NiCor Utility relocations
Weeks of October 2 to October 16th
Utility Work – Advance work for the Polaris Stormwater Improvement Project
NiCor has completed relocation work of six- and eight-inch gas service mains, and in some cases replaced two-inch private gas services to homes on Kilpatrick and 105th.
NiCor has been slow to restore sidewalks, and grassy area's impacted by their work. The Village and CBBEL is working on expediting those efforts.
Polaris Sewer Improvement Project
Weeks of October 2 to October 16th
Important Notice- Landscaping and Parkway Restoration
Landscaping and parkway restoration activities are underway and include the installation of seed and hay blankets throughout the project area. Due to the size of the project, sod was not a cost-effective option and was therefore not included as part of the restoration plan. The work has started and will continue to the completion date of October 23, 2026. Work began on Kilpatrick Avenue between 107th Street moving north up to 105th Street and will continue along 105th Street as sewer and concrete improvements are completed.
Residents may notice that some restoration activities overlap with ongoing Nicor utility work. The Village and its representatives evaluate each restoration area individually to determine the appropriate level of restoration, and these determinations may be adjusted as conditions change. As part of the contract, the contractor will provide three initial waterings following seeding and blanket installation. After that time, homeowners may need to provide additional watering and maintenance to help establish healthy vegetation.
Additionally, damaged sprinklers are being repaired, if you have experienced damaged sprinklers due to construction, please contact Heer Dave at 224.477.7332.
STATUS Update, Polaris Park is 100% excavated, and is on schedule Polaris Park Ballfields are 85% complete, Sewer Work on 105th is 100% complete, Concrete restoration is 95% complete, and Landscape Restoration is 30% complete.

Please be aware that prime coats (liquid asphalt) will be placed and should be avoided by using other streets if possible. Signs reading (Fresh oil) will be placed.
Work hours are 7am to 4:30 pm. Moving your vehicles to side streets prior to work starting will help crews be efficient, stay on schedule, and minimize your inconvenience.
Work in Polaris Park will continue, and the following activities will be occurring daily: Earth excavation and trucking, with underdrain sewer installations for the foreseeable future. Baseball and softball fields have been completed on the South sides of the park. Special field mixes (MidLo) mix have been placed on two fields and the north field is beginning to take shape.
Please be aware that the Polaris Park will remain closed until late spring once school officials and village officials have approved grass establishments are ready for sports activities.
All work including landscaping is scheduled to be completed at the end of October with minor work at the end of November. The Polaris ball fields are scheduled to open in the spring of 2027 but is dependent on grass establishments and will be determined by the School District, Village officials and the construction team.
