2021 Budget in Brief

ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

A street maintenance program is approved annually by the Mayor and Board of Trustees wherein various Village-owned and accepted streets are scheduled for rehabilitation. The purpose of this program is to reconstruct streets that have shown signs of deterioration over and above the normal maintenance. An original Village plan from early 2017 left over 40% of roads in poor condition and over 10% in very poor condition through 2023. The Village Board and Mayor Pekau approved spending increases in 2019 that will reduce the roads in poor condition by half and advance the road improvement program by four years in just the last 16 months. The program includes replacement of hazardous sidewalks, repair or replacement of non-functioning curbs and gutters, milling of existing streets, new surface layers of asphalts and construction of ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps and crosswalks. Miscellaneous roadway patching will continue to be completed in areas throughout the Village not yet scheduled for the complete road improvement program.

2021 BUDGET FOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND ROADWAY MAINTENANCE IS $7.5M
