The box culverts at Lunt Avenue and Pratt Boulevard have been completed. The
roadway surface course has been placed and landscaping is being installed.
Pocket park benches will be installed later this month.
Arthur Avenue is closed to traffic while the box culvert construction is completed.
The roadway is scheduled to be opened by the end of October 2005.
Landscaping at Arthur Avenue will be installed in Spring 2006.
• LIVELY BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS— HOWARD ST TO TOUHY AVE
Roadway reconstruction from Touhy Avenue to Landmeier Road, including two
rail-crossing improvements has been completed. Parkway sodding and the final

• DEVON AVENUE AND TONNE ROAD
Bids for the project were opened on August 5, 2005 and the State has awarded a
contract to Alliance Contractors for $2,459,115. Utility relocations will occur this
year with construction of the roadway improvements beginning in March 2006.
• WELL SITE AND GATEWAY ENHANCEMENTS
Well site and gateway enhancement designs are being revised. Contract lettings
for this work are anticipated this year. Material fabrication will occur over the
winter months and construction operations would begin in the Spring 2006.
• LIVLEY BOULEVARD— DEVON AVENUE TO TOUHY AVENUE
Phase 1 engineering studies have been completed and the State has approved a
Public Hearing for the project. The meeting is scheduled for October 19, 2005
from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Greenleaf Fire Station. The project will include the
reconstruction of rail crossings along Lively Boulevard and on Devon Avenue

studies should be implemented for the Busse Road at Pratt Boulevard and Greenleaf
Avenue Intersection Improvements. Conceptual studies to determine the scope of
improvements for Biesterfield Road at the Interstate should also be implemented.

agreement to improve the Arlington Heights Road intersection at Oakton Street and
Landmeier Road. The Commission approved the implementation of Phase 2 design
engineering for this project.
The unincorporated land parcels remaining in the Business Park were
discussed. The Commission will explore actions which may be taken to aid in the
development of these parcels at the next ICRC meeting.
The next scheduled meeting of the ICRC is January 12, 2005. It is noted
that the meeting date was postponed one week to the second Thursday in January.
