Village Hopes to Complete Parking Lot Before Libertyville Days

Since October 2011, the parking lot behind Libertyville Libertyville Village Hall and west of Milwaukee Avenue has been open to the public, but some work still remains.

“We still need to put the final lift of asphalt down, which is about 1.5 to 2 inches, Dumpster enclosures, landscaping, sidewalk and lighting in the corner near Tommy’s Pizza and 545, laying concrete in that area and striping again,” said Public Works Director John Heinz.

Work on the west parking lot improvement project started in the summer of 2011 and added sidewalks and direct pedestrian access from the parking deck garage to Village Hall. The lot also was reconfigured to allow better traffic flow and easier truck deliveries.

Village workers are waiting for asphalt plants to reopen before resuming work on the parking lot.

“When the West Parking Lot is complete is weather-dependent,” Heinz said. “Ideally I’d like to have it done by Libertyville Days, so it’s not hampering the event.”
