At last night’s Special Village Board meeting, the board discussed a plan to address village roads that are currently rated 1 or 2 on the PASER road rating scale. These include Jefferson Street, Main Street, and several other roads throughout the village, as shown on the attached map. Some of these projects would also include necessary water and sewer upgrades.
Earlier this year, the board and Public Works Committee discussed whether to pursue an advisory referendum to gather resident feedback on a potential five-year plan to address the village’s worst roads. Last night, the board reviewed projected costs for each proposed project, along with the estimated impact on the tax levy. After that discussion, the Village Board decided to move forward with developing a five-year plan to improve village roadways. There will not be an advisory referendum on this topic.
Village staff will now prepare a recommended schedule identifying which roads should be completed in each year of the five-year plan. The proposed plan will then be reviewed by the Public Works Committee before receiving final approval from the Village Board.
Improving village roads is an important long-term investment in the community. Residents are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates as this plan moves forward.
