Weather permitting, the annual Village crack sealing project will commence shortly. Crack sealing is a low cost preventative measure used to extend the life of asphalt pavement by preventing water from penetrating the surface of the pavement. Existing cracks need to be cleaned before they can be sealed in order to allow for a good bond between the sealant and the pavement. This makes it a very dusty undertaking, but overall disturbance is minimal as work in any given area is completed within a matter of hours. Within a few days of cracks being sealed, the streets will be swept and work is then complete. The list of streets we will be crack sealing this year is as follows:
Kirk - Crawford to Hamlin
Laramie - Howard to Harvard
Brummel - Niles Center to Lavergne
Dobson - Lavergne to Lincoln
Kildare - Golf to Grant
Payne - Lowell to Keeler
Grant - Kildare to Keeler
Keystone - Church to Emerson

Crain - Niles Center to Skokie Blvd
