A New, Safer Look

 

Check out the newly installed pedestrian activated LED signage at both Regent and Pelham Parkway crossing of Brown Deer Road.  The push button activated signage engages advanced blinker lighting, as well as state-of-the-art RRFB lighting at the crosswalk.  The new signage is designed to improve pedestrian safety in the area, by drawing drivers attention to the crosswalks.  The signs are solar powered with warning signage controlled by wireless radio transmission.  

 

In addition to the new pedestrian signage, Village crews will be replacing sign posts along Brown Deer Road and Lake Drive over the next few weeks.  The new aesthetic poles provide a warmer welcome through the Village's main corridor, and also provide less long-term maintenance needs.  

Construction Season Winding Down

 

Road construction on Bayside Drive, Tennyson Drive and W. Ellsworth Place concluded this week, with the final surface coat placed on Tuesday.  Work was delayed slightly after the road bed was found unstable, requiring additional work prior to final asphalt placement.  Final road shouldering and landscape work will take place over the next few weeks, completing the work in the area.  

 

In addition to road paving, work included cross culvert replacement, residential culvert replacement, and ditch regrading to aid in the flow of stormwater.  The project was completed by Stark Asphalt, with excavation work performed by Praeger & Sons.   

Yard Waste Pickup Returns


The week of September 12 marks the return of yard waste collection throughout the Village.  Yard waste was not collected this past week due to the shortened holiday week.  Please remember, have all your items out to the curb by 7am on the day of your scyard waste heduled pickup. 

 

If you have excessive amounts of yard waste that you need cleared, please stop into Village Hall to schedule a special pickup.  Also, residents can use the yard waste drop off site, located just off of Fairy Chasm Road, at any time.  Take a moment to view the remainder of the year's scheduled pickups.
