Van Buren

Objective

To significantly improve the condition of the roadway by removing the existing, deteriorated pavement and replacing it with new pavement. Storm sewers will provide better drainage in the area and increase the life expectancy of the new pavement.

Description

This project consists of the reconstruction of Van Buren Street from Ardmore Avenue to Cornell Avenue. The sanitary sewer will be replaced throughout the project area, and new storm sewer will be installed in a portion of the project area. Selective improvements to the water system will also be completed.

Justification

The Village's Pavement Management Program has determined that the condition of the street has deteriorated to the point that pavement rehabilitation is needed within five years. The storm sewer will lessen the frequency of street flooding.
