Construction Update – DCEO Street Lighting Project - Week of June 14, 2021
Construction of the DCEO Street Lighting Project started last week. Utility Dynamics has installed all of the light pole foundations along Catalpa Avenue and Bryn Mawr Avenue; and has completed approximately half of the light pole foundations along North Street this past week.
This coming week, the remainder of the light pole foundations are scheduled to be installed, along with pouring the electrical control cabinet pads on Bryn Mawr Avenue and North Street. Unit Duct cable installation is also scheduled to start mid-week along Catalpa Avenue. The Unit Duct will be installed by directional drilling to minimize the disturbance of the parkways. Unit Duct installation will then proceed on Bryn Mawr Avenue and North Street once the installation on Catalpa Avenue is complete.
Temporary lane closures and delays may be experienced; however, they will only last for a short period of time during the construction operations.
We ask for your full understanding and cooperation during construction.

Project Summary
The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) has granted the village approximately $250,000 towards installation of street lighting along local school corridors. The project is intended to improve safety along major school corridors by providing street lighting to create a safer environment for pedestrians traversing to school.
The project will include the installation of streetlights along Catalpa Avenue from Center Street to Bryn Mawr Avenue; along Bryn Mawr Avenue from Catalpa Avenue to Maple Ave; and along North Street from Walnut Street to Arlington Heights Road (see the project location exhibit).
The project will consist of installation of 33 LED streetlights on aluminum poles. The design of the light pole locations was based on photometric calculations in accordance with Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) standards. These calculations determined the spacing of the poles. Other design considerations were avoidance of driveways, fire hydrants and other utility conflicts. The contractor will utilize directional drilling for the electrical conduit installation and helical foundations to minimize the disturbance of the parkway areas. Any disturbed parkway areas will be restored with topsoil and hydroseed. During the project, street parking will be prohibited in areas designated by signs or cones to allow the contractor access to the parkways as needed. Driveway access will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. Please take extra care travelling through these areas and obey all construction signage and personnel.

Project Summary
The Annual Street Resurfacing Program is intended to make systematic repairs to streets and curbs within the Village. Streets are inspected and receive ratings which are used to identify deficient roadways for crack filling, patching, or resurfacing. Other information, such as forthcoming capital infrastructure projects is also considered so that we maintain the greatest longevity for our roadways.
We are pleased to report that the Village of Itasca has awarded a contract to Brothers Asphalt Paving to perform roadway resurfacing on the street that you reside. The work includes grinding of the existing pavement, curb and gutter removal and replacement, pavement patching, and may also include storm sewer installation and driveway apron removal and replacement.
Due to the nature of the work, on-street parking in these areas will be temporarily prohibited on the list of streets below until construction is complete. Pavement patching, pavement marking, and crack sealing will also be taking place Village-wide. Please take extra care travelling through these areas and obey all construction signage and personnel.
Approximate limits of roadway resurfacing:
George St | From | Parkside Ave | To | Prospect Ave |
Schiller St | From | Emmerson Av | To | Princeton Av |
Bonnie Brea Av | From | Irving Park Rd | To | Schiller St |
Maple Av | From | Grove St | To | Bloomingdale Rd |
Cherry St | From | George St | To | South End |
Bonnie Brea Av | From | George St | To | South End |
Lombard Rd | From | Oak St | To | Bloomingdale Rd |
It is also possible that you may not have access to your driveway during working hours when construction activity occurs, however, in no case should your driveway be out of service overnight, except for when any new concrete driveway and/or curb is poured to allow proper time for the concrete to cure (Approximately 5 to 7 days). The contractor has been instructed to ensure that residents to be impacted by construction are notified in advance.
