2001 Accomplishments
Street Resurfacinq / Reconstruction Proqram. This program is a 10-year pian to
eliminate the large backlog of streets needing reconstruction or resurfacing. During the
first five years, the reconstruction backlog is targeted. The last five years will
emphasize the resurfacing backlog. 2001 was the fifth year of the program and the Iast
year of the reconstruction phase. During the past five years, 16 mi[es of streets have
been reconstructed; an average of 3.2 miles per year at an average cost of $676,300
per mile. In addition, 24.7 miles of streets have been resurfaced; an average of 4.9
miles per year at a cost of $161,500 per mile.
Route 83 and Central Road Streetliqhts. Work has begun to install new streetlights
along Central Road and Route 83. The Central Road project will place new lights along
the heavily traveled roadway from Northwest Highway to Arlington Heights Road. This
project is a joint effort sponsored by the Village of Mount Prospect and the Village of
Arlington Heights. The estimated cost of this project is $@63,885. $675,040 will come
from federal transportation grants. $94,141 will come from the Village of Arlington
Heights.
The Route 83 project includes the installation of streetlights adjacent to the newly
reconstructed stretches of pavement. New lights will be placed from Sunset Road to
Prospect Avenue. The cost of this project is estimated at $584,433. Approximately
$379,992 will be funded by federal transportation grants.
Weller Creek Streambank Stabilization Proiect Phase A2. Work began on this
much-anticipated project following lengthy delays obtaining required federal permits.
This project will concentrate on stabilizing the creek banks between Route 83 and Main
Street as well as the stretch of creek between Emerson Street and School Street. This
work will compliment the 1998 Phase A1 project intended to stabilize the creek banks
between Emerson Street and Main Street.
The West Reach (between Route 83 and.Main Street) will be stabilized by installing a
sheet pile retaining wall along the south bank. The north bank will be stabilized by
installing a-jacks along the toe of the bank, regrading the slope, installing a permanent
erosion control blanket, and seeding with flood-tolerant grasses. This work will require
extensive thinning of the tree canopy.
In the East Reach, the banks will be stabilized by installing a-jacks to firm up the toe
and then regrading the banks to at least a 1:1-1/2 slope. The regraded banks will then
be covered with a permanent erosion control blanket and seeded with flood tolerant
grasses. In order to perform this work, and promote the growth of bank grasses, the
tree canopy in this part of the reach wilt have to be removed.
The total cost of this project is $2,591,000. The project will be complete by the end of
2002. This expenditure was offset by a $1,000,000 Illinois First grant.

Major Hiqhway Road Improvements. Staff has played an integral role orchestrating
significant improvements to some of the State of Illinois-owned highways that dissect
the Village. Specifically, all sections of both Rand Road and Northwest Highway within
the Village's corporate limits were completely resurfaced. Golf Road is slated for 2002
and staff has also petitioned the Illinois Department of Transportation to schedule timely
mprovements to Central Road.
Streetscape and Train Station Improvement,~. This project included safety and
aesthetic improvements around the Metra commuter train station. Specifically, safety
around the Route 83 rail crossing was improved by eliminating the right turn into the
commuter parking lot. This action reduced the potential for vehicles to queue across
the rail crossing and minimized the conflicting movements along Route 83 near the rail
crossing. The center parking lot was also reconfigured [o enhance pedestrian
circulation. Pedestrian access was also improved in the east lot by providing increased
access to the train platform and adjacent sidewalks. Im;)roved parking fee collectior
facilities and streetscape landscaping along Northwest Highway and Emerson Street
were also installed to enhance the user efficiency and aesthetics of'the area'. ~The
project cost $1,728,473. $703,000 was funded by an Operation Green Light grant;
$130,000 was funded by a Legislative Add-on Program grant; $133,000 was funded by
a Surface Transportation Program grant; $20,000 was funded by an Illinois First grant;
$100,000 was provided by Norwood Buildiners. The balance of the project cost
($442,473) was funded by the Village.

Architect Kevin Kemp
The meeting was convened to discuss Village Hall complex design options and possible
preliminary design with or without the use of Mount Prospect Public Library property, it
was also intended to discuss possible location of the Village Hall building and the
parking deck on the proposed property site.
Kevin Kemp provided a summary of his discussions, to date, with the library architect
and what the various building massing proposals are going to look like. He said one of
the limitations is trying to get light into the building and reorient the public face of the
building to the southeast corner of Emerson and Busse. He said the Library has stated
a desire to create a civic space that the two buildings can share.
General comments from the Village Board members were as follows:
There was a question as to whether a second floor could be added to the Community
Center portion fer the proposed site, and a strong desire to incorporate all functional
needs within the building. The preference was also voiced to minimize the height of the
proposed parking deck and improve the visibility of the proposed Village Hall from
Route 83. A suggestion was made regarding possible underground parking as a
consideration.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:57 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dave Strahl
Assistant Village Manager
