As you are aware, there was an error in the construction survey performed by the contractor that required the previously installed concrete curb & gutter and driveways to be removed and replaced. The error caused the roadway to be constructed higher than originally planned. This caused driveways to be pitched towards the sidewalks (typically driveways pitch towards the road) or to be extremely flat with minimal pitch. The higher road could also have an effect on the overall drainage patterns within the neighborhood. Please understand, a major discussion point with all parties involved was the additional inconvenience caused to the residents living along the project site. Weighing all the options, it was determine the best decision was to remove and re-install the concrete curb & gutter and driveways to the designed elevations.

In order to reduce the additional inconvenience to the residents, as soon as the error was found, all parties involved were informed. The decision was made quickly and the contractor worked diligently to correct the error as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for all your patience and understanding during this unfortunate circumstance. Please understand, the Village is doing everything possible to get the errors corrected as quickly as possible.
