Objective

To improve the area of the roadway by removing the existing deteriorated pavement and replacing it with new, structurally sound pavement. To reduce the frequency and severity of flooding and sewer backups by separating the existing combined sewer.

Description

This project consists of the reconstruction of selected areas on East Maple Ave, North Summit Ave, East Oak St, East Pine St, East Division St, and North Myrtle Ave within the Village of Villa Park.

This includes installation of new storm sewers, manholes, inlets and catch basins, Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) selective pavement improvements, selective drainage and utility improvements, pavement markings, erosion & sediment control, and restoration and other related and incidental work. This project will include approximately 5,670 linear feet of storm sewers. The combined length of road improvements is 8,077 feet. 

Justification

The Village's pavement management program has determined that the condition of these streets has deteriorated to the point that pavement rehabilitation is needed. This project is to be partially funded by voter approved bond proceeds.

public notice: IEPA Financial Assistance

The sanitary sewer separation and related work for the Maple ArIEPA Logoea Improvement Project were financed by the Water Pollution Control Loan Program (WPCLP) State Revolving Fund (SRF). The SRF program is administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and receives a portion of its money to fund these types of projects from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This project includes areas throughout the Village of Villa Park. Once complete, it will improve water quality for area residents and businesses in Villa Park and the Salt Creek Watershed by reducing the inflow and infiltration (I/I) of both stormwater and debris into the sanitary sewer system, thus lessening both the frequency and severity of sewer surcharges and sewer backup. SRF programs operate in each state to provide communities the resources necessary to build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure that protects one of our most valuable resources: water.
