Street Repair & Capital Projects
Each year the Village of La Grange Park undertakes the rehabilitation/reconstruction or replacement of portions of its infrastructure. This includes streets, sewer mains and water mains, and to a lesser degree public building improvements and replacement of the vehicles and equipment responsible for maintaining the infrastructure.
How We Determine Which Streets Are Replaced
Every block in the village undergoes a periodic survey to determine its physical condition including drainage structures, curbs, gutters and given a rating score to compare with other blocks. This allows all streets to be targeted for improvements based solely on need. In addition to the physical appearance of each street a thorough history of underground utility failure such as water-main breaks, sewer collapses / blockages, etc. is also conducted. The necessary work is optimally performed when water and sewer repairs or street replacement can occur simultaneously.
