Over the past couple of years, the Village Board, Public Works Committee and staff have been working to develop a comprehensive plan to replace the existing sidewalks throughout the Village. At the Board's May 16 and June 13 regular meetings, Village staff presented reports on the sidewalks needing to most amount of repair and proposed schedules to complete sidewalk and handicap ramp upgrades¹. At its meeting in January 2010 and again in May 2010, the Board unanimously approved the use of the PineHall Pathway Full Range Clay Brick paver for use throughout the Village, regardless of the material that is being replaced.

At its meeting on June 13, the Village Board authorized two (2) contracts to obtain construction services to replace all sidewalks over the next four (4) years and existing handicap ramps in the upcoming fiscal year (beginning July 1). In year one of the sidewalk replacements the Village's contractor, Capitol Hardscapes, will be focusing on replacing sidewalks along Village streets that have been categorized as needing to most amount of repair. In keeping with Village policy to actively use the SafeSpeed revenues to improve pedestrian safety all existing handicap ramps in this Village will be upgraded in the first year, and may even begin as early as the middle of August, with sidewalk replacements beginning shortly thereafter. Prior to construction, residents will receive more detailed correspondence outlining the final schedule and construction phasing.

In the interim, the Village's Public Works crews will continue its work in support of the Village's sidewalk maintenance and repair program as we continue to utilize the funds generated by the SafeSpeed Program to make the Village a safer community for all.
