Work on Lake Street will be completed in phases to reduce traffic disruptions due to lane and street closure. Portions of the street may be reduced to one-lane and traffic rerouted, however. Travel also may be temporarily limited to one-way along portions of the street. Village staff will be working closely with business operators along Lake Street to make sure their customers can still shop. Clear signage, including to direct drivers to nearby parking alternatives, will be a key component of the strategy to keep traffic moving through the district and ensure access to businesses and residences.
Spring also brings the construction season and a host of capital improvements.
This year's construction season will be aggressive, as Village crews and contractors begin one of the most comprehensive capital improvement schedules in memory. More than 50 separate projects are planned, including major road resurfacing, parking lot improvements, sewer and water line replacements, and the ongoing upkeep and replacement of curbs and sidewalks.

Parking permit holders affected by construction will be notified prior to work beginning and temporary alternate arrangements made.
