Village Projects
The Village of Northbrook strives to maintain the Village’s water, sewer, and surface infrastructure in a safe and stable condition. If you are interested in learning more about the status of private development projects within the Village, please visit the Ongoing Development Activities page. Pages have been established for each of the public projects to provide residents with current information on the status of these projects. The following are public projects of the Public Works Department:
-
Arterial Sidewalk Program - Summer 2020
In addition to the routine sidewalk removal and replacement program, the Village maintains the sidewalks located adjacent to major arterial streets within the Village, such as Dundee Road. These sidewalks are heavily used throughout the year and provide a critical link between different areas of the community for pedestrians. This program identifies sections of deteriorated or defective sidewalk on at least one side of the arterial road and replaces or repairs them to remove potential hazards using the same replacement process outlined in the routine sidewalk removal and replacement program. In 2020, the Village will complete improvements along Landwehr Road between Keystone Road and Huehl Road.

Asphalt Street Resurfacing Program - 2020
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 2019 program will focus on rehabilitating portions of Woodlawn Road and the entirety of Penfold Place and Picardy Circle.

Surrey Lane Stormwater Project - 2020
This project involves constructing stormwater improvements at the Surrey Lane cul-de-sac, including a conveyance storm sewer from the cul-de-sac to the Lee Road existing storm sewer and a low/flood overflow structure at the east side of the Surrey Lane cul-de-sac with a restrictor plate. Also, a relief swale will be constructed within the drainage easement. Two inlets will be added within the cul-de-sac area to improve drainage. A short segment of the Lee Road storm sewer system will be modified to accommodate the new storm sewer and flood overflow path. Currently, this area experiences cul-de-sac, front yard and rear yard flooding.
