Construction Schedule

The contractor will have their survey layout crew onsite tomorrow (Saturday). Digging should begin on Tuesday.

STRIKE HAS BEEN RESOLVED

The strike was resolved this week and new contracts between the unions and contractors have been signed and are in effect. The contractor plans to begin work in the next couple weeks on the storm sewer installation. NICOR will be on site soon, relocating some gas mains that are in conflict with the project.

Strike Continues

As of this morning, the strike continues. The Unions and the Contracting Companies are still in negotiations and have not yet reached an agreement. It is our understanding that the next scheduled meeting is set for Monday, July 19.

We continue to ask for your patience and understanding during this time. We are continuing to monitor each construction site so that they remain safe to the general public.

As stated below, please do not hesitate to contact the Village Project Manager or the Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500.

STRIKE NOTICE

Dear Resident:

Thank you for your ongoing patience during the Village construction project adjacent to your home. At this time, the Village has been notified that Chicagoland Construction Labor Unions are going on strike. The conflict is between the Contracting Companies and the Unions, not involving the Village.

Work has therefore been temporarily shut down on your street. We are insuring that all construction sites are safe to the general public and will continue to actively monitor each site.

If any issues arise, or if you should have any questions, please contact the Village Project Manager or the Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500.

As of today, we do not have any information on how long this strike could last. We will inform you when this issue is resolved and work will resume.

Thank you again for your patience while this matter is resolved.

We met with NICOR representatives this week to discuss the relocation of their gas main, which is in conflict with the proposed storm sewer on the west side of Old Willow Road. During the next few weeks, NICOR will be on site to move their main, so that storm sewer work can begin. Our Contractor, ALamp Construction, is looking at other work one site that can be started while the gas company is doing their work.

Local Business Owner's Meeting

Thanks to those that attended our informational meeting on Wednesday for the local businesses. We anticipate construction to begin in the next couple weeks.
