environment for the Contractor and to assist roadway traffic flow.

There will be other days during the project, when the existing asphalt is being removed and when the two lifts of asphalt (one day for each lift) are placed, that parking will be prohibited on both sides of the street. The duration for each of these interruptions will be one day or less. “No Parking” signs will be posted on the street in advance.

Finally, if you have a sprinkler system in the parkway please let us know in advance so we can alert the contractor and avoid damage to your system.

Please contact the Village at (847) 678-2550 with any concerns or questions you may have. In addition updates on the project will be available on the “Construction Updates” section of the Village website.

2022 Street Improvements UPDATE

Dear Resident,

We are providing this letter to provide you with an update on the Village of Schiller Park Street Improvement Project which is taking place on the roadway in front of your home.  

All concrete work (curbs, driveways and sidewalks) is now complete and the INITIAL backfill along sidewalks, driveways, and the curb on all streets will be completed by the end of this week. Final landscaping will not be completed until the fall.

All driveways will remain accessible and all no parking restrictions will be lifted, after the placement of the initial backfilling is complete.

As you may be aware, the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 went on strike on Wednesday, June 8, 2022 against Major Material Producers and Quarries Across Northern Illinois. This strike affected the availability of asphalt. Fortunately, the strike was settled earlier this week and the operators went back to work on Wednesday, so asphalt will again be available beginning next week. The Contractor has a significant amount work on other projects which are ahead of the Villages project in the queue.  

We anticipate that the next stage of construction, removal of the existing asphalt pavement, patching of the underlying pavement, and the installation of two new layers of asphalt will take place in late August or early September.  

Another notification will be hand delivered prior to the commencement of the next stage of construction. Thank you for your patience and as always, please feel free to contact the Village at (847) 678-2550 with any concerns or questions you may have. In addition updates on the project will be available on the “Construction Updates” section of the Village website.
