Burlington Avenue Commuter Parking Set To Be Resurfaced

WESTERN SPRINGS, IL — The resurfacing of the Burlington Avenue commuter parking spaces between Grand Avenue and Central Avenue is scheduled to begin next week, the week of Aug. 28. According to a release from the village, the project is estimated to take two weeks and the parking spaces will be unavailable for public use.

Residents should expect delays in travel when within the project limits as construction equipment, vehicles, and personnel will be on-site during working hours, the village said. Commuters should account for additional travel time as available parking may be farther from the train depot. Commuter spaces west of the project area or east of Wolf Road, on both sides of the train tracks, are typically open for daily use.

According to a release, Western Springs received $250,000 in grant funding from the West Suburban Mass Transit District for this project. The grant covers 70 percent of construction costs with the village providing the remaining 30 percent.

The project includes the replacement of the concrete gutter located on the southern edge of the stalls and the asphalt resurfacing of the commuter stalls, according to the release. Additional resurfacing will be done on Burlington Avenue to repair any damages that occur during the gutter installation. Pedestrian improvements will also be completed at the northwest corner of Grand Avenue and Burlington Avenue.
