Asphalt Street Resurfacing Program - 2018
Asphalt streets are selected for rehabilitation based on a computerized pavement management system (IMS), a thorough review of the condition of the pavement surface/base conditions by Public Works staff, pavement condition in relation to the adjacent streets, timing to select and complete the most cost effective rehabilitation measure and coordination with other Village infrastructure projects. The 2018 program will focus on rehabilitating portions of Hillside Drive, Lakeside Avenue, oak Avenue, Phillips Avenue, Prince Street, Raintree Lane, Sherman Drive, Snowbird Lane and Sunburst Lane.

Charlemagne Water Main Improvements - 2018
As part of the Village’s review of the Water Fund and the development of water rate study, a water main replacement program was included. The focus of this program is replacement of the 6-inch diameter cast iron main within the water distribution system as the majority of water main breaks occur on this type of main. The mains on Dauphine Avenue, Normandy Lane and Bordeaux Drive have been identified for replacement based on their age and break history.
