Residents who frequent Lot 10, the popular parking lot on North Boulevard between Marion Street and Forest Avenue in downtown Oak Park’s business district, can expect construction this spring.
The sidewalk will be replaced along the north of the parking lot. Then, the lot will be closed for four to six weeks while crews install water permeable brick pavers, according to the village newsletter, which is part of green infrastructure upgrades.
Lot 10 will have a new traffic pattern when the construction is complete, which officials estimate will be this summer before special events in August and September. Cars will enter on Forest Avenue and go west to Marion Street.
The lot will also have angled parking for more sidewalk space, according to the village, which will allow for more outdoor dining space in the summer, too.
This construction project also includes resurfacing North Boulevard between Marion Street and Forest Avenue.
