Oak Park OKs $1.42M Road Resurfacing Project

The Village of Oak Park on Monday approved a contract with Chicagoland Paving Company for a street resurfacing project on 18 blocks in Oak Park. 

The village removed two blocks planned for the project to lower the cost from Chicagoland Paving Company's initial bid of $1.57 million to the village's budgeted $1.42 million, according to a village staff memo.

The project will also include curb replacements on 12 of the 18 blocks.

Oak Park Public Works Director John Wielberbecki told the Wednesday Journal the village will use concrete for the project because it has higher longevity than asphalt. 

The first phase of the project will include work on:

• Cuyler Avenue, from Adams Street to Madison Street; 
• Erie Street, from Linden Avenue to Scoville Avenue;
