According to Shorewood and the project managers, the pavement on Oakland Avenue has deteriorated, requiring it to be replaced. The village will also upgrade underground infrastructure by replacing water mains, laterals, sewers and any lead pipes.
The newly constructed road will include curb extensions and enhanced bicycle accommodations. The village said it will remain the same width.
Also, rectangular rapid flash beacons will be installed at Elmdale Court and Glendale Avenue to improve pedestrian safety. They are also going to replace and modify RRFBs at Jarvis Street.
The southbound right turn lane at Metro Market will also be removed.
