Concrete Curb & Gutter This Week

Last week, DiMeo Brothers  continued with the installation of the new storm sewer along Westview Road.
  
This week, the storm sewer crew will continue with the storm sewer installation along Westview Road. It is anticipated the storm sewer work will be completed by the end of the week or early the following week. Once the storm sewer work is completed, all the underground utility improvements will be completed.

Roadway reconstruction of Glendale Drive began last week.  The contractor started approximately 3/4 of the way north of Central Road and worked south towards Central Road. It is anticipated this portion of the roadways will be excavated and new aggregate base installed by the end of the week.

This week, the contractor will return to where they started on Glendale Drive and work north towards Westview Road. The contractor is anticipating to have this portion of the roadway excavated and new aggregate base installed prior to Wednesday.

The major work operation scheduled for this week is the installation of concrete curb & gutter. The concrete curb & gutter will be installed along the remaining portions of Central Road and along Glendale Drive from Central Road to Westview Road. The current schedule is for string-line to be installed on Wednesday, November 5th. Grading of aggregate base and structure adjustments on Thursday. Pour concrete curb & gutter on Friday. We are requesting all residents be out of their driveways by Wednesday, November 5th starting at 7:00 AM to facilitate this construction. Residents will not be allowed back into their driveways for approximately 1 week. We ask that you park your vehicles on the north side of Central Road, south side of Westview Road (west of Glendale Drive only), and west side of Glenayre Drive. Residents will be able to park on the east side of Glendale Drive during the overnight hours, but we ask that all vehicles be moved by 7:00 AM each morning.  We are requesting these parking locations due to the width of the roadways and on-going construction. If you require handicap access please contact Russ Jensen or Chris Baumann so we can make arrangements. 

We understand the significant inconvenience the upcoming work is causing to your daily lives. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding during this time.

Hope you had a safe and fun Halloween!!!

Driveway restrictions and partial roadway closures are anticipated during this process during working hours. Residents will be allowed to access their driveways every night.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as you deal with the construction operations in your neighborhood. The upcoming weeks will be challenging as driveway closures will be wide-spread and effect a significant amount of residents. We thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

Storm Sewer Continues on Glendale and moving to Westview

Last week, DiMeo Brothers  continued with the installation of the new storm sewer along Glendale Drive from Central Road north to Westview Road. The contractor is currently concentrating on the storm sewer mainline and installation of catch basins and inlets. The contractor has also continued to install storm sewer services along Glendale Drive.

It is anticipated the contractor will complete the storm sewer installation along Glendale Drive this week. The contractor will then begin installation of the storm sewer along Westview Road from Glendale Drive west to the cul-de-sac.

The contractor is anticipating to begin roadway reconstruction on the south end of Glendale Drive at Central Road and working to the north the week of October 27th. This work will consist of excavating the roadway, installing new aggregate base course, concrete curb & gutter, and asphalt pavement. Residents will be notified prior to this work beginning and informed of any potential driveway restrictions.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the residents who live within the neighborhood as they have dealt with the construction operations, especially last week. The rainy conditions posed a huge challenge to the contractor and made the roadways extremely sloppy. Please be assured we are doing everything possible to clean them and provide dry surface to drive on.

Water Main Installation Completed

This past week, DiMeo Brothers  completed the water service and sanitary sewer service installation along Glendale Drive and Westview Road. The contractor also completed the final connections / disconnections from the existing water main to the new water main. At this point, there does not appear to be any reason for additional scheduled water main shut-downs. The water main improvements are completed.

The landscape contractor also completed the installation and grading of topsoil and installation of sod along Central Road last week.

As the public utility conflicts are now resolved, DiMeo Brothers will begin installation of the storm sewer next week along Glendale Drive starting at Central Road and working north toward Westview Road. During the storm sewer installation, the contractor will be closing the roadway to all traffic during working hours in the vicinity of where they are working for that day. Those residents who live on Glendale Drive, we are asking that you drive around the construction area as much as possible utilizing Glenayre Drive.  When the work is adjacent to your property, access to your driveway will be restricted. The contractor will attempt to notify you prior to restricting access to your driveway to allow you to make arrangement to move cars or park elsewhere.

The Village has made contact with the school districts and bus companies regarding this roadway closure. Thank you for your understanding with the inconvenience this is  causing to your family.

First 2 Layers of Asphalt Installed on Central Road

This past week, DiMeo Brothers  continued the roadway reconstruction process along Central Road from Glendridge Drive to Glendale Drive in preparation for asphalt pavement and asphalt paving on Friday.

The major item of construction last week was the installation of the first two layers of asphalt pavement along Central Road from Glenridge Drive to Glendale Drive. The third, and final, surface layer of asphalt pavement will be installed later in the year once the construction along the other roadways in completed.

This week, the contractor will continue to install water services and sanitary sewer services to each resident along Glendale Drive.

New water services will be installed from the new water main to the existing b-box within the Village right-of-way. New services will not be installed all the way to your home. During water service installation, water to individual homes will be turned off while the transition is made. Typically the water is turned off for 1-hour. The contractor will knock on the door of each home prior to turning off the water. It is difficult to determine the exact timing of the water shut-off; therefore, 24-hour notice is not given. The contractor will work with you to determine the best time to shut-off the water to the greatest extent possible.
