Aug. 9, 2016 – While hardhats aren't required, entering and exiting Village Hall through the south entrance off the parking lot currently requires venturing into a full-blown construction zone.
Repairs to the Police Department’s underground garage began Monday, Aug. 8. Much of the work will be below ground level, but replacement of the at-grade driveway along the south entrance to Village Hall between Lombard and Taylor avenues will also be part of the construction activity.
The project, which entails repairing the garage ceiling, installing a new lighting system and replacing the at-grade driveways leading to the garage, is scheduled to be completed by November. Until then, visitors to Village Hall and Village employees should expect disruption to street parking on the east and west sides of the building and pedestrian access to the south entrance.
Access to Village Hall via the south entrance will be maintained throughout the project by using a golf-course style temporary bridge that will be erected across the gap created by the removal of the drive. Portions of the sidewalks adjacent to the current driveways will be removed as well, so all pedestrian traffic to and from the south entrance will be confined to the temporary bridge.
The Lombard Avenue entrance that offers access to the elevator for persons with disabilities will remain open through the project. The north public entrance through the Village Hall courtyard will also be unaffected.
Important Parking Information
The Village Hall parking lot will remain open throughout construction, but spaces will be in demand as the public safety vehicles typically parked underground and on the drive will be displaced.
Parking will at times be restricted on the east side of Lombard Avenue and the west side of Taylor Avenue between Madison and Adams streets to make room for construction staging. Additional restrictions will be in place along the north side of Adams, where parking will be limited to official Village vehicles. Be sure to obey the posted signs.
Visitors to Village Hall will be directed to the west side of Lombard and the east side of Taylor where parking is limited to two hours and tends to turn over frequently. The time limits will be enforced.
The garage reconstruction is part of a larger Village Hall capital improvement project that will involve repaving the Village Hall parking lot and installing new lighting in 2017. The Village Hall parking garage has 10 parking spaces and provides access to the Police Department, which uses the space to transfer prisoners in and out of Village Hall.
