Concrete Sidewalk Construction Continues on West Side of Tower Drive and Navy Blvd.

The Village of Glenview greatly appreciates everyone’s cooperation during construction at the Glen Town Center. With warm weather approaching, we hope to make significant progress in the upcoming months. Our priority is to keep local stakeholders informed and maintain pedestrian access to businesses during construction. We’ve highlighted the construction activity to anticipate in the upcoming weeks below:

Work completed last week, May 9th to May 13th:
·         Continued to install electrical conduits for street lighting and tree accent lights, and irrigation piping on west side of Tower Drive from Aviator Lane to Valor Drive.
·         Removed existing concrete sidewalk on north side of Aviator from Tower to Parking Decks
o   Temporary access provided to businesses
·         Began installing curbing for planter beds behind concrete curb & gutter on the north and south side of Navy Boulevard.

Construction activity beginning May 16th:
·         Electrical conduit and fixture installation continues.
·         West side of Tower Drive from Aviator to Wolverine: Once the irrigation piping and electrical work is complete, standard concrete will be poured from the new sidewalk to the curb and in planting beds, excluding locations where stamped and colored concrete will be installed. 
o   Starting May 23rd, stamped and colored concrete will be installed. Full sidewalk is expected to reopen in this zone once the stamped and colored concrete is set.
